3D Sprint

What 3D Sprint is

3D Sprint is Windows software for preparing and optimizing CAD and polygon data, then managing additive manufacturing on 3D Systems plastic 3D printers. Its listed printer technologies include color-jet printing, digital light processing, multi-jet printing, stereolithography, and selective laser sintering. It can import native CAD files from industry-leading CAD systems, analyze geometry, correct some CAD and STL translation errors, and provide manual polygon editing and hole filling. Preparation tools include support generation, build placement, 3D nesting, printability checks, slicing, and estimates for build time and material. Users can submit jobs, manage printer queues and priorities, and view connected, networked, or shared printers. The Basic license is complimentary with purchases of specific 3D Systems plastic printers, and a 30-day trial is available; paid-option pricing is on request. Pro adds advanced fixing and nesting, more support editing, custom printability checks, scan ordering, and a user-defined SLS cage. Pro upgrades an existing Basic license, and add-on modules also require an existing 3D Sprint license. Basic online activation licenses can be upgraded to offline, network, or dark-site licenses.
