GrabCAD is one of the most popular platforms when it comes to finding and downloading a CAD file: with more than 7 million users, it allows engineers, industrial designers and professionals to share their creations and discuss the challenges of…

3D printing software is one of the key aspects of the additive manufacturing workflow. One which many engineers rely on when designing and optimizing parts. In recent years, multiple companies have been developing software tools that allow greater customization (through…

In 3D printing, there are a wide variety of software solutions for part design and modeling. However, many of them can be complex to use for those who are just starting out in this field. This is where BlocksCAD comes…

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 is the challenge MakerOS…

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 and the surface channels.…

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 leading successful projects. However,…

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 software, enables engineers to…

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 the entire additive manufacturing…

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 a number of features…

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, 3YOURMIND is providing AM…

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 your hands, instead…

Additive manufacturing is revolutionising the industry by leading a real change in production methods: relocation of manufacturing resources, gains in terms of flexibility for the production of prototypes and small series in-house, reduction in lead times and costs, etc. However,…
