To enhance productivity and streamline communication, Microsoft Office and Google Workspace offer a range of productivity tools, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Docs, Slides, and Sheets. Experience the power of digital design and fabrication with these software applications that enable makers to bring their creations to life.

Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

CAD/CAM software tools are used for designing and engineering 2D and 3D models of products, parts, and buildings. AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, and Fusion 360 are powerful tools that allow makers to design and engineer models with high precision, generate technical drawings, simulate real-world scenarios, and create 3D models for printing, CNC routing, or other types of digital fabrication.

3D Modeling and Animation

Blender is a powerful open-source software tool for 3D modeling and animation. Makers can use Blender to create high-quality 3D models, animate characters and objects, simulate physics and motion, and render high-quality images and videos. Blender is widely used in the entertainment industry for creating films, video games, and visual effects.

Vinyl Cutting

VinylMaster is a software tool used for preparing designs for vinyl cutting. This software allows makers to create and edit vector-based designs, adjust cutting settings, and generate cut lines for the vinyl cutter. Vinyl cutting is typically used for creating signs, decals, and stickers with high precision and quality.

CNC Routing

VCarve is a powerful CAM software tool used for generating toolpaths for CNC machines and creating high-quality, precision-cut parts. With VCarve, makers can import 2D and 3D designs, generate toolpaths for the CNC machine, simulate the cutting process, and export the files to the CNC machine. CNC routing is widely used in various industries, such as woodworking, product design, and metalworking.

3D Printing

Makerbot  and Preform are software tools used for 3D printing. These tools allow makers to prepare 3D models for printing by generating toolpaths and slicing the model into layers. Makers can use Makerbot 3D and Preform 3D to control various aspects of the printing process, such as the speed, temperature, and infill density, to create high-quality, detailed 3D prints.

Laser Engraving and Cutting

RETINAENGRAVE V3.0 is a software tool used for laser engraving and cutting. This powerful software allows makers to control various parameters of the laser engraving and cutting process, such as the speed, power, and resolution. With RETINAENGRAVE V3.0, makers can create intricate designs on a variety of materials, such as wood, plastic, and metal, and cut precise shapes with high accuracy.

Graphic Design and
Desktop Publishing

Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign are graphic design software tools used for creating images, logos, illustrations, and other graphics. Makers can use these tools to edit and manipulate images, create digital art, and design layouts for print and digital media. These software tools are widely used in the publishing industry for creating magazines, books, and brochures.

Video Editing and
Motion Graphics

​After Effects is a software tool used for creating visual effects and motion graphics. Makers can use After Effects to create high-quality, professional-level animations, composites, and special effects for film, television, and video games. This software tool is widely used in the entertainment industry for creating captivating and immersive visual experiences.

Office Productivity

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Google Drawing are office productivity software tools used for creating, editing, and sharing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Makers can use these tools to collaborate with others, manage projects, and communicate ideas effectively. These software tools are essential for makers who need to stay organized, share information, and communicate effectively.
