Installation

AccuWare is the data preparation software for AccuFab Printers. Which is independently developed by SHINING 3D. You can manipulate the model with positioning and orientation. And after that you can generate support structure for printing. Finally you can slice the model and send to printer. AccuWare is compatible with all AccuFab-Printers. The only difference is the sliced file format.AccuDesign is a built-in model creator. Which allows you to create model based on the scan data. You can add attachments such as text and frame, also you can create drain holes for the hollow model to save material for printing.

Accuracy Calibaration

Accuracy calibration is needed when users encounter accuracy or fitting issue. Since the printing material is sensitive to the environment status such as temperature and humidity. Which is causing the change of the sensitivity of the material curing. Compensation of scale and contour setting with the standard environment may not be perfect for different environments.

Accuracy Calibration Wizard
By clicking on the “Settings- Accuracy Calibration”, a window of “Accuracy Calibration Wizard ” will be open.

1. Click Print Calibration Model, and the platform displays the calibration model for slicing. User can go to slice directly. And start printing.
