Intuitive Design and Editing Utilities

Drawing precisely is easy with TurboCAD Mac! We have designed it to be user friendly and intuitive to work with.

• The LogiCursor™ anticipates your next action and guides your cursor to potential point selections in the drawing.
• The Gripper adds drag and drop capabilities to make editing designs easy breezy.
• Customizable Grids add another level of ease by providing precision drag and drop in rectangular, polar (circular), and isometric layouts.

3D Printing Tools

TurboCAD Mac Deluxe 2D/3D includes 3D printing tools to prepare and validate your designs to make them 3D printer ready.

• 3D Print Check - Checks for print viability, displaying warnings or errors to the user.
• Surface Normals Check - Facet normals define the inside and outside areas of a part. If facet normals are pointing the wrong way, the 3D printer may have problems creating the part. This will check for problems and we have several commands that can help you fix it.
• Overhang Analysis - This will help you visually inspect modeling areas that may require structural support for 3D printing. Meshes, surfaces, and solids facets normals are compared to the work plane direction. Angles that are less or equal to 45 degrees are highlighted as red.
• Wall Thickness Analysis - This tool provides a means to visually inspect modeling areas that may be too thin for 3D printing. Meshes, surfaces, and solids facets are examined using ray intersections.
• Preview Slices - This interface will help you to slice models given a direction and thickness. The dialog box allows for animation through the slices and single-stepping. Use to verify that a part has closed, non-overlapping sections, a requirement for 3D printing.
• Auto Position - The Auto Position tool translates the model to the positive x, y coordinate system at z=0.
• Support Structure - Manually adds geometry to support material as it is created by the 3D printer. Support structures controls, include Attach Radius, Midpoint Radius, Base Radius, Base Thickness, and Drag base and midpoints to modify structure location.
• Show Printer Volume - Toggles the boundary of the default 3D Printer. The volume is defined within the Printer Definitions dialog box.
• Printer Definitions - Sets key parameters of the 3D printer, including length, width, and height of the volume accessible by the printer. The parameters in the Printer Definitions dialog box are used for commands such as 3D Print Check and Auto Position.
