Just when you thought everything was calm and it was safe to bring the kids in and show them the wonders of using a 3D mouse to create amazing products and fly around virtual worlds… 3DConnexion slaps a brand, spankin’ new 3D space manipulatin’ device on the table to completely shock your senses.

Gather the children, 3DConnexion has just announce the next in their line of 3D mice, their “most powerful 3D Mouse Ever”, the SpacePilot PRO.

We’ve got the release and the photos, but within the next couple days we’ll have a hands-on nitty-gritty look at all it offers you design, engineers and 3D hobbyists. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the the LCD screen and fresh, new button arrangement. Nice.

It’s not as if robotic cats are out to keep you from gaining knowledge about certain SolidWorks drawing features, but with their hollow gaze and reduced allergens they certainly would have that power in the right cubicle space.

While they’re indeed much more adorable than a stodgy, ol’ FeatureManager in SolidWorks, they won’t provide you near the amount of functionality to complete a drawing in record time. What could these powerful features be? Drawing features, accessed directly via the FeatureManager in a Drawing.

But the drawing’s FeatureManager is useless… just shows the sheets, right? Ahhh, NO. It’s packed with ways to make drawings easier to manage and here’s how you can use it.

Yes, It’s that day, and you need some 3D geometric inspiration. Look no further. We’ll take that 3D geometry hunger and add the sci-fi appeal and architectural construct of a single Brooklyn-based artist.

The intricate sculptures of John Powers captures a form that absolutely glorifies all the ideas of the mathematical properties of space. It rides on the imagination we had as children and sparks the manufacturing and design sense of our structured, yet fluid, world.

It’s amazing and inspiring. Could imagine walking through the space of pieces like Sci-Fi Wahabi #1? Take a look at more.

Squeezin’ into that browser just isn’t as easy as it use to be. You’ve got 3D search capabilities busting out all over. It’s even spilling onto your desktop to make your media searching and organizing a multi-dimensional trip to Zoom-ville.

‘3D searching’ – It’s here and it’s getting more intense. From web pages to images and all the media stored in the recesses of your hard-drive, we’ve got you covered. But on the 3D CAD and Design side… uhm, not so much.

Who’s bringing the 3D? A handful of companies. There’s similarities and differences, but it all wreaks of abolishing traditional search. Take a look. Can any of this be applied to 3D CAD or design?

Steep ledge, isn’t it? and a bit sharp too. I’d avoid the dark hollows up ahead though. You never know when a wily link will pop out and grab ya. LOOKOUT. There’s some now! TronixGFX – With a name like ‘Tronix’ it can only be good. Feast your oculars on some phenom 3D graphics Hunter…
