3D design software is essential for creating models for additive manufacturing, and 3DCoat is one such program. Developed by Ukrainian studio Pilgway, which brings together experts from the US, Argentina, and Ukraine, the program was launched in 2007 by Andrew Shapagin, a former programmer. The experience he has gained over the years has been incorporated into the development of 3DCoat to improve its performance.
This easy-to-understand program combines 3D art and 3D modeling technologies. The website provides tutorials that make it easy to use, explaining how to use the tools and prepare models for 3D printing. Guides are also available on topics such as modeling spacecraft wings, modeling and UV tools, as well as courses for beginners. Users can interactively exchange ideas via a forum and ask questions. The company also offers an ecosystem of design products, including 3DCoat, 3DTextura, and 3DCoatPrint.
With 3DCoat Print, it is possible to prepare complex prints, such as ant farm models.
The Characteristics of 3DCoat
3DCoat is a software program widely used in world-renowned video game studios and more than 150 universities. An update was released in early 2024, offering improved features and performance. The program’s digital tools allow users to transform ideas into 3D models of organic surfaces. In addition, it supports vector brushes, integrates an artificial intelligence assistant, and facilitates export for additive manufacturing.
