Wiki
Blender is a professional free and open-source 3D computer graphics software product used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games.
Blender’s features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animating, match moving, camera tracking, rendering, video editing and compositing. It further features an integrated game engine.
Zedit

ZEdit™ Pro lets users of 3D mechanical CAD software verify and ensure that geometric data is 3D printable; apply colors, texture maps and labels to their models; and easily print very large prototypes in component pieces. It also transforms files that were never originally intended for 3D printing, including those produced by 3D digital content creation software used in animation and architecture. ZEdit Pro makes these files 3D printing-ready, often with a single click
Optimized for Z Corporation 3D printers, ZEdit Pro’s industry-first capabilities focus on three functional areas that improve the quality of 3D printed models and enable more full-color 3D content to be printed directly:
- Geometry Optimization to automatically make 3D data ready for 3D printing;
- Painting & Texture Mapping for coloring and applying images to models; and
- Print Preparation for cutting or hollowing parts before printing.
