The power of CADspan is the geometry resurfacer - a new approach to file preparation for 3D printing. Rather than assume that the input data has been created with a solid modeling program and the file might need repair, repositioning, slicing or scaling, CADspan simply takes the approach that what you see on your screen looks like a model that should be printable.

The CADspan engine uses your geometry to perform a virtual 'shrink-wrap' and outputs an entirely new STL file that describes the exterior of your CAD file. This new STL file is a single, solid object, ready to 3D print. The Plugin also provides several tools to ease the process of preparing a model for 3D printing:

♦ Resurfacer: Shrink wrap a model into one continuous, solid mesh

♦ STL Import/Export

♦ 3D Print Visualization Style: A visual style that highlights problem areas in a model

♦ Layerize tool: Easily move all geometry within components and groups to a layer

♦ Smooth/Unsmooth: Toggle smoothing on a model's rounded geometry

♦ Free Version for personal use and small applications
