Perform a secondary finishing pass to smooth top layer imperfections and create a perfectly flat finish.

Reduce unwanted marks and scars on the top surface of your part by leveraging unique retraction and movement behavior.

Intelligent motion planning creates a more consistent surface finish by carefully controlling the direction and order of infill toolpaths.

Advanced targeting allows precise customization over top layer properties to achieve perfectly sealed surfaces with the ideal surface finish.

The Live Preview option in Version 5.1 animates a 3D visual simulation of the print that stays in sync with the current progress of your printer. This real-time view provides unparalleled insights into the exact operations taking place on the machine.

This new functionality in Version 5.1 supports machines connected over USB, WiFi, or Ethernet, providing valuable feedback no matter how you choose to connect to your printer.

Efficiently import 3D model files and analyze the geometry for potential mesh errors that could impact the print. A powerful geometric engine gives you the capacity to handle massive multi-gigabyte files with tens of millions of triangles so that there are no limits to the complexity you can create. Detect and fix common issues including holes, thin walls, or self-intersections that would otherwise create significant problems during printing.

Move your models into the ideal printing position with best-in-class tools for orienting, arranging, and packing. Optimize build efficiency by nesting hundreds of parts on a single build platform, or interactively manipulate a single part to find the perfect orientation for improved print quality. Common issues such as out-of-bounds geometry or incorrectly positioned parts are automatically identified to prevent costly failures.

Patented support structure capabilities offer superior results with an unprecedented level of control. Automatically generate support structures with fine-tuned parameters, or completely customize support location and shape using rapid editing tools. Upon print completion, the sacrificial supports effortlessly separate from the final part with such impressive results, you have to try it to believe it!

The difference between a good print and a great print comes from the level of control you have over the printing process. Simplify3D offers extensive control capabilities far beyond other applications. Our unique process system enables streamlined settings customization for specific parts or regions within a single part. Intelligent software algorithms dynamically adjust common parameters including layer thickness or infill density throughout the print to reduce material usage without compromising our industry-leading build quality.

More than a decade of research and development has led to one of the fastest and most capable slicing engines ever designed. Precise machine-specific instructions are generated while incorporating complex real-world physics to optimize the quality and strength of each part. Build files are verified using our advanced Preview Mode which offers an incredibly realistic view of the exact size, speed, and properties of each additive instruction – generating valuable insights about the printing process before it even begins.

Simplify3D directly communicates with hundreds of popular 3D printers, allowing you to control and monitor your machines using USB, WiFi, or Ethernet connections. Initiate a new print or track important sensor readings from the comfort of your desktop. Perform critical maintenance tasks with ease using a robust machine interface that is customized for the capabilities of each unique printer.
