Prepare for 3D Printing

Easy to Use MakerBot MakerWare is built right in.

• Rafts: An additional, stabilizing surface at the print’s base. Rafts help ensure adhesion to the build plate and better print quality.
• Supports: Thin, pull-away, support material for overhangs or between print elements. Supports allow you to print more complex models.
• Slice: Quickly create the layers and instructions your printers will use to print your 3D objects.
• Layouts for Quick Printing: Save your layouts of pre-sliced files right to your library. Grab one later for a single-click quick print.
• Preview Your 3D Print: Get time and material estimates, see print layers, and follow the projected path of the extruder. All before actually printing.
