Autodesk has tied up with Microsoft to embed its 3D printing platform in Windows 10, and that it intends to make its 3D modelling software interoperable with Microsoft’s mixed reality environment, Microsoft HoloLens. In the first initiative, Autodesk will embed its Spark 3D printing software platform in Windows 10. This effort will provide Windows users with direct access to optimized and more reliable 3D printing experiences that streamline the additive manufacturing process for a variety of software, material, and printer choices. Autodesk will make the Spark APIs available for free to the Microsoft developer community to build upon, extending the reach and growth of the 3D printing industry.
