Have you ever wondered how 3D CAD software to create 3D configurators is used in the real world? Find out how a British company has made it cheaper than ever for farmers around the world to grow crops on their fields - increasing sales from 200.000 € million to 6 Mio. €. [...]
This article explains the difference between CAD und CAE. But let`s first clarify what CAD is. CAD is very important in the creation process of a 3D configurator. Not so long ago, before CAD was introduced, engineers did their drawings and calculations by hand. Today this would be far to expensive and not recommendable. [...]
What do we mean by "slicing" in connection with 3D printing? Slicing is also an important process in the creation of a 3D configurator. There are many steps to go from the idea of an object you want to create to your finished, printed 3D part. Slicing is the process of converting your 3D [...]
CAD programs are very useful in creation processes of a 3D configurator. While most engineers use paid CAD programs such as SolidWorks to create files for 3D printing (usually in stl format), several free CAD programs are available to help newcomers to the manufacturing world get started with part and assembly design. The purpose [...]
GrabCAD is a community of professional designers, engineers, manufacturers and students. It includes a free CAD library, tutorials and interaction options such as forum. To use the GrabCAD community is also very useful in the creation of 3D configurators. In this article, GrabCAD community member Ersin Karakoc talks aboutb his experience with the platform [...]
CAD or Computer Aided Design software was introduced in the late 1960s to accelerate the technical drawing process. CAD plays an important role in the creation process of a 3D configurator. While CAD is mainly used in engineering drawing and architecture, it can also be used for other purposes. [...]
CAD (Computer Aided Design) is the use of computer software for the design and documentation of the construction process of a product. CAD plays an important role in the creation processes of a 3D configurator. Technical drawing uses graphic symbols such as points, lines, curves, planes and [...]
Thanks to the widespread introduction of 3D printing, the doors to creativity are now wide open. Nowadays, anyone who has 200 € left can buy a device that can produce almost any object. The printing of 3D configurators plays an increasingly important role in practice. But [...]
Since 2012, Valve Indie has allowed developers of various directions to send games to the Steam platform via Greenlight. Greenlight is a community-driven voting system where submitted games are added to the shop as soon as you have received enough positive feedback. Greenlight plays an increasingly important role in creating processes of 3D configurators. [...]
What are Steam Machines and how do they work? While Valve is still in charge of its plans for Steam Machines, Microsoft seems to be exerting more influence recently and applying the Steam Machines principle better. Steam Machines plays an increasingly important role in creation processes of a 3D configurator. [...]
