The software also allows advanced users to program designs so that construction drawings can be automatically created for variations of a part.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><b>CAD for Technical Design<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Building detailed CAD models and animating moving parts can refine the design, therefore avoiding waste from having to re-work parts later. It can result in lighter sections and reduced weight before parts reach the manufacture stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Models from different design teams can be reviewed using interchange file formats such as STEP, IGES or STL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 It is already possible to download digital files from external libraries such as Trace Parts, 3D Content Central and GrabCAD. Users of CAD software such as Solidworks and Autodesk Inventor will also find internal parts libraries which can be customised with bespoke content for reuse in future shows.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><b>Printing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 3D printers utilizing heat or lasers use\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">50 to 100 times more electricity<\/span>\u00a0than traditional production methods to make an object of equal weight. 3D printing is not the most efficient way of producing an item in general, but where one bespoke item is required, it uses exactly the amount of material required without the requirement to make bespoke tooling or undertake subtractive manufacturing processes where material is cut away and lost. Therefore in the right context, it can allow efficient and rapid creation of representative and functional parts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Suppliers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filamentive.com\/\">Filamentive<\/a> recycle and supply recycled 3D printer filaments utilising post-consumer waste.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u2022 Many printers now use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3d-printing-sustainability-220420194\/\">Bioplastics<\/a> as a printing material<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/sustainableproductions-toolkit\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Back to The Toolkit&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theatre Green Book PRODUCTIONS Toolkit &#8211; Designing and Making &nbsp; Modelling Tools and CAD With thanks to Jon Bausor, Max Dorey and Chris PeplerModel Box Database Dropbox Link Physical Modelling \u2022 Biodegradable Foamcore is available in black and white and will breakdown by 100% within one to five years due to its unique \u201cbio resin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1121,"featured_media":0,"parent":327,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-536","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/536\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249906,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/536\/revisions\/249906"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
