The new version of PreForm introduces a few tricks, such as measuring tool, better camera control and the ability to group objects in SLA mode

Download the latest version of PreForm.

Measuring Tool

With scaling CAD files to print them 3D, it is sometimes useful to know how thick a wall is or how far 2 elements are apart. Previously this had to be viewed in CAD software, but now this can be done directly in PreForm.

Camera Check

The “standard” viewcube camera check is now also available in PreForm. This allows the cubus to be used as a camera “button” and can easily be rotated from a standard angle to another.

Group objects

It is now possible to group objects in SLA mode to move them together. This was already possible in SLS mode.
