One printer, one software
The interplay of hardware, printing resin, and software is an essential cornerstone for a reproducible and high-quality process. Think3D enables easy project creation with a single software interface. Developed by users for users, intuitive operation and remote accessibility were always prioritized during development.
The user interface Think3D is much more than just slicing software, it was programmed from the ground up and designed to meet the requirements of 2PP. In addition to real-time processing of the 3D object into printing instructions, the software offers a whole range of innovative features and widgets to maximize the 3D printing experience.
Josef Thalhammer, Team Lead Software Development
“For us, functionality and intuitiveness are top priorities. Think3D has been custom-built to meet the specific needs of 2PP, spanning from the proprietary slicer to the user-friendly interface.”
- STL files can be imported from preferred design programs
- Predefined parametrized structures, including aspheric lenses
- Innovative software features such as subjobs, priorities, and arrays
- Enhanced functionality with additional software modules
- Different print modes for perfect results
Data preparation
Harnessing cutting-edge technology, unparalleled versatility is provided by the user software Think3D, to elevate designs to the next level. Whether customized CAD objects are imported or predefined parameterized structures are utilized, a streamlined workflow tailored to industrial-grade precision is offered. Exploring a realm of limitless possibilities, features such as customizable arrays of objects, incorporating specialized modules such as lenses or gyroids are seamlessly integrated into print jobs. Additionally, the 3D preview is another benefit and allows the visualization of the designed print.

Parameters
The option to select predefined print profiles or create customized data sets is available. These profiles guarantee cost-efficient and high-quality print outcomes, precisely aligned with the selected objective-resin combination. Furthermore, parameters can be tailored for individual objects or power gradients can be implemented within an object. To achieve maximum adaptability, leverage the “custom data” function of the software to fine-tune parameters according to the respective part specifications and requirements.

- Ensure prints are precisely aligned and positioned with perfection
- Fine-tune laser power and energy distribution settings to optimize results
- Effortlessly manage scan velocity adjustments, stitching and outline mode
- Individually select quality parameters of objects to maximize throughput
