7 best iOS-applications for 3D-printing

3D-press, perhaps, will be one of the main technologies of the XXI century, along with the robots. So far, everything happens in the experiment: it will print a chocolate chip cookie, a car, a woman's swimsuit, the blood vessels. However, at the level of domestic use all boils and growing. "MakRadar" prepared a selection of the best iOS-app for anyone interested in 3D-printing.

MakerBot

With this application you can manage have 3D-printers MakerBot Replicator, MakerBot Replicator Mini and MakerBot Replicator Z18: include, stop and resume printing, monitor the work process printer. Models for printing can be downloaded in the library MakerBot Cloud or download digital design, after finding it on the pages of the largest community of enthusiasts 3D-printing Thingiverse, and then pass on a printer.

MakerBot PrintShop

Another application of the company MakerBot. With the help of the usual 2D-drawings can be turned into 3D-design and then print it. The library models can be found a variety of bracelets, rings, vases, teapots, mugs and more. To create a subject enough to draw, for example, a flower on a sheet of paper, photograph it on the iPad camera, and a few seconds flower model will be ready for printing.

Thingiverse

The world's largest community of enthusiasts 3D-printing. It operates under a Creative Commons license - anyone can download your favorite model for printing. A collection of stunning models from the usual buttons and wedding rings to spare parts for the Porsche 928.

Trnio

With this application you can convert photos to 3D-models. Of course, not all, but mostly immobile figures and faces, the individual items. Worst of all are obtained model using glass, shiny metal and thin flat plastic. Photos uploaded to the "cloud", where they are transformed into ready-to-print facilities.

Cubify

Potentially a very powerful application for fashionistas. Use this scenario: you are photographing your favorite shoes and then print them at home of 3D-printers. But rather, it is a picture of the immediate future. While the possibility of more modest applications. It is something like a social network with the ability to share their 3D-models with each other. Good move.

3DAround

Without this, the application can not do any fan of 3D-printing and Instagram. C using 3DAround can scan plates of food to share and find photos. Why do I need to print out the 3D-printer plates of food, I can not understand. Maybe it will come up cafes and restaurants that will be able to exhibit the designs of dishes in the windows of their establishments. Ann made the company Dacuda, which is currently preparing a new application for 3D-selfie. The prototype was presented at the MWC-2015.

Morphi

User-friendly application for modeling without special knowledge. At the heart of - intuitive creation of 3D-shapes with the help of iPad screen finger movements. There are many ready-made templates, forms and tools for modeling. Some of them are free, some have to buy. There is a very convenient feature of fitting the resulting 3D-shapes under the specific brand of 3D-printers before printing. Of course, I realized Thingiverse support. Models can be how to upload and download.
