You can now use 3DVIA to print a real 3D model of your uploaded content through our partnership with 3D printing site, Sculpteo.com . It’s easy. Simply click the “Send to Sculpteo 3D Print” button on the view page of your own 3DVIA models and follow the instructions. Our friends over at Sculpteo will take care of the rest, including analyzing your 3D model to ensure the best print result possible. What Can Be 3D Printed Through 3DVIA.com and Sculpteo? I give you “ The Mush ”! You can see the before and after photos above of the 3D Model from CATIA and the resulting REAL 3D print of this innovative product. How to create 3D print-ready designs As mentioned, simply upload your 3D model in any of the formats that 3DVIA.com supports and click the “Send to Sculpteo 3D Print” button on the view page of your 3DVIA model. You imagined it. Tagged as: 3D , 3D model , 3D Print , Sculpteo
3D print service Inventor Studios is hosting a pioneering new summer course for middle and high school students introducing them to 3D object design, digital scanning and 3D printing. Held at the Head-Royce School in Oakland, 6 – 12 grade students will be getting first-hand experience with the printing process, as well as making 3D scans of real-life objects. There are two openings available : 3D Printing Lab Instructors – capable 3D modelers with some teaching and/or mentoring experience 3D Printing Intern Instructors- capable 3D modelers with no previous teaching experience. If this sounds like you, and you live in the SF Bay Area, download the job description for more information including course description, job responsibilities and how to apply. Qualified applicants should contact Bob Krause, Chief Inventor at Inventor Studios.

SIGGRAPH Asia), December 2012 Chopper partitions a given 3D model into parts that are small enough to be 3D-printed and assembled into the original model. 3D printing technology is rapidly maturing and becoming ubiquitous.

PDF file (17MB) Make It Stand: balancing shapes for 3D printing Jul.25, 2013 With the advent of 3D printing technologies, it becomes very simple to produce 3D physical models. Unfortunately, because there is usually no indication of gravity, support or weight in a 3D modeler, 3D printed models often fail to balance, making it mandatory to glue the printed objects onto a heavy pedestal. The authors of Make It Stand want to assist users in modifying existing 3D models to create novel, balanced designs. "Using our approach, the user interactively edits a shape and cooperates with our optimizer towards the final result. "The input to our algorithm is a surface mesh representing a solid object, a number of desired contact points and the desired orientation (i.e., gravity direction). (left) The original horse model does not stand on its hind legs and requires using the tail as a third support. The optimizer deforms and carves the model (yellow region visible by transparency) to precisely position the center of mass.
