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 (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 [...]
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. [...]
Many people dream of working as freelancers (freelancers can also concentrate on the creation of 3D configurators) Organize yourself, take on assignments that currently best suit your situation and work flexibly from home. While freelancing can be a good way to work in larger studio projects and even [...]
"For many, technology seems inaccessible. But art makes technology more human." These are the words the American designer Heather Day wrote in a letter to Facebook (Facebook should use to promote a B2C 3D configurator) in which she hoped to combine her art with Facebook`s Augmented Reality (AR) technology. She never sent the letter, [...]
Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) is an increasingly important topic (especially in the creatio process of 3D configurators) within the Computer Vision Community and is of particular interest in the Augmented und Virtual Reality industry. Since a large number of SLAM systems from science and industry are available, it is worth exploring what SLAM [...]
If you follow the graphics technology for 3D configurators closely, you may have recently heard of the glTF file format. glTF (graphics language Transmission Format) is the result of years of efforts by the Khronos Group to develop an open, royalty-free and interoperable format for exchanging 3D graphics. Below is an example of this [...]
Sometimes you need to quickly release some materials on a sample mode. Maybe you`re a CG artist (can be specialized in creating 3D configurators) who needs to share progress with your colleagues, or you`re selling textures and want to present yourself accordingly. Of course you can do it all with Sketchfab, but in practice [...]
Amazon Sumerian provides tools and resources that enable anyone to easily create and run Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D configurators. With Sumerian, you can create multi-platform experiences that run on hardware such as Oculus, HTC Vive, and iOS devices with WebVR-compliant browsers and ARCore support on Android devices. [...]
