Three Applications Created to Simplify Key Steps in Automotive and Other Exacting Design Workflows
DETROIT. MI (December 4, 2024) — Linkage Design, a Mechdyne Company, today announced the release of its first three Blender design tools that are intended to speed the workflow for users of Blender for digital design. These tools are available now on the Blender Market and Gumroad. Linkage, a leading provider of design resources emphasizing the use of advanced digital design and engineering software solutions, interacted with several global automotive design teams to test the value of these tools. These automotive companies are already using Blender in their digital design pipeline. Linkage will continue to add Blender tools and training to its expertise in 3D digital modeling, Class-A service creation, reverse engineering from scan, feasibility studies, lighting and ergonomics studies, and concept creation. The first three tools include:
1) Marking Menus: Customizable marking menus for quick and efficient access to tools
2) Custom Top View: A custom top view with the X-axis oriented upwards
3) Object Aligner: Enables positioning of models relative to the world origin
“This expansion of products and services allows Linkage to further solidify our client relationships by continuing to provide elite digital tools,” said Linkage Design’s General Manager, Michael Check. “Also, this initiative will allow us to promote more donations from automotive companies to the Blender fund and coordinate the development of future add-ons, plus more strategic features,” continued Check.
These new tools are available as free downloads courtesy of Linkage Design. They will be available soon on Blender Marketplace. Videos highlighting Linkage Design’s other software skills and training capabilities can be found on Youtube.
