Multi-touch will never happen with 3D CAD… OH, except it has… or will be, this fall. The company showing the potential? SpaceClaim.

There’s no announcement out of the company yet, but a video surfaced on YouTube over the weekend showing the future of what we’re assuming will be the next release of SpaceClaim. We’ll gather more info as quickly as possible. Until then, feast your eyes on the deliberate movements and multi-touch goodness of 3D-modeling in SpaceClaim.

Yes, materials, by nature, are 3D, but this one is the thinnest of them all. It’s also super-conductive, super flexible and makes steel look like a 90-lb weakling. At one atom thick, Graphene is the newest in materials being studied for applications in high-speed computers and other nanotechnology.

It’s a material that was first discovered in 2004, but since then, scientist have found new ways of adhering it to copper foil and most recently to silicon wafers using an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution allowing the Graphene to be detached. Why is this interesting?

It’s a video. 40 minutes of Alibre modeling fun and features coming out in the future version of Alibre. No need to cover the eyes of your children. It’s family fun for the future of 3D CAD.

The Alibre V12 Sneek Peak is described as a ‘stellar release with tons of little tiny things.’ It shows what features have improved, what users are asking for and most of all how it differs from everything else on the market. If you want to save yourself 40 minutes, we’ve whipped together the new features discussed and look into what’s being focused on.

It’s not every day you blow orange juice out your nose, but this day was special – a decent breakfast, electric shocks and links smart enough to make a monkey speak Latin. Marco Rolandi – There’s nothin’ like fresh CG concpet art and illustrations to go with your coffee. These are from the amazing Marco…

How many of you would like to take a dip in a pool of GPU’s? No? Something about pain? No worries. Greg Corke from Devlop3D takes a look at How to Buy a Graphics Card for SolidWorks in the next issue of Develop3D.

Instead of feeling like your jumping into deep, unknown waters, he lays out specifics that affect 3D performance and highlights what to look when considering a graphics card for your workstation. Here are some highlights…
