Easily create and print 3D objects in Windows 8.1

Maybe you don't know that Windows 8.1 is actually native support for 3D printing. Windows 8.1 enables users to plug and Play 3D printers, identify 3D file formats, and connect 3D hardware printer applications. Microsoft now has a new app called 3D Builder that allows everyone to create and print three-dimensional objects on Windows 8.1. Microsoft wrote on an official blog:

3D Builder has an object directory that you can use to create all kinds of ornaments and toys and other things. Its simple, clean user interface allows you to scale, rotate, and adjust what you want to print. In addition, you can add multiple objects to a printer, or even transfer objects to another printer to create a new product. Creating good 3D print objects in other applications or downloading good print objects on the Web can easily be transferred to 3D builder applications, even with touch operations.

According to Microsoft, 3D Systems, MakerBot and Tiertime will support 3D printing on Windows 8.1 to prepare for this year's sales season. You can even see the MakerBot 3D products in the Microsoft Store.
