As CEO Abe Reichental explained back in July 2011 when 3DS bought Alibre, it was part of a big plan to make direct-to-manufacturing easier. From the looks of it, Cubify Invent is essentially a stripped down version of Alibre, another 3D System acquisition. They’ve stuck their extruders into every interest 3D printing represents, buying up high-end consumer item shops (Freedom of Creation), photo-to-3D-model software (Viztu Technologies was bought last week for an ‘undisclosed sum’) and more. Direct to 3D printing button? Most certainly.Ĭubify Invent seems to be a part of 3D Systems’ strategy to take over the consumer 3D printing market. Extrude 2D into 3D? Yup! Fillets and other such model manipulation? Check.
Unlike the free to use AutoDesk 123D, TinkerCAD or SketchUp, it cost $49, but has all the functions you would need to make almost any part fairly quickly. Cubify Invent is CAD software aimed at the uninitiated consumer with a 3D printer like the 3D System’s Cube.
