Home of "Moments of
Inspiration 3D" (MoI3D), a superb 3D package. It can be used to
create a very wide range of things with a simple to use
interface. Michael Gibson, the sofware creator, is constantly
evolving this package, adding really useful extra tools, whilst
still ensuring the ease of use is not compromised. Highly
recommended, and worth every dollar. |

Authors of MiniMagics v2.0,
a very useful free package (cut down from their professional
version). It checks to see if .STL files, as exported from
MoI3D, are okay for printing at companies such as Shapeways. |

Creators of SimLab software,
which allows the creation of rendered images of 3D models. For
example I used it to illustrate the 3D
models of Old Crow products that I created for my
3D For Others page. I'm not into
creating fully ralistic computer generated illustrations, but this package
can create stunning images, even with animation. It can also
export into the 3D PDF file format that any up to date version
of free Adobe Acrobat Reader can read, displaying the 3D models
in a rotatable viewer. |

Authors of Corel Draw -
Having an up to date version would be awesome for creating 2D
drawings, but even my years old v7.0 does a great job. |

An innovative company based
in the Netherlands, whose aim is to bring 3D printing to
everyone. Quality can be variable, with problems especially
noticeable in their highest resolution Frosted Ultra Detail
material. But I've yet to find another company that can
beat them on price or convenience. Be aware they can have
extended delivery delays. |
