Here you will find content with a focus on 3D software.
Currently there is more slicing software (very important to create a 3D configurator) than ever before, but a few solutions stand out from the crowd. We will focus on two of them today. Cura is one of the best-known and most widely used slicing software packages, and because it has a user-friendly interface and is [...]
In this paper, we present a practical study on how SOLIDWORKS performance (ideal software to create 3D configurators) is optimized by hardware and settings. Three years ago, Josh Altergott and Adrian Fanroy of Computer Aided Technology, Inc. (CATI) have written an excellent paper on maximizing SOLIDWORKS performance [...]
When it comes to developing games for mobile devices, graphics APIs (important in 3D configurators projects) like OpenGL and Apple`s Metal have become the gold standard. These APIs connect the hardware of mobile devices such as GPUs to the software and enable resource-intensive graphics playback to bring complex games and animations to life. [...]
In the following article we will introduce two new products (well-suited to use in 3D configurator process) to accelerate the development of Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) on Android. ViroCore - a SceneKit equivalent for Android that enables native AR/VR development with Java. ViroReact - adds ARCore support for ViroReact. Developers can now build [...]
SpriteKit is, at least for me, one of the most remarkable libraries in Cocoa (very useful in 3D configurator processes). It makes the 2D feeling easy and often delivers very good results with little effort. In this article we will break down the components of SpriteKit and give you a short introduction. [...]
3D Modelling Software is numerous, and each sector, each project, needs specific modelling tools (the right choice of 3D modeling software in 3D configurator projects is very important). In this article, we will help you choose software for your automobile projects. Indeed, the automotive sector benefits more and more from 3D printing, but to [...]
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. [...]
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. [...]
PlayCanvas (well suited for the creation of 3D configurators) is any 3D WebGL game engine originally developed by Will Eastcott and Dave Evans. It is open source available on GitHub, with an online editor and good documentation. The online editor can be used free of charge for public projects with up to two team [...]
