For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

For decades, computer-aided design (CAD) has been the cornerstone of modern engineering. Yet much of the workflow still relies on manual repetition, rigid processes and human interpretation. Engineers ...

In some ways, it's the CAD industry's version of thoseage-old debates, like the one over Coke vs. Pepsi, or republican vs. democrat.As the discourse heats up over the merits of traditional parametric, ...

Software is eating another part of the world. (Or at least the next generation of software is eating the older 1970s-era kind.) Sunglass, which is coming out of beta today at TechCrunch Disrupt New ...

It’s very early days for CAD Sketcher, a new parametric CAD add-on for Blender by [hlorus], but it looks very promising. We do a lot of 3D work and like Blender as an environment. It’s always annoying ...

Valve published Steam Controller STL and STP files, giving modders and accessory makers official hardware dimensions.

Use AutoCAD's "Extrude" and "Revolve" commands to turn 2-D designs into 3-D models. "Extrude" is how 3-D modelers to refer to the technique of stretching a 2-D shape into 3-D space. AutoCAD performs ...
