Plasticity 2025.3 Updates Its Parametric Modeling
Plastic Software has released the new version 2025.3 of its application Plasticity, focused on precise modeling using CAD and NURBS. This update responds to community requests, adding key features and fixing bugs to stabilize the process of creating complex shapes. 🛠️
New Capabilities for Operating and Editing Geometry
Version 2025.3 introduces commands that expand control over models. The Shell tool can now generate faces with a thickness that you can define as uniform or variable. A new command, Pull, allows extruding faces following a specific vector or the normal of the surface itself, offering more flexibility.
Other improvements in editing include:- The option to Extend a surface until it collides with another solid body.
- The ability to Split faces using curves projected onto them.
- Greater control in the Array function, where you can now specify the exact number of copies and the distance between them.
"Testing the new Pull tool to stretch a face in an unexpected way was risky, but at least the Undo function works perfectly to revert my experiments." - User comment.
Optimize Performance and Export
This update also focuses on making the workflow more agile and efficient. A new algorithm has been implemented for Smoothing meshes, which not only speeds up this operation but generates higher-quality topologies. The system for Measuring distances and angles now saves a history and allows copying values to the clipboard.
Improvements in interface and compatibility:- Added support for exporting to the 3MF format, widely used in 3D printing.
- The interface allows Undoing changes within dialog boxes, even after adjusting numerical values.
- The materials library now displays thumbnails of the finishes, making it easier to choose the right one.
A Step Forward for Designers and Artists
With Plasticity 2025.3, Plastic Software consolidates its software as a powerful and accessible option for those who need to model with CAD precision but within an intuitive workflow. The new tools and performance optimizations are designed to remove obstacles and allow users to focus on creating without limits. 🚀
