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 ...

CAD model retrieval and design reuse constitute a critical research area in engineering, where the efficient recovery of relevant design data from extensive libraries can notably reduce development ...

One of the best things about external cloud computing resources is that it makes accessing resources to run compute-intensive applications more affordable. The downside is that approach can introduce ...

Why GPU memorymatters for CAD,viz and AI. Even the fastest GPU can stall if it runs out of memory. CAD, BIM visualisation, and AI workflows often demand more than you think, and it all adds up when ...

When Sixense previewed MakeVR, its immersive 3D-modeling platform, a couple years ago, we were impressed. Equipped with Sixense’s proprietary hardware, we could make CAD models from within a virtual ...

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 ...

Whether it’s engineering or game design, 3d modeling and CAD work has become very big in the past few years, especially with a lot of folks starting to do it at home for things like 3D printer files.
