3D Printing | Formlabs Software
PreForm is Formlabs print preparation software and this is where you’ll start your Formlabs print journey once you’ve designed the model you want to print. PreForm is free to download and easy to learn, it uses advanced, proprietary calculations to generate supports and optimise print settings for each printed part. You can update your printers Firmware from PreForm too, every PreForm installation includes the latest version of your printers Firmware, so you can stay up to date.
Your PreForm workflow will look like this:
Step #1 - All good 3D prints start with a good CAD model. Ensure yours is primed for 3D printing and export it as a valid STL or OBJ file from your CAD software.
Step #2 - Import your STL or OBJ file into PreForm. PreForm is available for Windows or Mac. You can check out the latest version for your Formlabs printer and download it from the Formlabs website directly here. NB* We recommend you keep your PreForm version up to date.
Step #3 - Use PreForm to set up your prints layout, orientation and supports.
Step #4 - Once your set up is complete send the .FORM file that PreForm will create to your Formlabs printer and start to print!
