Exciting update! π Coming soon to the App Store: PrintTo3D v3.31! π Explore the new p3d-file format for effortless object arrangement storage. No more mental translations to inch or Fahrenheitβchoose imperial units as preference. #PrintTo3D#TechUpdate
π’ Breaking News: For users experiencing start errors, relief has arrived with the latest v3.30 release! π Upgrade through your local app store for enhanced performance during startup. Your seamless experience awaits! π #TechUpdate#OptimizedPerformance
Exciting news! π PrintTo3D v3.27 is now available, featuring localization in multiple languages. This means more users can fully enjoy and explore the app! πβ¨ #PrintTo3D#Update
@phosforia The primary function of PrintTo3D is model slicing into gcode. Although the internal implementation exports to STL, we haven't imagined the need of our users to make it as feature available. Thanks for your proposal.
@phosforia Development is currently under reconsideration as we assess the market and evaluate potential improvements. For instance, we are closely monitoring the progress of active subscriptions. Stay tuned for updates!
π’ PrintTo3D users, we've got some great news! π With V3.25, we introduced SW update check on every app start, but we've discovered that our app is running so stable that app starts rarely are happening. That's why V3.26 now helps you stay up to date by checking once a day.
Check out our technology preview showcasing a lattice-boltzmann-simulation of filament extrusion, complete with liquid extrusion phase, temperature diffusion, and solidification. The simulation is voxel-based. And the coolest part? It's running on an M1 iPad. #simulation
Great news! Our team has identified an issue with volume/surface calculations for objects with more than 1000 triangles and we've corrected it in v3.25. As a result, the data is now even more precise.
Exciting news for 3D printing enthusiasts! Our latest app version v3.24 now includes the ability to load and display gcode files - available exclusively for our subscribers. Purchase a subscription today to access this exciting new feature. #3Dprinting#appupdates#subscription
Release v3.23 is with Apple: Sidebar revamped to replace problematic #SwiftUI List. User permission now requested before opening external links. Left Dock transformed into a robust toolbox with unit, position, euler angles, scale, and rotation mode adjustments. #appdevelopment
Just has been pushed out a bugfix release: In slice view, the slices have started to show a flow like flickering, as soon as any slice type filter was set. Hope nobody is missing this stunning visual effect. The phenomenon was introduced with the previous version v3.20
Version 3.21 provides you with updates for better performance: TouchPad support, unlimited undo/redo, multiple file import, auto resize for large/small files. #ProductivityBoost#TechUpdates
V3.19 strategy: 1. create list of slices 2. render the scene 3. update slice visibility from render result 4. check ALL slices for the next list. V3.20 uses a smarter approach: instead of checking ALL slices, only slices on the list of step 1 are checked. Great #SpeedUp
Technical background: One of our often used test STL file yields approx. 8 Mio. filament segments after slicing. For onscreen display, every slice is translated into eight triangles. For a full view, 64 Mio. triangles would need to be rendered at every frame with 60 frames/s.
Now the strategy is to identify from last frame, those 100-200k which must be rendered again and explore e.g. 10% of the 8Mio., if those have come into view. This process is now repeated on every frame. So overall 90% reduced load, which Apple great GPUs can much better live with
As another great speed improvement targeting A9 and A10 devices for slice view has been found, decision has been made to release it. While Apple is reviewing, reliability tests on an older iPad with A10 chip are continuously running. v3.20 should come out soon. #Speedup#3Dslicer
@VH_LMDV Would it be a solution for you, if PrintTo3D - after loading - would offer a function to reduce the number of triangles by compromising on resolution ?
The next release 3.19 provides improvements specifically for devices with A9 and A10 chips: better print object selection, support of large files with millions of triangles, fix for minor flickering in slice view (workaround for gpu issue). #3DPrinting#TechUpdates#Support
@VH_LMDV The updated app v3.19 is now undergoing our tests. This version can load our 240MB test file on an older iPad Pro (6th Generation). Just slicing is not possible due to memory limitations on this old device. On an M1 iPad works well :-)
