SOFTWARE
MakerWare is the ideal software to drive your MakerBot—and not just because it's pretty and simple to use. Makerbot are always improving their slicing engine, the algorithm that tells your MakerBot what to make and how to make it, so you get stronger, faster, more consistent results.
Use MakerWare to:
Open multiple
.stl and
.obj files at once and arrange them on the build platform.
Scale, move, and rotate individual models or groups of models at once. Set up two-color prints for your MakerBot Replicator or Replicator 2X with new easy dual extrusion integration.
