Learn how to repair models with watertight issues to prepare them for downstream operations.

In this two part post, I will show how I prepped and 3D printed the Farnsworth House model that I highlighted last month as part of the FormIt Primer.

I also wanted to celebrate a friend's good news by making a scale souvenir for him. His dog is named Ando, so you know he's a big fan.

Happy Halloween from the FormIt team! My friend and colleague Zach over at BuildZ hosts a parametric pumpkin contest every year. So why should all the Revit and Dynamo heads have all the fun? Here is my 'entry.' [

We have been experimenting with printing models from FormIt on our Replicator2. If you are at the AIA conference this week, stop by the Autodesk booth (#3717) and check out the results yourself!

A brand new MakerBot Replicator2 showed up at our office recently. Of course we started thinking about what we could print from FormIt. I started printing out pieces of the Villa Rotunda model that I posted back in March. But I wanted to print something useful -
