PreForm alternatives
PreForm is a design, simulation, and optimization software for 3D Printers. It’s a combination of CAD, CAM, and 3D printing simulation software wrapped in a new workflow-oriented user interface. Start your CAD model in this tool, then directly export STL or OBJ to open in your favorite slicer. Its aimed at manufacturers and engineers who want to develop and optimize 3D printing processes prior to printing.
You can use its physics-based simulation tools to optimize and verify your designs before printing. PreForm comes bundled with easy-to-use print profiles for a variety of machines. It gives you the ability to prepare your model for printing and print, then returns to edit it later in Preform. The tool is designed for those who want a flexible workflow and those who want a tool that is easy to use and built to last.
