“Today, Mind Technology's tools are essential to us because of the dynamics they offer us in the development of moulds and designs, allowing us to provide our clients with a balanced set of creative and technical CAD tools in 2D and 3D.”
MindCAD Solutions
Export your 3D photorealistic models from MindCAD 3D and create a catalogue with collections per season, shoe line, etc. Search and filter through your collections for specific styles, categories, etc.
Easily share your catalogues with your team or your clients, inside or outside of your organisation.
Ability to update a model geometry from a MindCAD3D Document or from a generic 3D format, allows greater flexibility in files update within Mind's 3D software, expanding communication options with other software and different formats. Giving more consistency to the created projects.
Ability to automatically create options from a list of materials, this new functionality greatly accelerates the process of variants creation.
Digitizing and mapping materials, apply PBR materials.
Enhanced export capabilities that convert full model components to watertight meshes, optimizing them for 3D printing.
Introduction of the “Relax Function”, allowing the creation of more realistic, relaxed versions of 3D models.
New “Realistic Render” mode, producing high-quality, photo-realistic model images with adjustable settings for the most realistic effect and top-notch quality.
Drawing of style lines over surface.
Creation of stitches, laces, punches, padding, buckles, etc.
Digitizing and mapping of materials.
Full integration with photorealistic packages.
Tight integration with MindCAD 2D Design.
Support for importing and exporting to various generic 3D formats, such as FBX, GLTF/GLB, OBJ, STL, and more, expands possibilities and enhances compatibility with other software. This leads to improved efficiency, quality, and flexibility in workflows.
U3M Materials support: import and use materials generated by the Vizoo Material Scanner, allows the use of highly realistic scanned materials. Enabling the possibility to create more realistic 3D models.
Greater speed and flexibility through advanced material parameterization and configuration, taking the most advantage of its realism.
New “Sole Deformation Tool”, allows manipulation and adjustments of imported soles to better fit the Last.
Full integration with major sole CAD systems.
Accurate sole template creation based on last shape.
Interactive modeling of soles and heels.
Full material support for sole components.
Paint-like sketch tool for shoe designers.
Direct mapping of sketches and images over the last.
Advanced layer support.
Export to rapid prototyping systems.
Manual mock-up construction using flattened design version.
