DESIGNING A 3D OBJECT

Every 3D print begins as a 3D model created in a 3D design software program.  There are a number of easy-to-use design software options available, many of which are free. 

Another way to get a file for step 2 (slicing software) is to download an existing STL/OBJ 3D file from the internet.

IMPORT AND SLICE 3D OBJECT

3D designed files (.STL/.OBJ) that are created in 3D design software, or downloaded from the internet, must be sliced into layers (G-code) which converts it into a format readable by your Dremel DigiLab 3D printer.

Using the slicing software you can modify settings like layer height, print speed, orientation, scale and in-fill, among others, to tailor the print of your 3D object to your liking. Once you’ve set these options you can send your file to the 3D printer.

SEND FILES TO PRINT

With Dremel 3DPrinterOS cloud based software, you are able to send your prints directly to the printer through a Wi-Fi connection.

With the Dremel DigiLab 3D Printer Slicer program, save the file to a USB drive and insert into the printer. You are able to copy the files from the USB and save directly on any 3D40 or 3D45 printer.
