Desktop 3D printer manufacturer, MakerBot and creative software provider The Foundry have announced a unique partnership.
The partnership enables The Foundry's MODO to seamlessly integrate with MakerBot Replicator 3D Printers, making it easier for artists to export model designs to the Makerbot 3D printer.
MODO also provides tools for MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner customers to clean and modify their scanned data in a streamlined and integrated modeling environment.
According to The Foundry, its design-focused software suite, including MODO, powers visual effects for films like Gravity, Pacific Rim, and World War Z, and television shows such as Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones.
"Using our solutions, artists have the ability to effortlessly blend, add and subtract objects, then export to a watertight mesh, a process that we believe revolutionizes 3D modeling and offers infinite creative possibilities for MakerBot 3D printer users," said Christopher Kenessey, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at The Foundry.
This partnership also offers users of The Foundry's MODO 3D content creation platform a ten percent discount on the purchase of a MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer, a MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer, or a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer through June 25, 2014.
