SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–After two months on the road, the 3DRV: Driven by Design tour has started to reveal the many ways companies and individuals are using 3D design, reality capture, and fabrication technologies to shape the world around them.

TJ McCue, the host of the 3DRV tour and an author, is also working to raise awareness about 3D technology and educate people on how they can use these tools—many of which are free or low-cost.

“From everyday consumers to business owners, people find 3D (scanning, printing, designing) fascinating, and sometimes a bit confusing. But when we start talking about it, they're always curious, engaged, and genuinely interested in learning more,” said McCue.

The 3DRV road tour, which kicked off on May 16th, 2014, and is sponsored by Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), HP, NVIDIA, Stratasys, FARO, and Jayco, will make over 100 stops across the U.S. in eight months. The first leg of the journey has already highlighted diverse applications of 3D technology—from Maker Faire events to building a lunar lander, 3D printing in space, and modeling clean air systems for operating rooms. Other examples include personal manufacturing with Monkey Likes Shiny, laser scanning a Starbucks, and artists using free 3D design apps and 3D printing. There’s also been work on improving infrastructure through 3D design and simulation.

“There's innovation happening all over the country, and it's giving us a glimpse into where the future of making things is heading,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president at Autodesk. “This tour aligns perfectly with our mission to help everyone design and create whatever they can imagine.”

In just 69 days, McCue has driven 4,627 miles, made 32 stops, consumed 207 cups of coffee, and written 33 blog posts. “There's definitely a strong pulse out there. It quickens when people realize we're on the edge of a real revolution in making things—and that it's open to them. From government agencies to small business owners, 3D technology in all its forms—scanning, printing, designing—is something people are really excited about,” added McCue. “After six weeks on the road, it's clear that manufacturing isn't just for factories anymore. With today's affordable and accessible tools, anyone can be their own designer and manufacturer.”
