Haptic 3D modelling software: its development. PPPresentation at 3DPrintShow Madrid 2015

Ann Marie Shillito FRSA

CEO of Anarkik3D Ltd

Hola! Touchie Feelie software!Its Anarkik 3D Design. Get physical with 3D modelling -

its playful & easy, its serious, its not CAD!

SESSION ON

WHY IS SOFTWARE SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART IN THE

PROCESS OF 3D PRINTING?

&

HOW CAN THE SOFTWARE MAKE TECHNOLOGY MORE

ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE?

To quote Peter Dormer:

“It is not craft as ‘handicraft’ that defines contemporary craftsmanship:

it is craft as knowledge that empowers a maker to take charge of technology.”

The tools we use as humans are extensions of our bodies. It is not hands that have built our world, it is tools we

have made.

Anarkik 3D Design: haptic 3D modelling software

Creative freedom to stretch the scope of your imagination.

• designer makers and artists,

• creative persons, all ages

• Non-CAD users

Haptic = virtual touch

• Robust 3DoF haptic device for:• coherent 3D interaction

• easy navigation• more intuitive to learn/use

• non complex interface• straight forward range of tools

• Great for output to 3D printing

Spin-out, founded 2006/2007: • 2007-2009. SMART Award, SE Business Support

• 2008. develop own brand product: affordable haptic 3D sketch modelling package for Creative sector

• Software/haptic device bundle: Anarkik 3D Design

• Application: 3D printing, CNC milling

• 2011. Finalist: educational Bett Award

• 2013. Winner: 3DPrintShow Global Award - Best Consumer Software

• 2014. Finalist: 3DPrintShow Global Award - Best Consumer Software

• Nov 2014. Innovate UK Award re. Learning Technology - feasibility project on A-Frame expansion.

Designed by Elizabeth Armour

using Anarkik 3D Design, 3D printed by MakLab

Finish: dyed and set with LEDs and fastenings

Anarkik 3D Design: Cloud9 interface

Example: ‘rotate object’. Individual object/group of objects rotated freely in 3D by moving haptic device grasp in any direction. Rotation controlled by holding down x, y or z key on the keyboard.

3D Consequences Pilot Project

• Collaboration & stretching the scope of their imagination

• 4 designers makers: swop digital models: 3 iterations

• Educational: one newbie supported to 3D digitally model for 3D printing

3D Consequences Pilot Project• 12 digital models for 3D printing• 9 3D printed models: sponsorship from Sculpteo
