About Simplify3D
3D printing slicing software controls every aspect of your 3D print. It translates 3D models into instructions your printer understands. Better instructions mean better prints, so a simple software upgrade makes all the difference in the world. In fact, more than 90% of experts agree that 3D printing software has the greatest impact on print quality, even more so than the 3D printer itself! Engineers, architects, designers, and research professionals rely on Simplify3D to deliver exceptional results with complete control over the printing process. Passionate entrepreneurs, makers, and designers take advantage of powerful software controls that unlock new capabilities and take their designs to the next level. Professors, teachers and students learn one software interface to control all their 3D printers. Extensive online resources keep students challenged throughout the learning process.
