At MakerBot, we are continuously developing our products to give our customers the best possible 3D printing experience. The latest example is MakerBot Desktop 3.8, which allows you to print objects 30% faster and with stronger infill structures. <\/p>\n
UPGRADE TO MAKERBOT DESKTOP 3.8 NOW!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n “MakerBot’s latest software update allows our customers to turn their ideas into physical objects faster by combining high-speed printing with one-click 3D printing<\/em>,” said Nadav Goshen, President of MakerBot. “MakerBot’s leading 3D printing ecosystem<\/em> combines hardware with software and applications to provide a seamless 3D printing experience unlike any other in the industry today.” <\/p>\n Better and faster 3D printing MakerBot Desktop offers several different fill textures, allowing you to optimize your prints for strength or speed. With MakerBot Desktop 3.8, the “Diamond” fill texture has also been added. In tests with this texture, most designs (e.g. Brilliant Cut Diamond<\/a> by Cymon) became firmer and printing time was reduced by 30% compared to MakerBot Desktop 3.6.* <\/p>\n MakerBot has an in-house team that is dedicated to continuously improving print speed and quality through new slicing algorithms. Slicing is the process that converts 3D designs into 3D printable files. The product of this teamwork is the new “diamond” filling structure, which allows the extruder to move faster when making turns and curves. The “diamond” infill structure is also printed more consistently than other infill structures, which also makes it structurally stronger. <\/p>\n The improvements in print speed are a result of the “diamond” infill structure combined with the variable layer heights introduced in MakerBot Desktop 3.7. With the variable layer heights, the interior\/infill of a 3D print can be printed with a higher layer height than the outer layers\/shell. The higher the layer height of the infill structure is set, the faster the overall print will be. <\/p>\n
