3D Design Software 101 While MakerBot operators are more than happy to print the tens of thousands of incredible objects posted to Thingiverse, eventually many want to get started designing models of their own. Your mission: to create a solid, manifold (watertight) STL-formatted file for importing into MakerWare or ReplicatorG. STL is the most widely used format for stereolithographic CAD files, so the design application options are vast. ReplicatorG also offers experimental file import capability for OBJ and Collada, two other widely used formats, although the files are then converted to STL, and MakerWare supports OBJ as well as STL. You can also download 3D swiss army knife tools like MeshLab and netfabb Studio Basic, which can open dozens of different file formats and export them as binary or ASCII STL files, opening up even more models to ReplicatorG. The 3D design field expands quickly, and a tremendous range of new tools and techniques are constantly being created for every platform, so we rely on MakerBot Operators to report back and let us know about their favorite new apps, scripts and plugins, and how they're using them to make the work they're doing with their Makerbots more successful and rewarding. Below are a few of the options we're familiar with. Choosing your HammerTo get started building a model, you'll need some good tools. There are lots of powerful, free, and open source design tools to choose from. Our favorites include 3dtin.com, Tinkercad.com, Sketchup, OpenSCAD, Wings3D, Scupltris, Autodesk 123D, and the outstanding, open source Blender project. And not everyone uses traditional 3D modeling software -- some of the most sophisticated organic and procedural models on Thingiverse were created using scripts and plugins created for programming environments and other applications. Marius Watz’s ModelBuilder library and Guru’s CookieCutter-Editor are popular examples of the incredible diversity of tools developed for 3D printing using the programming language Processing. Kyle McDonald has been developing software and pipelines for rapid 3D scanning with an off-the-shelf Microsoft Kinect via KinectToSTL created in openFrameworks. Marty McGuire’s Inkscape-Openscad-Poly tool lets you use a 2D illustration tool -- in this case, the mature open source app Inkscape -- to lean on the parametric design tool OpenSCAD to create 3D models. There are lots of commercial solid CAD, modeling, and sculpting apps: Rhino, LightWave, Cinema4D, Autocad, Inventor, Maya, 3DS Max, Mudbox, Creo, Modo, ZBrush, Mathematica, and SolidWorks are probably the biggest players in the field. The cost for licensing the pricier applications from this list tends to require that you build a business around a set suite of tools, but the trade-offs for optimized workflow, professional grade rendering and effects, and seamless pipeline from app-to-app are worth it to many users. But there's no need to spend upwards of $1k on design software. Every month new and more affordable 3D CAD, modeling, scanning and sculpting applications emerge for every platform, including iOS and Android. Try the inexpensive Alibre Personal Edition, Cheetah3D (mac only), and bonzai3d, for starters. Mac users can apply for the popular Rhino beta for free (for a limited time), after which pricing is rumored to be very competitive. |
