Get the Autodesk 123D Catch app on the App Store (works best with iPad2 and iPad3). Users can also share their projects and explore other people’s creations from an online gallery that supplies an abundance of ideas for creative projects. This feature will enable users to share files between products- 123D, 123D Catch, 123D Make, and 123D Sculpt - to explore their creative ideas, or even use that model to create a physical object through personal fabrication services (think Shapeways, Ponoko). Autodesk also introduced a new feature for 123D products called My Corner, which provides cloud storage for all 123D design projects while connecting 123D product workflows.
The 123D family (link to all the free maker apps at Autodesk) provides users with the ability to capture, design and make their ideas, and connect with others for support or inspiration. The new Autodesk “123D Catch” program may sound the death knell for 3D scanners just like Apple’s iPhone and other smartphones sounded the bell for the handheld GPS market. The app is more than a photo capture program, although it is a super powerful one tied into the cloud. Cities and physical locations of all types can use reality capture tools with 3D drones to take photos and video to model an area or building or roadway.Powerful editing tools for bodies, edges and faces. Use extrude, revolve, sweep and loft to construct solids. Get help with your Autodesk account, installation, network deployment, and much more. Find tutorials, documentation, downloads, and troubleshooting articles. Insert primitives or parts from the Parts Bin Sketch using lines, arcs and splines. For those interested in making projects real, I have provided a cut pattern file for use with craft cutters to create 3D poster board models of this Shark using a free model from Autodesk 123D Design gallery and using Autodesk\'s 123D Make program to create the pattern files. AKN is a rich repository of more than a million contributions from Autodesk, its community, and its partners.
