MakeVR enables to 3D print from a HTC Vive headset.

Launched by Vive Studios™ and Sixense, MakeVR Pro (available for $39.99) proposes advanced features for creators that are looking for the most accurate 3D projects possible.

It’s all about precision.

The new tools of MakeVR Pro include grids and rulers, jigs, snapping, surface tracking, and mirroring. They enable the 3D designer, regardless of his/her age to create solid-model content with positional and rotational accuracy in the virtual workshop.

If this features best meets the needs of the 3D designers, notice is to be made that it also opens new doors to creativity. Furthermore, the gap between virtual and real workshops is filled thanks to the possibility to export standard object files for 3D printing. In addition, there is a direct link to connect to the online 3D printing service, shapeways.

“This new layer of precision, combined with Vive’s room-scale technology, paves the way for MakeVR Pro to become the primary 3D object modeling tool for professionals,” said Joel Breton, GM of Vive Studios. “Users can now manipulate objects with increased precision to take advantage of the fidelity and space that VR allows, much like the way carpenters and machinists work in their real-world shops.”

“While still a simple and intuitive solution to use, we wanted to ensure that MakeVR Pro provides anyone the ability to create content with precision and accuracy,” said Amir Rubin, Co-founder and CEO of Sixense. “Our collaboration with Vive Studios has made for a professional-grade creativity experience that provides a powerful yet easy way, for people ranging from 3D print enthusiasts to industry professionals, to build precision models while immersed in a virtual environment.“
