    3dSynth

    3dSynth

    3dSynth.app

    3dSynth is a generative 3D printing tool that creates G-code directly from mathematical rules instead of traditional 3D models. It completely bypasses the STL and slicer workflow, allowing users to generate printer-ready toolpaths straight from adjustable parameters. Every form is defined numerically, giving precise control over shape, texture, and structure in real time. Users can stack modular effects like ripples, blobs, noise, twists, and polygons to build complex organic or geometric surfaces. A real-time 3D preview shows the exact toolpath as it will be printed, helping catch issues before exporting. Spiral vase mode enables continuous Z printing for single-wall objects like vases and lampshades with translucent and sculptural effects. The final output is optimized G-code compatible with common FDM/FFF printers, ready to print without post-processing.

    Pleasant3D

    Pleasant3D

    Pleasant Software

    I frequently had the problem that downloaded STL files needed some minor editing in order to be printable on my 3D printer. Most of the time it was just a simple move to the center of the build platform or a resize. In addition to that, I already wrote OpenGL code to visualize STL and GCode files a couple of months ago for another larger project. Finally, I had sometimes a problem that I downloaded an ASCII encoded STL file and wanted to open the file in my 3D/CAD application. Since this application can only read binary STL files I needed an easy way to convert ASCII STL to binary STL. So I wrote Pleasant3D, a small utility that solves these problems and uses the above-mentioned visualization code to display STL and GCode files. This version implements better error checking in the Quicklook plugins and falls back to displaying the standard document icon if the Quicklook generation fails. That way quicklockd doesn't crash anymore in case of problems.

    JSCAD

    JSCAD is an open-source set of modular, browser, and command line tools for creating parametric 2D and 3D designs with Javascript code. It provides a quick, precise and reproducible method for generating 3D models, and is especially useful for 3D printing applications. There are different 'flavors' of JSCAD that you can use based on your needs. JSCAD is a solids modeling system. It is fundamentally unitless, however, when you export files, typically 1 unit in JSCAD corresponds to 1 millimeter in your model file. Modeling in JSCAD is often a case of building the shape you want out of primitives, but there are often many different options to get the same shape. Check out the examples on the JSCAD app's info menu to learn about the different capabilities. Booleans are one of the most important tools in the solid modeling toolkit. Many of the shapes that you will need to create on your journey can be created by joining, subtracting and intersecting simple shapes.

    CNC Software for Non-Machinists. MeshCAM is the fastest way to generate gcode. You have a simple goal, to take a CAD file and get your mill to cut it. You don’t want to become an expert on CAM software, you want parts today. MeshCAM is made for people who just want to make parts now. MeshCAM works with almost every 3D CAD program by opening the two most common 3D file formats, STL and DXF. If you just want to make 2D parts without using a 3D CAD program, you can load 2D DXF files (in R12 format) and extrude them to a 3D part. Sometimes you need a part that cannot be designed with a traditional CAD program. Sometimes you don’t even have a CAD program. If this sounds like you, don’t worry. You can open any image file (JPG, BMP, or PNG) in MeshCAM and the image will be converted to a 3D surface that can be machined directly. Users have come up with incredible uses for this feature to make parts that would be almost impossible with a traditional CAD program.

    vampire

    vampire

    Metariver Technology Co.,Ltd

    Vampire (Virtual Additive Manufacturing System) Additive manufacturing simulation (3D printing): is an engineering computing software that simulates the process of 3D printing to predict and analyze results and performs transient heat transfer analysis, deformation analysis by thermal expansion and prediction, and strength analysis of residual stress. Since 3D additive manufacturing technology often requires high cost and time for product manufacturing, it is essential to identify and respond to various problems in the manufacturing process in advance by applying analysis techniques suitable for the additive manufacturing process before manufacturing. Vampire provides key tools for building a smart preprocessing process for this mere purpose.
