Making 3D models is just a teeny bit more difficult than pushing the shutter release button on a camera. Then there are issues of file compatibility. Having just played with Dassault&#8217;s &#8220;3D Print Screen&#8221; software two nights ago and finding it lacking, I&#8217;m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, this just doesn&#8217;t feel to me like how it <em>should<\/em> feel, cuz it feels like a big corporation hoping to make money off of the backs of a bunch of 3D modelers. There are other options for people like me&#8230; options wrapped up in some of the stuff surrounding Croquet.<\/p>\n<p>If I can avoid the gatekeeper, you can bet I intend to do just that. And so will plenty of others.<\/p>\n<p>{<strong>Update:<\/strong> I should have included this as well: MS is teaming up with Dassault. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/id,133411-c,mapping\/article.html\">PCWorld has a piece on that (Link<\/a>) which goes into much more. For example, the Allegorithmic connection is interesting. Remember that (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/?p=50\">reLink<\/a>)?<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the really interesting part:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nDassault Systhmes also plans a business side to the 3dvia community, called SupplierSource, to <strong>help designers find manufacturers for their products<\/strong>. The SupplierSource site, which the company said will appear at http:\/\/www.suppliersource.3dvia.com\/, is not yet live.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I wonder how that&#8217;s going to work. Needless to say I&#8217;m liking this a bit more.}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Reuters (Link): French software company Dassault Systemes launched on Tuesday 3DVIA, a platform that will enable consumer and professional users to access three-dimensional services online. &#8230; The 3D services, the first of which will be accessible on the 3dvia.com &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/?p=1330\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-administrative"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.rebang.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
