Member Rectro Posted November 19, 2023 Member Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Hi Im quite new to 3DCoat but not to traditional 3d modeling. I have had the full version of 3DCoat for a while but not realy spent much time with it untill yesterday. I noticed while its easy enough for concept and visual design, at the moment Im not seeing much in terms of accuracy and precise measurements when using Booles and Voxel workflows. All tutorials I have seen so far are eyeballing the scale and placement of cuts, holes, and paying little to not attention to measurements. As im quite new to this program I ask you more experienced users can this software be used for accurate mechanical functional designs to specification, or is it purely a conception visualization tool? Im 3D printing my designs and up till now being using C4D. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Is more used for conception visualization tool and subd modeling For accurate mechanical functional designs to specification you need to use CAD apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Rectro Posted November 19, 2023 Author Member Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Thanks. For some things its working out quite well and with C4D together they work a treat. Here is the first thing iv ever made in 3DCoat, its printing as I type. Dan Airbrush print holder2.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
