3D Modeling Applications for 3D Printing | Inside3DP 3D printing has many applications and artistic expression is one of its finest uses today. Now, the question is what applications should one use to make art with 3D printing? CAD is not always the best choice. Here are a few good choices to utilize 3D printing for artistic expression. Modo by The Foundry, formally known as Luxology A polygonal modeler is one of the older forms of making 3D content. They also have multi-resolution sculpting which allows for clay-like modeling. Modo works with popular file formats such as OBJ and STL. ZBrush by Pixologic ZBrush is a polygonal application, but operates in a very different way from Modo. It has been used in many industries even before 3D printing, from art to games and movies all the way to industrial design. Now with the advent of 3D printing, ZBrush has found another great use. The only major issue with ZBrush is its rather unconventional interface. Blender’s major issue is, as with zBrush, it has an unconventional interface.

Migbot Prusa i3 Unofficial Support Thread You know how the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for." The Migbot Prusa i3 is one of those ridiculously inexpensive 3DPs coming from China. It has a few good things going for it. Technical support is not one of them There is no B.O.M. per se. Marlin Configuration In the next message, I have posted the Configuration.h from the vendor supplied firmware. I do not own this printer model, but I have been providing support to a friend half way across the planet, so I have learned a lot about it in a very short amount of time. Experimenting with Repetier Firmware For any of you feeling adventurous, I have also provided a .json file that can be used to load initial settings into the Repetier Firmware Configuration Tool. Here is some of the information I need: 1. Edited 3 time(s). [www.thingiverse.com] [reprap.org] [reprap.org] Attachments:open | download - config (Migbot Prusa i3).json (11.8 KB)

Entretenir son imprimante 3D, c'est important ! - DAGOMA - BLOG IMPRESSION 3D Entretenir son imprimante 3D, c’est important. Vous êtes nombreux à nous demander comment faire, et vous avez raison : plus vous la bichonnerez, meilleures seront vos impressions 3D. Soignez votre plateau en aluminium et votre surface d’accroche : La première chose à faire pour entretenir son imprimante 3D, et ce avant chaque impression, c’est de nettoyer le plateau de l’imprimante 3D. Veillez à ce que la surface d’accroche (scotch ou BuildTak) soit toujours propre, non grasse. Nettoyez votre Buildtak avec un peu d’alcool à 90° Nettoyez régulièrement plateau en aluminium avec de l’alcool à 90° (pour les résidus de colle). Les impressions se multipliant, et votre surface d’accroche finira tout de même par s’altérer, se trouer. Surveillez courroies et poulies : Au lancement de l’impression, un geste tout simple à faire est de passer de temps en temps un chiffon ou une petite brosse (à dents par exemple) sur les courroies. Cela permet aussi de vérifier qu’elles sont tendues et bien alignées.
An eagle without a beak got a new one that was printed just for her. I have a story to tell you. It gets sad, but then it has a happy and hopeful ending. I hope you're in for it! Once upon a time... ...there was an eagle named Beauty. She lived in northern Idaho and spent her time being all eagle-y in the forest, probably doing something majestic like this: This is a different eagle, but you get the idea. There was also an evil hunter in the same forest. (Here comes the sad part) ...shot Beauty in the face. But wait, that's not the end of the story! Because of Beauty's horrible mishap, she lost most of her beak. Did you know that beak reconstruction is a thing? A designer and a dentist (yes, a dentist) heard about Beauty's predicament. ...beauty now had a beak. Cue Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson! (It's a silly pun, I know, but it's been stuck in my head since I started writing this, so now you must enjoy those smooth '90s sounds with me.)
Principles of Art & Design Archives - The 3Doodler EDU Based upon New York City’s Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in the Arts, these lessons allow students to get hands-on to explore the principles of art and design. Principles of Art & Design 1: Elements Use the 3Doodler to create a Line, Shape, and Form and properly describe the process of creating these Elements to come to a better understanding of their use in art. Download Principles of Art & Design Principles of Art & Design 2: Repetition Identify repetition in works of art, both obvious and subtle while interpreting the effect. Principles of Art & Design 3: Pattern The goal of this lesson is to recognize and describe what qualities are necessary to make a pattern, and how negative space works in a pattern to create additional forms buy using the shapes from the Repetition activity. Principals of Art & Design 4: Texture Learn how texture can be used in art and where artists glean their inspiration by using the 3Doodler to create artwork that mimics textures found in nature.
MakerBot Launches Hands-On Learning Guide For 3D Printing In The Classroom MakerBot Launches Hands-On Learning Guide For 3D Printing In The Classroom by TeachThought Staff New MakerBot Handbook Helps Educators and Students Get Started with Lesson Plans and Hands-on 3D Design Projects BROOKLYN, N.Y., –Thousands of educators throughout the U.S. are embracing 3D printing as a new way to teach 21st century skills and prepare students for the jobs of the future[1]. Taking the first steps to introduce students to 3D printing, however, can be challenging. MakerBot, a global leader in the desktop 3D printing industry, conducted in-depth research this spring to better understand how to help educators incorporate 3D printing in classrooms[2]. To fill that gap, MakerBot today published a handbook designed to provide educators with a wide variety of ideas, activities and projects to get started with 3D printing. For example, Make Your Own Country is a project that casts students as explorers of a new world. About MakerBot MakerBot, a subsidiary of Stratasys Ltd.
