Sunglass. Sunglass Takes Its Browser-Based 3D Modelling Platform Out Of Beta, Keys In On Communication. Sunglass, a company that made its private beta debut back at TechCrunch Disrupt New York, is announcing its official, wide public launch today.
The startup provides a web-based tool for sharing and collaborating on 3D models created in a number of CAD programs, including SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor and SketchUp, and this latest release adds new features designed to improve the communication layer for projects. CEO and co-founder Kaustuv DeBiswas described Sunglass as “Google Docs for 3D objects” when he spoke to Kim-Mai Cutler at TC Disrupt NY. Essentially, it allows designers and manufacturers to quickly and easily come together and work on projects together in real-time, without requiring that each have the same or any specialized software installed. Think about what PDFs did for online document sharing: that’s what Sunglass is attempting to do, now with the added benefit of direct communication tools.
Blokify 3D Modeling Software. Last month, at World Maker Faire New York‘s 3D Printer Village, I had the pleasure of meeting two enthusiastic, bright makers, Jenny Kortina and Brett Cupta, who were sharing their brand new creation with the community: Blokify.
Their custom block-based 3D modeling software makes it easy for folks, especially kids, to build object models, which they can then send directly to a home 3D printer or get printed through Blokify’s service. Giving kids easy access to designing and printing their own toys has great impact on creative potential. I was impressed with their clean, slick, approachable interface, and they had a steady stream of engaged Fairegoers interacting with their displays all weekend long. We chatted with Jenny to find out more. 1. When I was walking around the the tent where you buy stuff at Maker Faire New York 2012, I bumped into Brook Drumm and the Printrbot Jr.
Once I had the Rep it was time to start to learn how to model. Kinect2Scratch 2.5. Reconstruct your world with ReconstructMe. Blender 2.67 RC1 and DVD Training Blender for 3D Printing Released. April 28, 2013 Open-source 3D creation suite Blender has released the first Release Candidate of Blender 2.67.
Major improvements are the inclusion of FreeStyle, subsurface scattering for Cycles, optimizations in the motion tracker and the new 3D printing toolkit. The new 3D printing toolkit is a collection of useful tools including statistics, error checking, cleanup and export, to make it easier to export models for 3D printing. Statistics: The volume of the mesh and the combined area of all faces are calculated. Checks: models are checked for common errors such as self-intersections, distorted faces, or walls and sharp area that are too thin to be printed, or steeply overhanging to print safely. example of intersecting meshes Twisted faces often distort Example mesh with thin areas Example of overhanging faces that exceed 45 degrees Clean: isolated faces, edges vertices and distorted faces are removed before the model is exported for 3D printing.
The Rails Initialization Process. This guide goes through every method call that is required to boot up the Ruby on Rails stack for a default Rails 4 application, explaining each part in detail along the way.
For this guide, we will be focusing on what happens when you execute rails server to boot your app. Paths in this guide are relative to Rails or a Rails application unless otherwise specified. If you want to follow along while browsing the Rails source code, we recommend that you use the t key binding to open the file finder inside GitHub and find files quickly. 1 Launch! Let's start to boot and initialize the app. 1.1 railties/bin/rails The rails in the command rails server is a ruby executable in your load path.
If you try out this command in a Rails console, you would see that this loads railties/bin/rails. The file railties/lib/rails/cli in turn calls Rails::AppRailsLoader.exec_app_rails. Www.designworldonline.com/software-helps-you-design-for-3d-printing-manufacturability/ When used together, 3D printing and topology optimization can deliver objects with minimum mass, which will save money in raw materials.
Inspire brings the power of topology optimization to a new audience by applying algorithms previously only used in engineering simulation departments. By using these algorithms to generate optimal solutions, design cycle time, material consumption, and product weight are all reduced. Topology optimization and additive manufacturing are two techniques that together have the potential to help you create a new generation of exciting products. While additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is widely used by product development organizations to create prototypes from digital models, topology optimization has been restricted to companies with extensive CAE resources, such as automotive and aerospace manufacturers.
The promise of marrying these techniques is not just theoretical. Elegant solutions So what is topology optimization? Faster concepts. Farmigo. Processing.org. Welcome to web.py! (web.py)
