One caution: while Simplif圓D software may be bundled with some 3D printers, it isn’t for others. MakerBot Desktop has strong integration with their content ecosystem if a majority of MakerBot owners switch to Simplif圓D, then this could cause a bit of dent in MakerBot’s ecosystem plans. We’re particularly interested in the addition of MakerBot’s latest machines, which otherwise are serviced by MakerBot’s own “Desktop” application. These additions show us that Simplif圓D means business when they say they want to provide slicing services for ALL 3D printers. Perhaps the most important update in this release is the addition of printing capability for several new 3D printer models that had not previously been supported by Simplif圓D. Check out their detailed post below for more info. There’s quite a few more minor improvements, particularly in the area of print statistics. This means you can add strength where it’s required in the print and reduce use of support material, too. Variable Support Density: The density of support structures can be varied by layer. The interior infill features can be made much thicker than the standard “one extrusion” that’s often seen elsewhere. Strong Thick Infill: Thicker hidden infill structures enable a stronger part with out sacrificing print time. The new Simplif圓D detects these scenarios and intelligently fills in the gaps. Thin Wall Intelligent Fill: Finally! A slicer that overcomes the annoying problem when a feature is small enough that the exterior surfaces don’t properly join together. The new version includes these added features: Our favorite feature of Simplif圓D is its speed slicing is almost instant, even for the most complex and large 3D models. If you haven’t tried it already, you definitely should: Simplif圓D replaces the slicing software that came with your 3D printer with a comprehensive 3D printer slicing tool that’s no doubt faster and more flexible.

Third-party 3D print slicer Simplif圓D released a new version, 2.2, with some terrific added features.
