New editing tools and creating... from the heart! :)

Cyant’s Lab™ editing tools menu, and your ability to create new unique 3D designs with the app, got expanded earlier this month! The menu was updated to include a scale tool and a rotate tool, which you can use on any individual element from your 3D drawings. As with our other 3D drawing editing tools, you can simply tap on the elements you wish to edit, and the editing tools menu will appear. You can then select the rotate or scale tools to change the orientation or size of the selected elements.

To see the new tools in action, let’s create… from the heart! Here is a quick tutorial video which will show how you can create, in a few steps, a unique 3D flower from a single heart you have 3D drawn.

Happy creating!

Summer STEAM Pop-Up Events, hosted by Project Farmhouse and GrowNYC!

If you are in NYC in July and August, mark your calendars: we have two pop-up STEAM events with 3D Printing for kids, and we are thrilled be hosted by Project Farmhouse ! Project Farmhouse is a state of the art sustainability center and event space operated by GrowNYC steps away from the Union Square Greenmarket, and we’ll have a chance to visit this iconic farmers market as part of these STEAM workshops too!

The first workshop will take place on July 27th, 10:00am-12:00pm, and focus on plants. Plants have long been a great and important source of inspiration and a resource across many fields, and there are already quite a few connections with 3D printing... So we are really looking forward to meeting with new young cyantists to discuss technology, sustainability, plants and a small 3D printed project.

The second workshop will take place on August 17th, 10:00am - 12:00pm focus on Summer Fruits! Young cyantists will learn about the technology, sustainability aspects, summer fruits and create a small 3D printed design which they will be able to take home too!

If you are in NYC, make sure to bring your kiddos and join us!

New Ruler Tool In Cyant's Lab™!

A ruler is part of an engineer’s, a school kid’s, a designer‘s and an artist ‘s toolkit, even a 3D one! So we’ve added a new ruler tool to our iPad app Cyant’s Lab to make it easier for Cyantists of all ages to 3D draw straight lines in the app digitally.

Of course you can still use a physical ruler and an apple pencil too if you have one. :)

Digital or physical, you choose! What will you create? :)
