14 DAY TRIAL // When it comes to 3D printing techniques, printers and accessories, MakerBot is one of the foremost names. That is why we aren't shocked to learn that it is behind the latest consumer-friendly advancement in this field.
Although advancement might be pushing it a little bit, since MakerBot didn't reveal some major overhaul to the concept of 3D printing.
It also didn't launch a new printer or material. Instead, it has introduced a software tool that can be used to make custom creations.
So far, we've been shown cookie cutters. Custom-made ones that is, which don't really need users to have all that much artistic skill.
Indeed, the program is as close to an MS Pain image converter as a program can get.
Basically, all you have to do is draw a shape, and the program will make a 3D virtual model of the cookie cutter.
After that, you just need to initialize the 3D printing process (and actually own a 3D printer of course), and voila! Chocolate chip ogre faces and gremlin heads.
“We love empowering our Thingiverse community to customize and build their own 3D objects. Today we’re debuting a new way to do just that – the Thingiverse Cookie Cutter Customizer! It allows you to draw freeform cookie cutters as a new extension of Thingiverse Customizer, the app that lets you create unique designs from a set of parameters and inputs, and then print them in 3D,” MakerBot explained.
Milk and cookies is one of the most often chosen breakfasts in the world, and they are very welcome snacks at children parties too.
MakerBot may very well see a lot of success with the Cookie Cutter Customizer, as the program is called, because of the variety it can provide those occasions. Read more about the technique and program here.
