Topic: Design review in VR before 3D Printing
Hey folks,
We have started to develop some software which has the premise of uploading a 3D model in virtual reality and "living it" before your 3D print it. As such you would essentially have the possibility to do a sort of design review prior to going through the motions of printing it out. We already have an app / prototype and have begun to test our theory but in retrospect, I wish we had asked the following questions upfront before even beginning development:
- Would 3D printing enthusiasts be interested in software to help their "design review" process?
- Would a virtual reality experience whereby one could "live" their design be of any value to an enthusiast?
- What kind of features in such a virtual design platform would be most helpful to aid the design review process and reduce design errors up-front
Here is a copy of our free iPhone app (its only a test for the moment in its very early initial stage): https://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/thecons … n&mt=8
Additionally, a short youtube video which should give you an indication of what we are doing directionally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2US3aJH … load_owner
I would really like to hear what you have to say so please let us know what you are thinking and we'll build it that way. You can contact me at [email protected] if you like as well.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!
Cheers, Hans
