Here’s a quandry. How many supplier-certified parts and assemblies do you need to make your 3D viewing experience via the web worth it? What if you could not only view those models, but integrate them into your design, right in the browser? That’s the next step Sunglass.io has taken, teaming up with CADENAS parts management [...]
Dimly lit and and starkly grand, the peanut thief perched atop my hand. “Where will we go?” Its wings would say, like two old ladies pining away. Pining away for better days and sweet rum raisins that hold these links. Giampaolo Miraglia – It’s geometric illustration taken to another level. The level of awesome captured [...]

Every few years we undergo a redesign of our logos and certificate backgrounds which is done to keep them looking fresh. This week we released the latest version of both the certification logos, and the certificate backgrounds.
New logos are avilable to everyone that has passed one of our certification exams, and the new style backgrounds are available to those who have passed a certification exam in the last year or so. See the attached document that explains how you can download these new items. In the meantime, here are some smaple shots of the new designs:
Nearly a month to the date since they announced the ‘full-color’ desktop 3D printer, botObjects has published new details on their ProDesk3D printer, including specifications, pricing and images. The whole product launch is awash with skepticism from industry insiders due to a lack of physical prints, unrendered product shots, video or detail on how they’re [...]

Le maillage coque (ou surfacique) consiste à mailler uniquement la surface de la pièce à l?aide de triangles, comme représenté ci-dessous. Le maillage volumique permet, [...]
While the majority of us may find happiness in 3D prints based off of complicated geometry, there is still a population out there that would love to turn a simple 2D drawing into an extruded shape (cookie cutters anybody?). While the 3D printing market has expanded into 3D print pens and other novelties, the ease [...]
For those used to cycling on busy city streets (NYC comes to mind), the need for swift reaction times could be compared to that of catching a fly with your bare hand. With maniac cab drivers and aloof SUV drivers running up and down Broadway, sometimes a simple hand signal doesn?t do the trick…especially at [...]
Raise of filament rolls in the room–who thinks they can open up a website that allows you to 1) download 3D printable files and 2) upload your own to make some cold, hard cash? I know, you’re thinking, “Egad, what is this genius!? The like has yet been seen!” The reality is there are a [...]
Invented just one year after the invention of Scotch tape in 1930, the tape dispenser is a unique package design-tool hybrid that can be found in just about every household. Due to the frustration of finding the loose end of tape on a roll, 3M Engineer John A. Borden invented the serrated-edge dispenser to keep [...]
