"BIM software for designers, builders, and doers. Model in 3D, streamline documentation, use specialized tools in a unified BIM environment."

"These lessons step through the process of creating a simple building model using Revit."

ideaMaker by Raise3D is the slicing program used by the 3D printers at CMCC, and it is a free download.

TinkerCad is also on our zSpace computer. Model's created with TinkerCad can be exported as the .stl files 3D printers use with their slicer software.

The zSpace computer in the Learning Commons has a 3D modeling program called Leopoly.

"The Design Spot at the Auburn Public Library features a 3D printer and computers with design software. This equipment, books, and Design Spot programming (made available with funding provided by a grant from a Donor-Advised Fund of the Maine Community Foundation) are intended to inspire a new interest in design for people of all ages."
