Les logiciels de modélisation et les imprimantes 3D sont de plus en plus accessibles
L’impression 3D a ces dernières années séduit les industriels et les artisans mais pas uniquement. Monsieur tout le monde peut, en investissant dans une imprimante 3D personnelle, fabriquer soi-même ses objets grâce à des plans numériques préétablis ou originaux sur des logiciels de CAO. D’ailleurs les prix des imprimantes 3D continuent de chuter, une baisse qui va de pair avec l’arrivée des imprimantes de nouvelle génération (plus petites, mobiles et compatibles avec les smartphones). Il y a de quoi raviver l'intérêt du grand public pour cette technologie qui s'immisce petit à petit dans notre vie quotidienne (impression de prothèses, de jouets, de bijoux et autres accessoires). L’impression 3D se démocratise lentement Les ventes d'imprimantes 3D ont grimpé de 33 % en 2015 ! Et si tout le monde n'est pas prêt à investir une centaine d'euros pour cette technologie (le besoin étant plutôt ponctuel), elle se démocratise lentement mais sûrement, grâce aux services.
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. 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. Best free modeler out their today is Blender, which is an open source project with a large community.

Gesture Drawing with Alex Woo The top artists at the top studio never stop learning. But have you ever wondered who teaches them? Award-winning story artist, Alex Woo, does. In this incredible, eye-opening course, Alex will break down the fundamentals of gesture drawing into 7 foundational topics. "Gesture Drawing with Alex Woo" consists of 8 lectures presented over 12 weeks. Lesson Plan Watch Preview Lesson 1 - Line of Action The line of action is the foundation upon which you will build the rest of your drawing. Lesson 2 - Shape Shape will help you determine the overall feel and dynamics of your drawing. Lesson 3 - Silhouette Creating a strong silhouette will enhance your drawing's "readability". Lesson 4 - Space Using space will help give your drawings depth, and make them feel grounded in a physical reality. Lesson 5 - Exaggeration Lesson 6 - Extrapolation Extrapolation is the process by which you "read between the lines" and see beyond what is there. Lesson 7 - Story Lesson 8 - Final Review
How 3-D Printing in Silver Really Works--How to Print 3-D Objects in Pure Silver
3-D printing company Shapeways can now print items in silver--or almost, anyway. I needed to get some clarification as to how that could really work, and Shapeways has kindly provided an in-depth look at how this process works. If you've got any interest in printing out your own 3-D silver jewelry, read on and find out what goes on behind the scenes. Thanks to Shapeways for the following, very interesting description of how the process works. "Shapeways enables people to design custom objects in silver by printing a wax model layer by layer, then using the wax model to cast in silver. After the model is finished, the support material is dissolved in heated oil.

8 Steps On How To Design And 3D Print Jewelry — LucasPlus Jewelry by Lucas Goossens
Listed below are 8 steps on how to create your own jewelry using only your computer, a free 3D design program, and the help of a 3D printing company. This list is essentially the guideline to how I made my LucasPlus jewelry line. 1. It's the 3D design program I've been using for the past few years because of its easy learning curve. 2. Before anything else, start searching for "Sketchup for beginners", "Sketchup basics", "How to design ..... in Sketchup" etc. 3. Do you have a favorite symbol? The most important thing is to have fun. When first opening Sketchup, it'll ask you what template you want to work in, whether you want to work in large scale like meters, or smaller scale inches and millimeters. Before you start designing, it's vital to know what the maximum bounding box, minimum wall thickness, minimum wire diameter, and minimum clearance for the material you want to produce. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask me a question in the comments below.
Tutoriel OpenSCAD 1 – Introduction | reprapide.francois-delegue.fr
Page suivante : Allons-y pour voir ! OpenSCAD est un logiciel libre de dessin 3D paramétrique, c’est à dire que les objets sont dessinés par les commandes d’un langage de programmation. C’est le logiciel de dessin le plus utilisé dans le monde de la RepRap. Cette série de tutoriaux (tutoriels ? Le manuel de référence est en anglais : OpenSCAD User Manual. Interface utilisateur La fenêtre d’OpenSCAD est extrêmement simple – la complexité éventuelle est dans le code dessinant les objets – et comporte trois parties : à gauche une zone d’édition où est saisi le code « source » dessinant l’objet, à droite une zone de visualisation de l’objet, en bas à droite une console d’affichage d’informations (messages d’erreur, de fin de rendu etc.) Dessin en trois étapes Dans le menu Conception, trois commandes correspondent aux trois étapes du dessin d’un objet, dont la dernière est l’exportation au format STL utilisé en impression 3D par les logiciels d’écriture du Gcode : Axes X, Y et Z 1er essai
