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 ...

Migrating from 2D to 3D CAD takes time but the payback is worth it. 3D CAD models provide a wide array of information about a product. The transition from 2D CAD to 3D CAD is not just another software ...

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.

Apple is always talking about how many professions increasingly rely on the iPad for work, and developers Onshape have just added another: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) modelers. Onshape’s new app lets ...

Considering all of the projects the Raspberry Pi is used for now, the fact that it was originally envisioned to be an educational tool is sometimes forgotten. One of the tools commonly available with ...
