3D Systems Launches Cubify Invent

By DE Editors

3D Systems has launched Cubify Invent, the company’s 3D design tool that was developed specifically for 3D printing.

Cubify Invent combines professional design software with free tutorials. According to the company, users familiar with basic CAD tools like SketchUp, and new users alike, can quickly advance to create and make items in 3D. Cubify members can access cloud-printing services for their creations or print their designs on the Cube 3D printer.

“We are thrilled to offer the most affordable and powerful 3D design tool on Cubify today. Cubify Invent combines our extensive 3D printing and design expertise to deliver a unique, create-and-make experience to beginners and professionals alike, and this is just the beginning,”  said Cathy Lewis, vice president of global marketing for 3D Systems.

In other 3D Systems news, the company has acquired Viztu Technologies, the developer of Hypr3D, an online platform that allows users to turn pictures and videos into printable 3D objects.  The company expects to integrate Viztu into Cubify.com. Viztu’s founders, Ash Martin and Tom Milnes, will join the 3D Systems team.
