Software

One printer, one software

The interplay of hardware, printing resin, and software is an essential cornerstone for a reproducible and high-quality process. Think3D enables easy project creation with a single software interface. Developed by users for users, intuitive operation and remote accessibility were always prioritized during development.

The user interface Think3D is much more than just slicing software, it was programmed from the ground up and designed to meet the requirements of 2PP. In addition to real-time processing of the 3D object into printing instructions, the software offers a whole range of innovative features and widgets to maximize the 3D printing experience.

Data preparation

Harnessing cutting-edge technology, unparalleled versatility is provided by the user software Think3D, to elevate designs to the next level. Whether customized CAD objects are imported or predefined parameterized structures are utilized, a streamlined workflow tailored to industrial-grade precision is offered. Exploring a realm of limitless possibilities, features such as customizable arrays of objects, incorporating specialized modules such as lenses or gyroids are seamlessly integrated into print jobs. Additionally, the 3D preview is another benefit and allows the visualization of the designed print.

Parameters

The option to select predefined print profiles or create customized data sets is available. These profiles guarantee cost-efficient and high-quality print outcomes, precisely aligned with the selected objective-resin combination. Furthermore, parameters can be tailored for individual objects or power gradients can be implemented within an object. To achieve maximum adaptability, leverage the “custom data” function of the software to fine-tune parameters according to the respective part specifications and requirements.

Live view

Experience unparalleled process monitoring with our advanced camera systems. Witness the printing process in real time and leverage the integrated autofocus system for precision. Easily realign prefabricated structures with the assistance of our dual camera set-up. One camera captures the current print layer through the microscope objective, while the second provides an overhead view of the building platform. Gain full control and monitoring of the printing process at any time – even remotely.

Real-time printing

Our cutting-edge software and slicing algorithm processes all required data in real time, optimizing system manageability by minimizing stored data. The printing process on all UpNano printing platforms can be started instantly, eliminating the need for preprocessing imported files and allowing for very fast prototyping production in just 2 clicks.
