3D Printing Help Centre

3D PRINTING HELP CENTRE

In the 123-3D help centre, we answer all your questions about 3D software and printer settings, problems you may experience during or after 3D printing and other 3D-related topics.

Where can I find free 3D printer software?

Before you can start 3D printing, you need certain software. You will need software to design 3D objects, a slicer software and a 3D printer host software - the software you need to connect the printer to your computer. It often happens that the slicer software and the 3D printer host software are bundled in the same 3D printer software.

When purchasing your 3D printer, you often also receive associated software, but there is also a lot of software available online. You will have to pay for some software programs, but there is also very suitable free software available.
