Touch-3D Allows Models To Be Printed As Plans
Script Software International has released a new version of Touch-3D bringing the 3D modeling software to version 2.1.2. According to Script Software:

"A three dimensional object is first designed on screen and can be unfolded automatically to maximize the use of any building material. Boats, tents, buildings and any 3D object you can imagine is first designed on screen and using the smart unfolding algorithms in the program, unfolded and then printed out. Once printed and cut along the edges, the model can then be folded back together to create the actual physical 3D object. This is a lot quicker, easier and less expensive then carving a wooden model or moulding from plastic or clay and allows for quick changes and updates."

Improvements in version 2.1.2 include:

  • Support for colors when exporting to Illustrator/Freehand/CorelDraw 8
  • Exports outlines as polylines and not as lines, which makes it easier to apply fills in the receiving program, and it makes it easier to use it for cutting out pieces with a cutting machine. This fix applies to Illustrator, MiniCad/VectorWorks and DXF.
  • Problem with snapping in the Unfold view has been fixed.
  • Problem with the Alignment Indicator in the Unfold view has been fixed.
  • Problem with selection frames when changing selection modes has been fixed.
  • Problem with copying from the Unfold view to the clipboard has been fixed.

Touch-3D 2.1.2 can be downloaded from the company's web site. Pricing is set at US$325 with upgrade pricing information available from Script Software.
