netfabb Studio Professional


Advanced 3D Printing software at an affordable price

netfabb Studio Professional is an affordable mesh edit, repair, analysis and slicing software for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing. Intended for multiple installations, netfabb Studio is complemented by Professional and Premium Tools to tailor the capabilities of individual seats while maintaining a common software platform within the organisation.

For multiple users
netfabb Studio Professional is priced at a very affordable level to enable organisations to install multiple seats to make 3D Printing software commonly available across the organisation and include managers and engineers who need more than only a viewer to keep track of what is going on. In combination with the netfabb Studio Basic, it creates a common 3D Printing platform to be installed in an unlimited number of seats, making it available for everyone.

Advanced Mesh Edit and Repair
The mesh edit and repair tools of netfabb Studio Professional are powerful and can fix most errors often associated with export from CAD format to STL. Damaged files can result in failed builds and efficient fixing of input files will result in a higher success rate of builds. The advanced repair tools include the creation of individual automatic repairs, the smoothing of rough surfaces and the splitting and removal of self-intersections

File reduction
If the original file is too large to pack multiple parts in your build platform, the triangle reduction function of netfabb Studio Professional can reduce the file size as needed. Often the original CAD file contains much more data than what is feasible to 3D Print, and reduction of the file size can be done without visible effects on the produced part. In manufacturing and tooling, this function needs to be used with assessment of potential loss of tolerances and the user interface enables maximum tolerances to be set.

 

Example: 56 MB / 1,162,000 triangles    -->    15 MB / 310,000 triangles    -->    1.2 MB / 25,500 triangles    -->    42 kB / 818 triangles

Surface cutting
The new surface cutting tool allows you to draw lines on the surface of your part, insert them into the mesh and thereby cut the surface with a defined cutting line.

Extrude surfaces
This tool allows you to extrude surfaces or selected triangles. Effectively, you move the selection by any chosen distance in any chosen direction.

Boolean operations
The unique boolean functions of netfabb Studio Professional offer a precise boolean algorithm for high quality merging, subtraction and intersection.

Free cutting
With this new tool, you can define cutting planes individually and independently from the three main axes. You can cut whole parts or only sections of parts with these planes.

Split Large Files
If your STL files are very complex, scale and split them into several parts before opening them. Thus, not the whole part has to be loaded at once.

Compatible with most 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing systems
netfabb Studio Professional can be used together with most 3D Printers and Additive Manufacturing systems and offers a very useful complement to the machine supplied software.

Work with 3D and 2D file formats
netfabb Studio Professional can import from and export to several 3D and 2D file formats including STL, X3D, GTS, Wavefront Object, SLI, CLI, SLC and SSL.
With the additional tool Slice Commander, netfabb can also create the 2D file format CLS and image files with the formats PNG, SVG, BMP and DXF.

Mobility
netfabb Studio can synchronize and exchange files with netfabb Mobile, the netfabb iPhone application for STL viewing and management. This enables you to download files for review anywhere you go and easily transfer the files when back in the office. netfabb Mobile is also a fantastic presentation tool on the road.
