QuickARC 3D, the free 3D computer model viewer from QuickARC (Atlanta, GA), now reads Google SketchUp files directly and converts them to a 3D print format without the need for manipulation. By using the QuickARC 3D “Save As” command, Google SketchUp users can turn design concepts captured in SketchUp into physical 3D printed scale models.
Google SketchUp is in wide use by architects and designers due to its user-friendly interface and low cost. Many SketchUp users did not print scale models of their designs because of the incompatibility between SketchUp and 3D printing formats. QuickARC 3D and its direct SketchUp conversion capability opens a 3D printing door to SketchUp users. QuickARC 3D is compatible with all versions of Google SketchUp, including the free version, Google SketchUp 6, and the professional version, Google SketchUp Pro 6.
QuickARC 3D with the Sketchup-to-3D print capability is available for free download in the Architect’s Zone at ww.QuickARC.com.
