Import and Manipulate Your 3D Model
The first step in the 3D printing process is to import the model
you want to build. You can obtain 3D models from http://www.
thingiverse.com* or you can make a model yourself using a CAD
package like SketchUp or AUTOCAD®. Save the 3D model file on
your computer or storage device as an .stl or .obj file.
Click Import in the Models section and navigate to the folder
where you saved your file.
You can also drag-and-drop file(s) onto the Build Table. The
software will automatically position and center your imported
model on the Build Table.
Settings and Processes for 3D Printing
MP Delta Manual ENG +.indd 27
In the first step of the workflow, you
imported a model. The next step is to
define a Process that specifies how your
model will be constructed.
A Process is a collection of settings
including speed, size, support material,
quality levels, etc. Some models are
built with one process, while more
complicated models may involve multiple
processes throughout the build sequence.
The first Process will be configured
automatically based on the printer
selected in the Configuration Assistant.
You're free to make any adjustments you
desire, but it's a great starting point!
To make adjustments to your Process,
double-click on the Process or click Edit
Process Settings. This will open the FFF(
Fused Filament Fabrication) Settings
window.
Click Show
Advanced at the
bottom of the FFF
Settings window to
view additional
options and settings
that are available
within Simplify3D
Software.
Typically, a 45° or
greater overhang will
benefit from support
material underneath
it. Simplify3D rovides
a unique ability to
customize your
supports, with add
and delete support
buttons.
