"Once an amazing piece of software, but now lacking many updates."

2.5/5

What do you like best about Simplify3D?

S3D is pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. I chose it initially for ease of changing multiple layers and layer heights throughout a print to speed it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Simplify3D?

I dislike the lack of updates and the fact that many free and open source slicers have caught up and surpassed it in terms of capabilities. I still use S3D out of familiarity though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Simplify3D:

Get it if they update it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you?

It really needs some new features and supports, more custom infill patterns, some live views, maybe a sort of printer timeline to be able to insert pauses and things if you need to insert something like a nut into a print. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
