SpaceClaim Engineer 2016 now gives you an easier way to prepare your models for 3D printing. With the new STL Prep for 3D Printing module, you will enjoy all the benefits of an innovative, more intuitive 3D modeling solution for 3D printing.

Working with STL Files
- Analyze and Clean STL: Watertight & intersection analysis; generalized detection of holes, misaligned normals, co-incident triangles; repair STL for printing
- Decimation/reduction
- Cut & Combine parts (Boolean operations)
- Edit STL directly
Shelling & Creating Connecting Features
- Shelling: Less printing costs, less shipping costs, faster print times
- Creating Connecting Features: Make connecting pins or offsets to recombine the model after printing
- Converting to solid: Thickening, deleting, splitting, and more
Other Benefits
- Save and Export STL Files
- Import other faceted formats such as OBJ, cgr, AMF
