3D printing from SketchUp with CADspan: Now even better

You might remember reading about a nifty 3D printing-from-SketchUp plugin called CADspan that we blogged about a few months ago. It would appear that the folks over at LGM (who make CADspan) have been busy since then. They've released a new version of the plugin, and here's some of what's new:

• CADspan is now available for both Windows and Mac
• It now supports SketchUp 7 (which we released in November)
• File processing times are about 10x faster
• The system is much more reliable (hooray for beta testing!)

Here's a video that explains more:



In related news, there's now a Pro version of CADspan that provides some extra benefits. Check out the Pro page on their websites for all the details.
