3D product design has entered a new era; have you ever had an idea for a way to improve a product that you use? With cad, cam, autocad design software and 3D printing technology, it is now possible. Every year sees advancements in the capabilities of 3D printing design software and 3D printers.
A 3D printing leader has been awarded the Red Dot Award, one of the highest and most prestigious honors for product design and innovation in the world. The latest-model 3D printers allow printing of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties simultaneously. It is an irony perhaps that a 3D printer, which is produced to help other companies create new product designs, has in fact been the recipient of a design award, for one of its latest 3D printing machines.
A jury of renowned designers and design experts chose from 3,200 entries from over 50 countries and selected the Connex500™ as recipient of the honor.
Now graphic designers and architectural designers are able to quickly see their virtual creations in a 3D model, created with advanced 3D printers. Nothing aids the design process more than being able to hold your virtual creation in your hands. 3D Designers can now produce tangible model of their concepts. This 3d design process gives the designer a quick and affordable way to convey design to clients, and tremendously reduces the final cost and delivery time of a 3D design project.
3D mechanical designs are commonly used for 3D printing jobs; there are many cad cam 3D design solutions on the market, like Google’s own Sketchup software, 3d modeling software that you can use to create, export and present 3D models. Now, virtually anyone can create a 3D model! Now 3D printing and design software is becoming more and more commonplace. Anyone can learn to use these simple 3D design programs and then send them out to a 3D printing company who will then print a solid 3D prototype of the design.
3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that closely emulate the look, feel and functionality of product prototypes.
The Red Dot award will be awarded in June, 2008 at the Red Dot Awards Gala, in Germany among an estimated 1,200 guests from the fields of design, arts and business.
More and more business users will be printing their imagination into true-to-life 3D models.
