Using the split function in 3D builder you can slice a model into a number of smaller parts along certain planes or axis to reduce the need for support or to eliminate overhangs.

Before you pick a place that’s going to make your 3D object, you need a 3D model to actually print. There are a few things you need to consider when you’re looking for something to make.

How do you 3D-print without a 3D printer? If you don't own a 3D printer, you can still 3D print any 3D model you found through a database or designed through a software tool.

Now, how can you view a 3D model present in the .stp/ .step file on your Windows 10 PC? The native 3D apps like 3D Viewer or Paint 3D don’t let you open a STEP file.

Are you curious how a single image can transform into a 3D model in seconds? Microsoft’s Copilot 3D tool can make it possible in minutes. Here’s how.

Some readers may consider that a revolting oversimplification, but it is a helpful one to make a point about how 3D scanning, 3D printing, and CAD work do (and don’t) work together.

Before you go to the hardware store — or book a contractor — you can use software like free floor-plan apps and augmented-reality tools to sketch out ideas for your remodeling projects.

If you're looking for a quick and easy project in Blender, or just need to create a 3D model from a 2D reference image, then we've got you covered!
