3D Software

Before you can 3D print a part, you have to create a model. This stage of conception is essential and can be completed using several tools, notably CAD (computer-aided design) software. They allow you to imagine any shape, whether you…

Metal additive manufacturing company, SPEE3D have just announced that they will launch a free ground-breaking metal 3D printing simulator called SPEE3DCraft later this April. The idea came about last year in the midst of the pandemic, during which the company…

Markforged announced last week that its AI-powered Blacksmith software will be immediately available for Markforged X7 printers. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term that has been increasingly thrown around when we talk about additive manufacturing. And really that is not…

Carbon has announced that its innovative 3D printing technology, the Carbon Design Engine software, is now available to all of its subscribers. This design generator allows users to automate the process of creating performance-orienting 3D printed lattices, saving time and…

Service providers play an important role in the additive manufacturing market. EY’s 2019 study on the state of 3D printing (3D printing: hype or game changer?) reported that there had been a significant increase in the percentage of companies using…

Based in the U.S. and Belgium, Oqton is a software company specializing in AI-powered solutions for the manufacturing industry, including additive manufacturing, and welding. The company just announced that it has raised over $40M in a Series A funding round…

Additive manufacturing, in contrast to traditional machining techniques, makes it possible to produce parts with complex geometries whose total weight can be optimized using a numerical method called topology optimization. This method also maximizes the mechanical strength of the part…

In 2017, MakerOS, based between New York City and Detroit, launched its version 1.0 collaboration platform for digital fabrication companies. At the time, Mike Moceri, the startup’s founder, had realized from first-hand experience that dealing with multiple clients while managing…

Link3D, one of the leading additive manufacturing workflow software providers, has recently announced the launch of a mobile application designed to help manufacturers manage post-production workflow. Aiming to give companies more control over their manufacturing processes, the new app is…

When it comes to creating parts via additive manufacturing, the design of the 3D model is crucial:  modelling methods will directly impact the final result, i.e. the appearance of the part, its quality, its resistance, but also the success rate,…

nTopology is a New York-based 3D printing software startup that was founded in 2015. The company launched nTop Platform in 2019, to empower engineers to design even the most complex pieces. nTopology has just announced that it had successfully secured…

For any fabrication company, sales and engineering teams need to work together to deliver projects efficiently, yet they rarely communicate or collaborate in an efficient way. This is why MakerOS launched its collaboration platform for fabrication companies, specifically 3D printing…
