Are you looking for ways to design new products in your business using 3D Prototyping?

https://www.sketchup4architect.com/3d-prototyping.html

Iteration may take weeks or even months using conventional prototyping methods, such as injection molding and mockups. As soon as the prototype has been completed, every revision will require the same amount of work. You should also keep in mind that the expenses for each unit quickly add up. Traditionally, prototyping a product design is a lengthy process, but additive manufacturing methods can significantly reduce the time and budget.

Importance of 3D Printing Prototypes

Prototyping rarely requires making just one model because a prototype is actually a work in progress and an early version of a product that needs changes. Until the method is nearly identical to the final product, it frequently takes several iterations.

I think it’s quite amazing how my quality of life has instantly improved TENFOLD now that i don’t have to come up with words anymore and can finally sing again while I’m working.

Music really is something else…

a fun pro tip is that if an online storefront has a "3D preview" of an object you can probably grab it as a glb file and throw it into blender with perfect scaling, full textures, and detailed dimensions that you can then pull off for other projects (or, like, I've seen people straight up dump Ikea furniture into blender scenes for animations)

I want to add some printed parts to this keyboard and here's a perfect to-scale model I can reference and use to do boolean operations with to make my parts fit, even on complex curves

Hey you fucks, it's time to learn CAD. This is your sign, there will be no right time. Open a cad program and start making. Do it now. Then send me ur models and I'll print them and put them on my fridge like the crayon drawings of our youth.

Fusion and OnShape have free versions, if you're a college student you may be able to get the most common CAD programs free while you're in school, either way, get to work.

Post inspired by @genderneutralhole 's d6 which is currently taped to my fridge

BRIO car ferry for my ~7yo cousin, so he can muck about with toy trains in the tub. Hopefully it prints nicely.

I got bored and just... made a 3D model of an office chair (the cube is 1x1x1m). If anyone has tips on how to make a cusion for the seat and the back, let me know.

friendly reminder that when Sidious / Palpatine hired Cad Bane to do what is ostensibly the most ambitious job in his career, he just started listing the specs for his dream ship completely unprompted

Want to build your own Piano Coat Rack?

I put together some plans for the Piano Coat Rack so that if anyone else wants to try to make one they have a starting point. I ended up putting them on itch.io for free since tumblr doesn't really like PDFs or zip files. The plans are free for non-commercial use. I also have a section describing some of the process to hopefully make it fairly easy to replicate.

I put these plans together in FreeCad, so along with a PDF version of the technical drawings there are also full 3D models that you can use to get a better understanding of how it goes together. If you notice any oddities or mistakes or have any question please just me up!

Also if you make one please tag me, I would love to see it!

I should abuse the fact my college gives me access to 3D Studio Max more... I should learn it more...

Best BIM Tools in 2025 and Selecting the Right BIM Software

BIM is a comprehensive approach in the AEC realm, and its applications and tools hold a significant position. It is vital to choose the right BIM software for project requirements, coordination, and efficiency. Here’s a detailed, curated list of the best BIM software and key factors for selecting it.

Fanart (…model?) of @mossthewizard 's Moss Wizard!

I made this in Autodesk Inventor, which is absolutely not designed to make models like this (curves and such). It was a fun challenge!

Most of the sketches, plus all of the planes (ignore the unconstrained lines, it's fine). I mostly made the model out of lofts with rails, mirrors, and revolutions.

This is what my screen looks like!

Plus a GIF, and the moss wizard if she was instead a sentient chunk of zinc.

I'm not the greatest at drawing, but I'm pretty good at CAD :)
