DiceMaker

DiceMaker is not some new Poker-type game. On the contrary, it's an interesting application that allows users to design their very own 3D printer-friendly die. It's actually fun to use if you'd like to design or simply reimagine a board game. It can be used with other projects as well. The program itself might look simple at first, but the hidden layers of calculations and adjustments are hidden away from the user's eye.

The idea behind this program is to create your own die. This means that you can either reconfigure the writing on the die's face, or you could actually import unique images to paste on it. The selection of types of dice available is pretty big. Depending on the number of faces you need your creation to have, you'll have more space to show your creativity or a rather compact area to redesign. The writing on your dice can be adjusted to be engraved or superficially painted over.

The program does not limit the user to creating one single die or a pair. On the contrary, it encourages you to add as many designs as possible. Each of these can be exported conveniently to STL format or Standard Tessellation Language, the best known 3D printing file type out there. Thus, your virtual model won't have to remain a simple creation of your imagination. It can become a reality thanks to this program and its export perk.

DiceMaker might not seem like an important program. Many might dismiss it on account of not dealing with dice, yet for those who understand how important these objects are to a game or similar project, will also understand how innovative and helpful this program really is.
