Don Seidel Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Unfortunately, 3-D printing with Vectorworks has remained a very small niche market. We would very much like to do a lot of 3-D printing, but the process is so cumbersome we don’t do any at all. Much as a Vectorworks has done a plug-in for twinmotion, making it a very excellent workflow, we need something in the same way for 3-D printing. If VW could partner with one or more 3-D printing companies to make a simplified workflow, this would be a huge boost for both the supplier(s) and Vectorworks Users. I would bet, less than 1% of vectorworks users have access to a 3-D printer that will produce models of any practical size, let alone the time involved.

BartHays Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Hi Don, I've done a bunch of 3D printing from VW models, Exporting STL files and bringing them into your preferred slicers works well. Cura being the slice I have worked with the most. Maybe post a typical file to see how we can help. Bart Quote Link to comment
