Mainstreaming of 3D Printing Continues With New App That Turns Pictures Into 3D Models

Autodesk, one of the premier 3-D printing companies… has a new app out for iPad that aims to make 3-D printing easier.

Just snap a bunch of pictures of the object you want to reproduce from different angles, and the app, cleverly named 123D Catch, creates a 3-D rendering automatically.

…3-D printing is one of those nascent technologies that’s getting better and cheaper all the time, and everybody assumes that some form of the tech will be a major part of our lives in the future, but nobody’s quite figured out that killer app that’ll make everyone want to go out and buy one. This isn’t that, but it is a big step towards making 3-D printing easier and more approachable, even if it requires that you take pictures with your iPad
