The process-based workflow is what hooked me. Being able to assign completely different settings—layer height, speed, infill, and temperature—to different sections of the same model is something I haven’t found done as well anywhere else. Custom support placement is also excellent: supports release cleanly, the surface finish is preserved, and I’ve stopped dreading post-processing. The slicer is fast, and the pre-print preview is detailed enough to catch real problems before they happen. Setup was painless too; my printer was on the compatibility list out of the box, with sane defaults. For an intermediate user who doesn’t want to spend hours dialing in profiles, it strikes a great balance between control and usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? The update cadence is the main frustration. Free alternatives like PrusaSlicer and Orca push fixes and features constantly, while Simplify3D moves much slower. A few modern features, tree supports, better Klipper integration, are either missing or underdeveloped compared to what the open-source slicers now offer. Customer support has also been hit or miss; when I ran into an issue early on, the community forums were more useful than official channels. None of this kills the experience, but for a paid product it's a fair criticism. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you? nconsistent print quality and painful support removal were my two biggest time sinks before switching. Simplify3D addressed both. Prints come out more predictably on the first try, which means less wasted filament and less time babysitting reruns. The process system also lets me optimize prints I would have previously just accepted as "good enough", I can push quality on detailed sections without slowing down the whole job. Net result: I spend more time printing and less time troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Founder/CEO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/4/2020 "Best 3D Slicing Software 5 Years Running!" 5/5 What do you like best about Simplify3D? This software isn’t just fast, it’s crazy fast, it’s ridiculous just how fast it is even on low grade computers. Not only that but it packs a boatload of features and every time I look there’s always something new. You can adjust speed at different parts of the same print, edit individual support structures, fix models in-house, and so much more that I haven’t even had full experience with in 5 years of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? Literally nothing, I can’t come up with a single issue with it. If I had one thing to say that they could improve on, it would be wifi print compatibility with either OctoPrint or AstroPrint or preferably both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Simplify3D: It’s worth the cost, just make sure you keep an eye on how many computers are using the license. Be sure to take full advantage of the printer support on their website, it is honestly the best place for diagnosing 3d print issues in the entire internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you? I can slice a large high quality print in 5 seconds where the average slicer and even major slicers like the one that rhymes with SnakerDot can take several minutes. I can also control individual support structures as well as fine tuning I simply can’t do on any other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vector Designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/30/2019 "Fast, Simple and Efficient" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Simplify3D? The software's role is assistance editing and that the support structure creation algorithm. Creation is high-speed, and application paths preview is accurate. The capability to publish components is a substantial edge over the competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? I want to be able to publish two components. When it's this capacity, it's confusing to use (I thought I read somewhere that this purpose had been available). The document title is cut off once you proceed to choose which to publish. Should you use an SD card to move information to the printer. This makes it tough to return in history and write a document which has a similar title. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Simplify3D: The cost tag is somewhat steep, but Simplify3D is the one if you want an easy-to-use item of software that provides you much control over your preferences, in addition to cutting edge quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you? I use the applications to enhance high quality and the finish of QA test fittings which are in the prototype phase. The ability to fine-tune the procedure employing the controls in the program enables me to print fittings which are near the target measurements. Do not provide the performance that Simplify 3D provides. You will need other applications. The simple fact that Simplify 3D was harmonious with my Maker Gear I use on the job, made it a choice.

I like that I can set all the parameters as I prefer, I have access and can control the whole process. Another strong point is that I can use simplify3d with many different printers. When I try to use it with TPE and TPU I have all the control to calibrate the print Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? sometimes the slice time is disproportionate to the size of the file. I have a problem with the proxy settings, I have set the correct settings but sometimes I can't open the software. Another problem I faced is the cancel button when it starts to slice, sometimes it didn't respond and should close the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freelancer Designer for 3D Printing Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/13/2019 "The best software for generating code for 3D printers" 5/5 What do you like best about Simplify3D? The excellent combination between fast slicing and the ability to create different processes allows advanced print models to be produced even in places where other software failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? It takes time to learn exactly what goes on there, the software is paid and in my opinion, it is quite high, most of the softwareד in the market are free. Software updates are rarely done compared to other software that gets updated fairly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you? I had challenging models that I had to print with glass, it requires precision in every parameter, I created with the software interesting patterns that are very difficult to create otherwise.

Quality Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/25/2019 "The only software you will need" 5/5 What do you like best about Simplify3D? Using Simplify3D is simple and relatively intuitive. I like that I am able to adjust almost every aspect of the process with the provided controls. There is a very helpful troubleshooting guide on the website that will give you guidance on what adjustments to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Simplify3D? I would prefer to have the ability to print two completely different parts using two different printing processes. If it has this ability, it is confusing to use (I thought I read somewhere that this function was available). If you use an SD card to transfer data to the printer, the file name is cut off when you go to select which one to print. This makes it difficult to go back in history and print a file that has a similar name to another file on the card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Simplify3D: There is no reason not to get this software given the low price and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Simplify3D solving and how is that benefiting you? I use the software to improve the finish and quality of QA test fixtures that are in the prototype stage. The ability to fine tune the process using the additional controls in the software allows me to print fixtures that are very close to the target dimensions. Most software that come with a 3D printer do not offer the functionality that Simplify 3D provides. You will generally require additional software with a new machine purchase. The fact that Simplify 3D was compatible with my Maker Gear that I use at work, made it an easy busy decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
