Rig Cad for Tinkercad Users
If you know group and hole in Tinkercad, you already know the operations. Here is where they live in Rig Cad.
Geometry Nodes, Displacement, and the Implicit Tree
If you already think in Geometry Nodes, the Objects tree is the graph. Mesh Boolean is a hard CSG node. The purple diamond turns that same node into a field.
Rig Cad for Fusion 360 Users
If you already use a timeline, Combine, and user parameters, you already know this editor. Here is where those habits live.
Rig Cad for OpenSCAD Users
If you already write union, difference, and modules, you already know this editor. The tree is the program.
Beyond Sliders: Designing Safe Parameter Spaces for Printable Products
Sliders define choices, but reliable products need relationships between them. Learn how to derive dimensions, constrain combinations, handle failures, and test a printable product family.
Pricing Customized 3D Prints: Costs, Yield, and Margin
Build repeatable prices for customized 3D prints from material, machine time, labor, yield, selling fees, and margin.
