Pastor Uses Shapr3D to Make Models for His Community AM Software

by Design

Trent is a pastor from the US, with an education in theology and computer science. A rare combination, but a trend we have been seeing more frequently among Shapr3D users. Unrelated, previously unheard industries/fields are starting to realize the power of 3D modeling/3D printing, and what it can bring to their lives, their micro communities. Trent is creating 3D printed pieces for his community and family. We talked with him about his beginnings, and the printing projects he is currently working on.

Create it REAL Introduces New Solutions to the 3D Printing Copyright Issue 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

Even though the 3D printing market is booming, many companies or designers creating 3D models are reluctant to share or sell them online because of intellectual property issues. Same as for the music industry back in the 90’s when the mp3 became popular, 3D files could be copied, altered and shared for free on internet. New business models emerged, like with Spotify, and helped the industry to move forward. Create it REAL, the Danish R&D center specialised in 3D printing technologies, has developed a solution that will allow designers to create their new business models.
