Spec score 7.9 #5 of 20 in Additive Manufacturing Software

What it is

3D Sprint prepares CAD and polygon data for additive manufacturing and manages print jobs on 3D Systems plastic 3D printers. It imports native CAD files from industry-leading CAD systems, analyzes part geometry, corrects some CAD and STL translation errors, and offers manual polygon editing and hole filling. Preparation tools include automatic support generation, build placement, 3D nesting, printability checks, slicing, and estimates for build time and material. The software supports color-jet, digital light processing, multi-jet, stereolithography, and selective laser sintering printers, as well as resin slicing and multi-material printing. Users can submit jobs, manage queues and priorities, and view directly connected, networked, or shared printers. The Windows product accepts formats including STL, OBJ, PLY, STEP, IGES, and 3DS. Basic is a complimentary license included with purchases of specific 3D Systems plastic printers. A 30-day trial is available; paid pricing is on request. Pro upgrades an existing Basic license, and add-ons require an existing 3D Sprint license.
