3DPrintTech is CAD plugin for model splitting and packing for efficient batch printing. It helps the user to print objects larger than build volume of a 3D printer. App splits the design of large objects into smaller connectable pieces, which connect to each other via special 3D printed connectors. These connectors can be customized by the user in several ways, including radius size, distance between connectors, and the length/taper angle of each connector.
3DPrintTech has unique feature of 3D Packing. 3D Packing helps user to automatically pack small objects into one print batch that will fit onto 3D printers build platform. This helps user to save time, energy and money.
3DPrintTech also provides the options of Scale, Explode and Export
Also user has option to use his/her own customized 3D printer.
