CUBIFY SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

The Cubify Software allows you manipulate your design before sending it to the Cube for printing. It simulates the Cube's
print pad so you can orient, scale, re-size and rotate the 3D print to get the best result when printing.
Become familiar with the software and understand the functions before starting your first print.

Key File Types

• STL Files: A 3-dimensional solid Computer-Aided Design (CAD) file that describes the geometry to be printed. This
is typically output by the design tool or software being used.
• Creation Files: These files are 3-D models that can be downloaded from Cubify.com and are optimized for your Cube.
Import your creation file into the Cubify Software and click on "Build" to prepare your creation for print.
• Cube File: This is the machine code file that the Cube printer will read to build your creation.
