A resin 3D printer makes highly reliable prints through the use of SLA, LCD, or DLP technology. It solidifies UV resin and transforms the liquid into high-quality 3D models at a greater rate. To dig in further, Stereolithography (SLA) is the earliest form of resin 3D printing and operates by adding a substrate of photosensitive…
Autodesk seems to be tightening up their rules regarding use of the popular Fusion 360 CAD system. The company moved the product to a subscription-based cloud system a couple of years ago and then simplified their licensing levels. This is a very common practice in the software industry as it provides significant advantages: a near-100%…
Last year, we got an inkling on Magic Leap’s plans to partner with like-minded companies like Onshape to create more interactive 3D work environments using their not-quite-so-cheap AR/VR headset. By allowing multiple users to see and interact with 3D models in a real-world context simultaneously, working on models for engineering, product design, video games, and…
Remember Alibre? That’s how we started this article in April 2013 when Geomagic relaunched the 3D modeling software as Geomagic Design after acquiring them in July 2011. Geomagic had just been acquired by 3D Systems a short three months earlier in January 2013. It was all sorts of craziness. However, you would do well to…
Well, this snuck right past us. In mid-March, a Monday no less, IntegrityWare/nPower Software published a press release announcing the release of something new. You might be familiar with their ‘Power Surfacing for SolidWorks’ or ‘Power SubD-NURBS for modo’ plugins. Well, this announcement wasn’t about a new plugin, or an updated plugin. It was about…
