3D Design and Types

3D design is the process of using software to create a mathematical representation of a 3-dimensional object or shape. The created object is called a 3D model and these 3-dimensional models are used for computer-generated (CG) design. 3D design is used in a variety of industries to help artists shape, communicate, document, analyze, and share their ideas.

Softwares Used to make 3D Model

Three-dimensional (3D) models represent a physical body using a collection of points in 3D space, connected by various geometric entities such as triangles, lines, curved surfaces, etc. Being a collection of data (points and other information), 3D models can be created manually, algorithmically, or by scanning. Their surfaces may be further defined with texture mapping.

Future Innovation on 3D Printing

The world of 3D printing has the possibility of creating a newer, better future. From increasing the effectiveness of  foreign aid to creating a more sustainable future. The possibilities presented to us by 3D printers have allowed us to imagine a better future. Unfortunately, the majority of objects that can be created are subject to the size of each respective 3D printer. Therefore, we can only print to a minimal extent. Alternatively, 2016 has seen an incredible advancement in the 3D printing sector. Below, we have curated a list of six innovations that will change the future of business and production.

• 3D Printing in Healthcare
• 3D Printing Redefining in Air Travel
• 3D Printed Food
• Rocket Crafters
• 3D Printing in Education
• 3D Printing in Manufacturing

Drone Technology

A drone, in technological terms, is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASes). Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS.

In the recent past, UAVs were most often associated with the military, where they were used initially for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and then, more controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones are now also used in a wide range of civilian roles ranging from search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting, to personal drones and business drone-based photography, as well as videography, agriculture and even delivery services.

Types of Drone

Drones can be classified on a different basis like Drones for Photography, Drones for aerial Mapping, Drones for Surveillance etc. However, the best classification of ‘Drones’ can be made on the basis of aerial platforms. Based on the type of aerial platform used, there are 4 major types of drones.

• Multi Rotor Drones
• Fixed Wing Drones
• Micro Drones
• Tactical Drones
• Single-Rotor Drones
• Fixed Wing Hybrid

Drone Uses

Here is a quick list of what drones are being used for.  You can see it basically covers almost every sector with more new uses coming on each week.

• Rescue
• Marketing
• Weather patterns
• Site surveying
• Fire Fighting
