For an additional fee, Autodesk will arrange to produce a 2D cut pattern made from wood, cardboard, plastic, metal, or fabric, that can be used to put together a full 3D representation of the original object. With the associated 123D Make tool, the user can then take that new 3D model and upload it to Autodesk's servers in order to get a physical model made from it. As is clear from what looks like a crown on top of the head, the resulting image needs to be touched up or manipulated to be usable for creating a physical model. Though this image is static, the software creates a full 3D model that can be examined from all sides. This is a 3D model of the author's head, creating using Autodesk's 123D Catch software. Autodesk will process the model at no charge. By snapping a few dozen pictures from angles all around the object and then uploading them to Autodesk's cloud-based system via the software, the user can within minutes get back a 3D model of the object. With 123D Catch, a user can take any digital camera and use it to photograph a real-world object. The two programs join the company's existing iPad app, 123D Sculpt, as part of a family of tools that are intended to give just about anyone the ability not just to make their own 3D designs, but also to get them produced as real, physical models.Īutodesk unveiled the two new applications at a press event at its innovation center here today, making the argument that just about anyone can now play the role of 3D modeler that has traditionally belonged to CAD experts and other professional designers. That's the idea behind 123D Catch and 123D Make, two new free software applications that Autodesk is planning on releasing on Monday.
SAN FRANCISCO-You may not know CAD, but if you've got a computer, you can now start creating 3D models.
