Many of today's advanced 3D design packages provide instant visual effects, with many powerful features to help you achieve precise control over your designs. However, design models like this require 3D printing and also need to meet specific requirements, especially with edge connections, so that the 3D components have a clear dimension - or are said to be watertight. Many 3D design software does not automatically detect these features in 3D files because it is far beyond 3D printing. Today, the popular entry-level 3D design software SketchUp has worked with professional 3D printing company Materialise to solve this problem, allowing designers to generate 3D printed STL files or find them in the online 3D printing model library 3D Warehouse. 3D printed file. This feature is called Printables for 3D Warehouse and is very simple - when SketchUp files are saved and uploaded to the 3D Warehouse, there will be a pop-up window asking the user to choose whether to send it to the Materialise cloud system to analyze and optimize the The 3D printability of the file. Then, the file is processed quickly—this process is quite fast—and it is marked as 3D-printable in the 3D Warehouse, and the process is fairly simple and fast. Prior to this, SketchUp users often needed to use third-party plug-ins to optimize their 3D printing of their design content. Although this new model requires network connectivity to process files, the SketchUp team explained that Materialise's algorithms can return high-quality STL files to ensure your 3D printing results. Although Sketchup is just a design software, its development team is trying to enter the online 3D model library through the 3D Warehouse. There are already a large variety of 3D models on the 3D Warehouse (before the acquisition by Trimble in 2012, the growth of SketchUp was mainly due to its use as a common tool for designing buildings for Google Earth, and it is Google's software). The emergence of the "printable" feature will make it another entry point for people to find and share 3D printed files, just like Thingiverse and Youmagine.
