美国3D打印机品牌商3d Systems日前正式发表一款软件《Cubify Sculpt》,应用虚拟黏土的概念,让任何人士都能够使用一般的计算机与鼠标，轻松的制作出各种三维打印模型。
继3D Systems开发出世界第一台家庭三维打印机后，3D打印的相关应用服务与软件开发依然持续的进行，例如可以用智能手机免费下载APP软件《Cubify Draw》就是一个十分平易近人的软件，如今《Cubify Sculpt》的功能更为专业，却十分的易学易懂，只要会使用计算机，就能够制作出各种不同的3D设计作品。
透过网络上的展示影片，可以看到《Cubify Sculpt》透过十分简易的工具，「捏」出各种不同的造型，例如细致的人脸、艺术品、装饰品等3D对象，无须经过专业的3D绘图训练，也能够制作出具有个性的3D对象并且透过3D打印机将对象输出成实体。
《Cubify Sculpt》的最大特色是简易使用，且能够立即编辑目前3D打印机最普遍支持的STL文件格式，因此您可以将现有的作品加以改良，制作出更具创意的设计作品。此外还能够贴上3D立体花纹增加物品的质感，或是将3D对象上色后，透过特定的服务打印出彩色的3D对象。
