We are happy to announce that Simplify3D version 3.1 now is available as a free upgrade for all existing ZYYX users. All you need to do is download the latest version from the Simplify 3D Website.

The new release includes many new features and improvements to the software platform including:

Intuitive Editing of Internal Supports

Simplify3D has always included some of the best support generation tools available, including the ability to customize the size and location of your support structures. The new release combines this customization functionality with the cross-section tool, allowing you to easily look inside your models and edit internal supports that would otherwise be hidden from the outside.

Improved Automated Mesh Repair

Many 3D models can have mesh errors or defects that will cause problems during printing. Simplify3D attempts to repair many of these common issues behind-the-scenes to make things easier for new users. The latest release continues to improve this functionality, allowing even more models to be printed successfully without user involvement.

Continued Improvements to the Slicing Engine

Improved filtering for small movements during toolpath generation as well as improving the overall slicing engine.
