Open Source Projects Weigh into 3D Printing

Posted By Alexia Toulmet on Nov 12, 2014

Open Source projects are all the rage nowadays, just like 3D Printing. OpenQCM is the first scientific scale, to fully utilize the open source revolution.

Sculpteo Tools: Repair your 3D files with Sculpteo

Posted By Arthur Cassaignau on Nov 5, 2014

3D Printing works with 3D files. That’s stating the obvious. However every 3D file is not printable in 3D. Some software is directly programed to export printable 3D files without having to know tricks to make closed volumes, but most of the software out there isn’t particularly “user-friendly” when it comes to creating a printable 3D file. Any error on the file would make it non-printable. To help you with...
