The toolbar icons in the Dremel 3D Software lets you
load, share, build, view, move, rotate, and scale your
objects.
Load – Click on "Load" and select a file from the
model files downloaded from Dremel3D.com. The
model that you selected will appear on the Dremel
3D20 home screen. The software's home screen is a
simulation of your Dremel 3D20's build platform.
3D Store – Clicking on "3D Store" will connect you to
Dremel3D.com with your default internet browser.
Build – Dremel 3D Software gives you the ability
to select build quality settings. This allows you to
customize both the build quality and build time.
a. Export Option – Saves your model file to local
drive or portable memory drive for building later.
b. Resolution Options – Models set to Standard
resolution will be built using the default settings.
"Standard" resolution builds will build quickly and
have good surface quality. Models set to "Fast"
resolution will be built with thicker layers and will
build faster. Models set to "Detailed" resolution
will have finer layers and will build more slowly.
c. Support – Select this checkbox to have your
object built with support structures. Dremel
3D20 software will automatically generate
supports for any overhanging sections of your
object. Supports will be easily removable once
your finished object is removed from the build
platform.
View – Changes your view of the Dremel 3D20 home
