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

IP is still a thing, after all.

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

Noctua has released free 3D CAD models of its fans, giving modders, case designers, and engineers precise geometry for PC projects and custom builds.

For decades, computer-aided design (CAD) has been the cornerstone of modern engineering. Yet much of the workflow still relies on manual repetition, rigid processes and human interpretation. Engineers ...

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 upgrade. It requires the user to move from the world of 2D drafting ...

In some ways, it's the CAD industry's version of thoseage-old debates, like the one over Coke vs. Pepsi, or republican vs. democrat.As the discourse heats up over the merits of traditional parametric, ...

When Sixense previewed MakeVR, its immersive 3D-modeling platform, a couple years ago, we were impressed. Equipped with Sixense’s proprietary hardware, we could make CAD models from within a virtual ...

Onshape is revolutionizing CAD modeling as we know it. Apple is always talking about how many professions increasingly rely on the iPad for work, and developers Onshape have just added another: ...

The key to quick, efficient CAD modeling is to have a solid library of CAD blocks - pre-prepared sets of common objects and details that you can simply drop into your drawing as and when they are ...
