Firstly, what is special about Anarkik3DDesign programme is that you can touch and feel your digital 3D model as you manipulate it. This is ‘haptics’ and happens via the 3D haptic device used instead of a 2D mouse or pad.

There are a couple of ways that you can join us and become an Anarkik Creator, producing amazingly original 3D models to 3D print.

  • Purchase the haptic device and the software licence to download and activate Anarkik3DDesign on your own laptop, PC or Mac.
  • If you are in the UK, we loan out the haptic device and the software licence to download and activate Anarkik3DDesign on your own laptop, PC or Mac.

Anne Boylan: “Anarkik3DDesign ….. allowed an unexpected ‘flow’ of ideas that came surprisingly close to experimental studio work. I can now say that Anarkik3DDesign is established as part of my practice!” (here is more about Anne and her work)

Discover why this is very intuitive way of 3D modelling! The haptic device provides two very important interactions. It enables you to use your sense of touch and feel (haptics). This is the very real and physical sensation of touching and feeling as you manipulate your three dimensional model. It also enables you to use your proprioceptive sense for interacting and moving your cursor in three dimensions. This is how we interact in the real world. This way of working haptically is fun and enjoyable and enables you to be unique!

By using a haptic device you quickly tap into this more natural way of working on computer, with all the advantages that digital provides, not least undo/redo, copy/paste, share, mirror, slice, scale, subtract, change colour, etc.. (videos here). Best of all Anarkik3DDesign’s haptic integration provides a non complex interface so it is quick and easy to get into and start being creative within an hour! Anarkik3DDesign is optimised for the process of 3D printing.

  • Purchase the whole kit:
    • Anarkik3D’s Cloud9 haptic 3D modelling software (for both PC and Mac) from here,
    • the Falcon haptic device via this link. Or purchase secondhand.
  • If you are in the UK, Anarkik3D has a scheme whereby you can loan the kit for a monthly fee and a returnable deposit. More info here. If you are a member of Applied Arts Scotland, here is our special offer.
  • Classes and Masterclasses: Anarkik Creation’s Ann Marie Shillito, CEO of Anarkik3D, provides bespoke training, classes and masterclasses in Edinburgh. Please get in touch with her to discuss your individual requirements.

Ann Marie Shillito is CEO of Anarkik3D and a designer-maker/applied artist in her own right. She enriches her work by using 2nd life materials, either for the 3D printer filament or by embedding/framing precious waste material into her work. Her blog posts (‘Sustainable Me’) cover this work, and information about responsible practice is shared in her courses and masterclasses. She is a member of Making Design Circular.
