For fabrication, a 3D STEP file would be more useful than a 2D centerline sketch. Export as STEP AP214, and you can include ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

A machine learning tool developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) could potentially allow beginner and professional designers to create 3D virtual models of ...

Designers can move easily between drawing in a virtual-reality environment and on their tablet using the latest update to Gravity Sketch. The Surface Tool feature is contained in version 6.1 of the ...

There's more fun coming our way on the 3D printing news front, as The Netherlands-based tech company FabLab Amersfoort has developed a new device that serves as a sketching tool for creating a ...

Thanks to the influx of mobile tablets like the iPad, 2D sketch tools and industrial design capabilities are suddenly hot. So hot that Dassault Systemes just added a new 3D sketch tool to its CAD and ...

Pencil is a very realistic sketching program and good 2D animation tool for the cost (free). Think of Pencil (free) as an animator’s digital sketchbook. It’s 2D; you can sketch things very well, then ...
