Desktop 3D printer manufacturerRaise3Dhas announced the launch of the latest version of its slicing software, the ideaMaker 4.2.0 Beta.
最新更新旨在与公司的Ideamaker图书馆软件进行一键集成，并提供新功能，例如布尔操作和搜索工具栏。版本4.2.0还带来了几个错误修复，以获得更精致的用户体验。
一个多合一的Rise3D生态系统
RAISH3D以其自豪为自豪“多合一”软件投资组合, touting a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates all stages of the 3D printing workflow. TheIDAMAKERslicer是难题的第一部分，允许用户在逐层基础上定位模型并自定义打印参数。
Once file preparation is complete, sliced models can be imported into the firm’s print management software,RaiseCloud. The program provides users with an avenue to remotely send prints to their fleet of 3D printers and monitor the process in real-time. Once initiated, builds can be controlled through both the website and an easy-to-use app.
The third and final Raise3D software product is theIDAMAKERLibrary. Launched back in May 2020, the Library is an online platform that can be used to access pre-prepared slicing profiles for a wide variety of printers and filaments, both from Raise3D and third-party firms. It also offers tools such as a profile generator and can be used to store STLs and sliced files in a cloud-based environment.
Rish3D首席执行官Edward Feng表示：“我们一直致力于提供提高生产率的多合一解决方案的目标。以Ideamaker图书馆为宝贵的资产，以及Ideamaker和Raisecloud的组合，我们很高兴现在可以提供这个完整的解决方案和平滑的工作流程，这将是制造业的游戏改变者。”
与ideaMaker 4.2.0,切片机的连接the Library is stronger than ever. Users will now be able to access the Library directly from the ideaMaker interface and select their desired slicing profiles with just a single click. Prior to the update, users would have had to download the profiles from the Library first, and then import them into ideaMaker manually. The new Library connectivity can be found in ideaMaker under ‘Configuration Wizard’.
Ideamaker 4.2.0中的新功能
Version 4.2.0 also comes complete with a few new features and bug fixes to enhance the slicing experience. The new Boolean Operations feature enables users to generate intersections, unions, and subtractions of 3D models. The feature is ultimately designed to allow for geometry experimentation without first having to switch to a dedicated 3D modeling software, making for a more streamlined user experience. According to Raise3D, ideaMaker is the first FFF slicer on the market to offer Boolean Operations.
The update also equips the slicer with a new Search Toolbar, which can be used to rapidly locate certain parameters via a keyword search. With a UI as densely packed as ideaMaker’s, text-based search is expected to make print preparation an absolute breeze.

High-quality software is just as important as hardware when it comes to advancing additive manufacturing. Just last month, 3D printing software developerDyndritelaunched aset of new software APIsenabling 3D printer manufacturers to more easily implement advanced features such as support-free 3D printing. Developed in collaboration with thecompany’s OEM customers, partners, and members of the Dyndrite Developer Council (DDC), the new toolsets are primarily aimed at smaller-scale manufacturers with limited funding and resources.
Elsewhere, in the design space, engineering software developerAutodeskrecently announced a huge生成设计扩展的价格降低80％其Fusion 360 CAD软件。AI驱动的扩展名于2018年以每年8,000美元的年度订阅为每年订购，除了主要的主要工程和制造公司以外的任何人都无法访问。
