Application overview

3D Sprint is a new generation printer client and 3D application. It enables fast and powerful control over the print layout and simulation as well as print job management and queue. 3D Sprint is also your printer connection and management tool.

3D Sprint is divided into several modules:

	Import 3D model files. Prepare files before printing. Reposition parts Fix parts with issues. Split parts to print separately. Hollow, offset or thicken parts. Do boolean operation on parts. Combine subparts into a single part, or split a part into its subparts.
	Import 3D model files. Connect all supported 3D System printers. Manage printers with specific printer tools. Layout print. Add features for printing, specific to each printer technology. Simulate and estimate printing.
	Manage all connected printers queue. See print warnings and other information. See print time estimation and finishing time. Add print jobs directly from file.
