Sixense launches Kickstarter to launch 3D-printable design software

It’s going to get easier to create 3D designs and print the objects that you’ve created thanks to the combination of Sixense’s MakeVR design software and 3D printers.

Sixense Entertainment has launched Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign this morning to raise money for MakeVR, its virtual reality software that enables anyone to create 3D-printable objects by using wireless gesture-control devices with natural hand motions. The interesting thing that sets Sixense apart from other 3D-printing solutions is that it has both the software and hardware to make 3D printing much more accessible, intuitive, and useful, as it can enable ordinary consumers to design products that look as if they were professionally done.
