Tinkercad is an online collection of software tools from Autodesk that enable complete beginners to create 3D models. This CAD software is based on constructive solid geometry (CSG), which allows users to create complex models by […]
3D printing requires for a 3D model to be sent to a slicer, before being sent to the 3D printer. There are sites such as Thingiverse where a variety of such models are available to download. […]
Effective communication and collaboration with clients is at the core of leading successful projects. However, it can be difficult to scale up activity in additive manufacturing when the tools are dispersed across many different platforms. This […]
One of the most popular 3D modeling software for manufacturers is Rhinoceros 3D, also known as Rhino. Based on NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Basis Splines) geometry, this surface modeling software is commonly used for architecture, prototyping, engineering, […]
AutoCAD enables the professional creation and editing of 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, surfaces, and objects. It is one of the most internationally recognized CAD software because of the wide variety of editing possibilities […]
The German company Hyperganic, which we met last year, recently presented its 3D printed rocket engine prototype, designed entirely by artificial intelligence. The entire part was designed as a single block, integrating both the combustion chamber […]
As many of you will know, in order to get a piece 3D printed, you need a slicing software, also called a slicer. The slicer converts the 3D model into a G-code file that will provide […]
For 3D printing service providers, managing day to day operations requires using many different tools such as billing, inventory, project management, and 3D file analysis. Effective communication and collaboration with clients are at the core of […]
Created in 1995, Blender is a complete 3D modeling software, very popular in the world of animation and video thanks to the many features it offers. The particularity of Blender is that it is 100% free, […]
In the 3D printing industry, there are many 3D modeling options to design the piece you would like to get 3D printed. Some software solutions are very popular for additive manufacturing, even though they are not […]
Design is extremely important for any manufacturing process. If you want to achieve the performance, cost and lead times enabled by additive manufacturing technologies, you should start with the right design. MSC Software, specialized in simulation […]
To start the year off right, we take you to Belgium to meet AdditiveLab, our first #3Dstartup this year. Winner of the Start-Up Challenge 2019 organized by Formnext, the company has developed software solutions to simulate […]
At the origin of any 3D printing process is the 3D modeling process: obtaining a 3D model is essential to create your part, whatever the sector of activity. This key step uses CAD software that offers […]
It’s no secret that additive manufacturing requires different processes than conventional manufacturing. For this reason, AM automation software can enable companies to unite every stage of production to optimize the AM workflow. Having identified this need, […]
The company flyingshapes° has released a next-generation virtual reality CAD solution. You might ask what is VR CAD - the concept is in fact quite original, in short it relates to drawing 3D objects with controllers […]
In general, photogrammetry is the science of obtaining reliable data about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images. Photogrammetry is often used by surveyors, architects or even engineers to create topographic […]
