Antimony

Antimony is a cool CAD tool for OS X that really makes a difference in how we design things. With 3D printing becoming so popular, it's great for both newbies and experienced designers to create some pretty complex stuff.

Create with Ease

This software lets you mix 2D and 3D geometrical figures using different techniques. The best part? The workflow is super easy to follow, but it’s your imagination that really takes center stage!

User-Friendly Interface

The Antimony interface has three main parts: the Graph window where you can sketch out objects and connect nodes; the View panel that gives you a sneak peek of your work; and the Quad window where you can check out your object from four angles all at once. How cool is that?

Create Complex Designs

You can make both 2D and 3D shapes, plus use CSG techniques to craft complex surfaces. Each shape or effect gets its module, and it's up to you to connect the dots—literally!

Real-Time Rendering

The geometry engine in Antimony is no joke! It renders graphics beautifully and allows you to view everything from different angles. Any changes you make show up right away. No waiting around!

Experiment Freely

If you're feeling adventurous, Antimony supports various transformations like rotating, scaling, attracting, repelling, bending—you name it! Try these out and see instant results.

A New Way to Design

To wrap it up, Antimony offers a fresh approach to CAD designs. You get to play with basic shapes and transformations to whip up intricate objects.

Exporting Your Work

Your designs can be exported as .STL heightmaps, which are perfect for 3D printing, or as PNG image files for easy sharing. Plus, if you're looking for help getting started, there's an awesome video tutorial available here!
