XYZprint

XYZprint is a 3D printing application known for its fast slicing capabilities. It enables users to preview their 3D models in full color and monitor the printing progress in real time.

Printing Process:

1. Open XYZprint, navigate to the DASHBOARD, and select the connected 3D printer.
2. Import your desired 3D files.
3. Adjust the object's size as needed by clicking on it.
4. In the Print menu, configure print parameters such as material profile, nozzle diameter, and nozzle type.
5. Once parameters are set, click [PREPARE].
6. After preparation, verify the model is complete. Then, click [PRINT] or [SAVE]. The software displays estimated print time and filament usage.

XYZscan Color

XYZscan Color is a scanning software tool designed for 360-degree full-color 3D scanning, utilizing advanced 3D scanning technology.

Before starting, ensure the scan module and scan backboard are correctly installed on your 3D printer and that you are in scan mode via the control panel.

The main screen of XYZscan Color features:

• A. Main menu: For saving files, initiating scans, and configuring system settings, including tutorials and membership functions.
• B. Setting area: To adjust the scan environment and quality.

• D. Preview pane: Displays the live camera feed.

Scanning Procedure:

1. Ensure all settings are configured. Click [SCAN] in the bottom right corner to begin scanning.
2. Place the object to be scanned on the turntable.
3. As the software generates the point cloud and 3D model, use your mouse in the Preview pane to rotate, zoom in, or zoom out and review the scan results.
4. To cancel the scanning process, click the [ x ] button next to the progress bar.
