If you want to do a quick design for 3D printing, Tinkercad is pretty easy to use. Although it was briefly in danger of going out of business, it was bought by AutoDesk who have made a lot of improvements. It is possible to program and simulate an Arduino in the same tool — which… Continue Reading Tinkercad Coding Tricks To Automate Modeling

Being able to create your own 3D models is something that can come in handy for a wide range of reasons. Whether you want to create some attractive 3D art, design a product to get 3D printed, or even make animations and special effects. Of course, 3D models also come in very handy for game developers, so… Continue Reading How to create 3D models for Android game development using Blender

CAD software is an important tool for professional architects, engineers, animators, and graphic designers. With the proliferation of open-source projects, free CAD software is in many cases no less sophisticated than its commercial counterparts. But given the many differences between the CAD programs, it can be difficult to choose the right one. This selection is… Continue Reading 2018’s Best Free CAD Software (2D/3D CAD Programs)

Many things you see online are not what they appear to be. In the case of social media influencers – people who are paid to promote brands and products – some aren’t even real people. In what is part of a growing online trend, some of these computer-generated influencers have more than one million followers… Continue Reading Computer-generated models’ social media influence on the rise

Tina Shrader, 12, wants to be an artist, but she also likes science and thought being a part of the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) would be fun. “I really like sketching,” Tina said. “I’m practicing trying to draw people in a cartoony-ish style” The soon-to-be Kotzebue eighth-grader asked her parents when she was… Continue Reading How ANSEP uses drones to teach 3D modeling

With developers chomping at the bit to play with ARKit 2.0, Unity has updated its ARKit plugin to enable access to the new augmented reality superpowers of the toolkit. The updated plugin is available now for developers via Bitbucket. “Apple announced exciting news for AR developers last week at WWDC, including ARKit 2. Unity has worked closely… Continue Reading Unity Gives Developers the Keys to ARKit 2.0 Capabilities via Updated Plugin

The general rule of thumb is that you want sharp, well-exposed photos, however, the software will automatically reject images that aren’t good enough. This means that photos from any camera will work and, indeed, the proof-of-concept for SfM was crowdsourcing photos from the internet. However, the quality of your 3D model will depend upon the… Continue Reading Creating 3D Models from Photos

Sinterit, a Polish 3D printing vendor, has announced the Lisa 2, a follow up to its flagship desktop selective laser sintering (SLS) machine. The new and improved platform has been brought to market on the back of customer feedback, and while boasting many of the properties of its smaller sister, the Lisa 2 is a benchtop… Continue Reading Sinterit launches benchtop Lisa 2 platform based on selective laser sintering process

Technological advancements are making every task easier and better. We are now able to do more with less in almost every sphere of our lives. Every sector is riding the technology bandwagon for better outcomes and the construction industry follows suit. Be it BIM or 3D modeling, technology is enabling the construction industry to achieve more in… Continue Reading 3D modeling in construction

You can now virtually visit various world wonders through Google’s Arts & Culture service, or even download their schematics to print your own miniature 3D models. In a post on Google Keyword, Google Arts & Culture programme manager Chance Coughenour said laser scanners now allow them to capture these monuments in fuller detail including the… Continue Reading How to 3D print world wonders, using data off Google

Sometimes the shape of an object prevents the easy 3D scanning of its entire surface. In these cases the resultant 3D model will have holes. Filling these holes is an often time consuming process and when automated can yield imperfect results, smoothing over details that existed in the physical object, and producing an inaccurate 3D… Continue Reading Automated Software Fills Holes And Prepares Model For 3D Printing

At Hannover Messe, the trade fair for Smart Production, ZEISS will be presenting RealScan, its first-ever 3D scanner and 3D scan service used to create photorealistic 3D models. From product presentation in the online shop to realistic representations in games and interactive training applications based on augmented reality, 3D technology is assuming an increasingly important role… Continue Reading RealScan – 3D Scanner and Scan Service by Zeiss

NASA is set to launch two satellite missions this year, in addition to conducting field research that will give scientists a better view of Earth’s frozen regions – made up of glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost, sea ice, and snow cover – known collectively as the cryosphere. One of the ways NASA studies the cryosphere is through snowflake research –… Continue Reading NASA Scientist Develops First 3D Model of Melting Snowflake
