Model for a closed, manifold and correctly shelled mesh If your plan is to get your hands on an object you designed through Sculpteo’s 3d printing program, you need to produce a 3D mesh file and export it in any of the acceptable formats, usually a .stl file. Mesh files are not necessarily used for 3D…

In this tutorial, we’d like to underline to Autodesk Inventor users, some specifics of the CAD software that is better to keep in mind when modeling for 3D Printing. In this tutorial, you will learn the best practices for modeling, correcting and exporting an object for 3D printing using Autodesk Inventor. At the end of…

Personally, I love designing complicated assemblies, but when it comes to creating a manufacturing drawing, a small piece of me dies inside. Luckily, CAD tools have aided in this process starting with the glory days of AutoCAD to a slew of 3D CAD applications today. Unfortunately, when Fusion 360 released its drawing capabilities, we missed…

3D modeling software is now an essential tool for a lot of industries. Engineers and designers are actually making the most of these advanced software tools, useful for many applications, from simulation to manufacturing. We have already made CAD software selections for many diverse applications on the blog. In this blog post, we are going to focus…

Mechanical engineering and design software helps engineers and designers visualise, analyse and communicate design intent before building a physical prototype. Mechanical engineering software is employed across an array of disciplines, from manufacturing (US site) and architecture (US site) to sustainability. It is used to design everything from cars to prosthetics to headphones. Types of mechanical engineering and design software Computer-aided…
