Software

Built for high-performance printing.
Designed for usability.

Advanced 3D printing should open possibilities, not slow them down. Whether you’re advancing research, exploring prototypes or are moving toward production, the challenge is the same: complex geometries, precise parameters, and limited time to get it right. Think3D is built to make high-performance printing easier to control, easier to manage, and easier to repeat — so you can spend less time navigating complexity and more time turning ideas into results.

Think3D serves as an intelligent software interface that intuitively connects hardware, materials, and the printing process. Specifically designed to meet the requirements of 2PP, Think3D combines real-time slicing with a range of innovative tools and features that streamline workflows and optimize print results.

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.

STL files can be imported from preferred design programs
Predefined parametrized structures, including aspheric lenses
Innovative software features such as subjobs, priorities, and arrays
Enhanced functionality with additional software modules
Different print modes for perfect results

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.

Part dimension can be controlled and adjusted to meet exact requirements
Ensure prints are precisely aligned and positioned with perfection
Fine-tune laser power and energy distribution settings to optimize results
Effortlessly manage scan velocity adjustments, stitching and outline mode
Individually select quality parameters of objects to maximize throughput

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.

Advanced process monitoring is ensured by a 20 MPixel sample camera
Precise alignment is facilitated by a 5 MPixel top view camera along with the sample camera
An integrated autofocus system for substrate detection and tilt compensation

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.
