3D software
Design
Solidworks is a traditional 3D CAD tool, best suited when you want to precisely define your machine parts. UiO have invested in 500 educational licenses through USIT. Students may install a student version from this link. Contact the engineer (Yngve) to obtain the school code. Solidworks is installed on ifiserv-6.ifi.uio.no
We have 30 floating licenses for educational purposes on our network (2010-04). Currently we have license server for 2010 and newer versions using port 25734@cifrario.ifi.uio.no, and a server for earlier versions on 25734@akvarium.ifi.uio.no. How these services are run may change suddenly now that USIT have taken over the administration of the licenses
Blender is an open source 3D design tool. It is best suited for organic designs. At the moment Blender can be run without installation- simply download it to a folder, unpack and run. Blender is installed on ifiserv-6.ifi.uio.no
STL Viewers
Minimagics is a free STL-viewer (single user only). When you have a design, try open your stl files in a another design, printing program or a viewer to make sure there are no defects, before printing.
Printing
objet studio is the 3D-printing utility for the Connex 500 machine. Here you may place your design in the tray, and select materials for each part in your build. Objet studio is installed on ifiserv-6.ifi.uio.no
Catalyst is the 3Dprinting software for the Dimension SST 768 machine. We have only license for installing catalyst on the machine connected to the printer.
