Autodesk introduced Meshmixer 3.0 with multi-material 3D Printing

Autodesk just launched the most updated version of its Meshmixer 3D mesh software alias Meshmixer 3.0. This newest software contains an innovative “complex objects” feature that facilitates the users to generate 3D models for multi-material 3D printing. This will help in producing multi-part 3D printed designs through multi-material 3D printers.

There is also a “complex objects” feature to manage as well as examine 3D models in a totally new system. With Meshmixer, it now becomes easier for the users to choose internal regions of a 3D model and handle them as individual parts of the identical object. These individual parts can be modified in particular ways by keeping the shape of the complete object intact.

With Complex objects in Meshmixer 3.0, the users can get rid of the issue maintaining an assembly of individual parts. Besides, the software will automate the process for deriving the multi-material breakdown of a 3D model on the basis of the markup of the surface. This new feature will provide support for printing with multi-material 3D printers like as the Stratasys Object Connex.

Meshmixer 3.0 allows the users to arrange subsets of mesh points into collections known as complexes and then assign various materials to those complexes.

There are also new features for users who deal with laser cutters. As for instance, the new “Unwrap” tool can smooth 3D surface patches into their constituent 2D faces—most suitable for Ikea imitators. These smoothed patches are exportable as SVG files which can then be delivered to a printer or laser cutter.

The scaling of a 3D model can also be performed in a new method with the “Units/Dimensions” tool. The users will be able to able to put in any recognized measurements of specific regions of a 3D model, and the software can estimate the exact measurements of other regions. This feature is ideal for working with photogrammetry projects.

Meshmixer 3.0 was unveiled on January 19 by Ryan Schmidt of Autodesk Research at SIGGraph 2016, a conference held by the Association for Computing Machinery for the Special Interest Group on computer Graphics. It is free to download for Windows, OSX and Linux.

Meshmixer 3.0 is compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux platform and the users can download it from the following link. Meshmixer 3.0

3D Printed Jewellery Collection for Men only

You can find it in the market now. Earlier we have heard about 3D printed jewellery. But those were all for women. This time it is for men have some of those collections with the attires.

The Cafe Costume and designer pair DAMN and Twikit has created 3D printed Jewellery. They were encouraged by Kunstwerkstede De Coene’s work.

‘De Coene’ is famous for making the 3D printed cufflinks.

The artists - Caroline and Kim, from DAMN were enthralled to witness the work of De Coene. He has conventional nature work on wood.

Here the Business World Fair was the ultimate place for getting the out-of-the-box concept for those designers. The expo was the platform for many budding designers.

The design procedure and the result were come fourth during the Courtrai Interior Biennale 2014 at both Ventura and in the Café Costume shop on the Leiestraat.

A high-quality co-operation needed between DAMN and Café Costume for execution those jointly doing this assignment. Twikit here provides the technology of 3D customization. There is an easy to use option to place the choice of the designer’s material likings such as silver or brass. Hit to the cafecostume.twikit.com for your best options.

Win prizes worth more than $7000 by participating 3D Robot Challenge

To cope up with the increasing demand for robotics technology, CGTrader.com is going to organize a 3D Robot Challenge for its community comprising more than 120,000 3D designers to facilitate designing and visualizing the robots of the next generation.

Under this 3d robot challenge, all the participating designers will have to walk around the sci-fi theme by means of the highly developed technological creatures in the form of our neighbours, counterparts as well as enemies in the next decades.

The participants have to generate robot 3D models and upload them to CGTrader.com. Submitted model should belong to best 3d robot model and best 3d robot portfolio. The designers, who will submit more models in the best 3d robot portfolio, will get the chance to be declared as winner. There will be one winner and two runner-ups in each category.

The challenge will commence from the 22nd December 2014 and will continue upto 15th February 2015. There lots of prizes for winners which range from Motion Design Bundles by Video Copilot, iClone Animation Pipeline Toolkits by Reallusion, two KeyShot5 licenses by Luxion, one CGschool video from V-Ray or 3ds Max by CG School, 200 credits and promotional features by CGTrader. The runner-ups will get prizes like 3D Shader Bundles by Video Copilot, iClone5 PRO Bundles by Reallusion, Video of choice from V-Ray or 3ds Max classes by CG School and 100 credits by CGTrader.

The 3d robot challenge will be a great platform for 3d designers to showcase their creativity and imagination toward creating stunning robot models.

Presently, CGTrader is also conducting 3D Systems Art Challenge, 3D Architecture Challenge and 3D Printed Kids’ Toys Challenge, where designers get the ability to upload both paid and free 3D models.

Upload your models

How sketchup was utilized to create the world’s first ever 3d printed robotic parrot

Brian Matthews, the owner of Flapping Sprocket website, has developed world’s first ever 3d printed robotic parrot by applying the most recognized 3d drawing program sketchup for creating the design of all the parts of the parrot.

In order to get the view of a 3d parrot, Brian initially downloaded a drawn version from sketchup 3d warehouse. Afterwards, he put his downloaded model and makes a fresh start through sketching profile as well as front views of a parrot illustrated from web photos imported to sketchup. He also utilizes three leading plugins like .STL export, Fredo’s Junction push-pull, and TIG’s Smart Offset plugin to complete the project successfully.
