For years， I’ve been fascinated by the promise and frustrated by the reality of 3D printing. Today， Autodesk is announcing two contributions to help make things better. First is an open software platform for 3D printing called Spark， which will make it more reliable yet simpler to print 3D models， and easier to control how that model is actually printed. Second， we will be introducing our own 3D printer that will serve as a reference implementation for Spark. It will demonstrate the power of the Spark platform and set a new benchmark for the 3D printing user experience. Together， these will provide the building blocks that product designers， hardware manufacturers， software developers and materials scientists can use to continue to explore the limits of 3D printing technology.

Spark will be open and freely licensable to hardware manufacturers and others who are interested. Same for our 3D printer–the design of the printer will be made publicly available to allow for further development and experimentation. The printer will be able to use a broad range of materials， made by us and by others， and we look forward to lots of exploration into new materials.

The world is just beginning to realize the potential of additive manufacturing and with Spark， we hope to make it possible for many more people to incorporate 3D printing into their design and manufacturing process. Over the coming months we’ll be working with hardware manufacturers to integrate the Spark platform with current and future 3D printers.Both Spark and our 3D printer will be available later this year.

3D printing will make it possible for us to create all sorts of things we create today， better， and to create all sorts of new things that we haven‘t even imagined yet.If you are interested in working with us， sign up at

加速推進(jìn)3D打印技術(shù)的未來

多年來，我一直著迷的承諾，通過三維打印的現(xiàn)實(shí)感到沮喪。今天，歐特克宣布兩筆捐款，以幫助把事情做好。首先是3D打印稱為星火一個(gè)開放的軟件平臺(tái)，這將使它更可靠更簡(jiǎn)單的打印三維模型，并容易地控制這種模式實(shí)際打印。其次，我們將推出我們自己的3D打印機(jī)，將作為一個(gè)參考實(shí)現(xiàn)的火花。它將展示星火平臺(tái)的能力，并設(shè)置為3D打印的用戶體驗(yàn)的新標(biāo)桿。總之，這些將提供構(gòu)建塊，產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)師，硬件制造商，軟件開發(fā)商和材料科學(xué)家可以用它來繼續(xù)探索3D打印技術(shù)的極限。

火花將是開放的，自由授權(quán)的硬件制造商和其他人誰感興趣。相同的打印機(jī)我們的3D打印機(jī)的設(shè)計(jì)將可公開獲得，以便進(jìn)一步開發(fā)和試驗(yàn)。打印機(jī)將能夠使用廣泛的材料，我們和其他人所做的，我們期待著大量的探索到新的材料。

這個(gè)世界才剛剛開始意識(shí)到添加劑制造以及與星火的潛力，我們希望有可能使更多的人納入三維打印到他們的設(shè)計(jì)和制造過程。在未來幾個(gè)月內(nèi)，我們將與硬件廠商合作，整合星火平臺(tái)與當(dāng)前和未來的3D printers.Both Spark和今年晚些時(shí)候我們的3D打印機(jī)將可用。

三維打印技術(shù)將使我們有可能創(chuàng)造各種各樣的我們創(chuàng)造的東西今天，更好，創(chuàng)造各種各樣的，我們甚至還沒有想到新的東西yet.If您有興趣與我們合作，簽署了在萬維網(wǎng).autodesk.com /火花
