“Simplify3D software has made it possible to go from ZERO 3D printing knowledge to an object in a student’s hand in two class periods. We’ve been printing monograms, necklace pendants, logos, tools, Christmas ornaments, coasters, robot parts, and much more. It’s great to have a student work on a model design, and start printing in under 60 minutes.”
Steven Kuensting – STEM Coordinator for Nerinx High School
Focus on Teaching, Not Tinkering
Hassle-Free Setup
Simplify3D includes hundreds of pre-configured 3D printer profiles so that you can achieve exceptional results right out-of-the-box with no tinkering required.
Project Planning Made Easy
Accurately plan your next lesson before you start 3D printing using the built-in statistics that show you how long each print will take, the amount of material it will use, and more.
Consistent Results
Simplify3D automatically saves every project into a single file making it easy to organize your successful print settings and ensure that you achieve consistent results every time.
Engage Students
Pre-Print Simulation
Learn how different factors affect your part and identify potential improvements before sending it to the 3D printer. The print preview mode includes several coloring options, real-time updates, and animation controls.
Machine Controls
Manually control your 3D printer and learn how your machine communicates with the software throughout the print.
Software Wizards
