Introducing configurable auto-slicing, same material solid layer support and highly-requested features and fixes with software update 1.5.9

Airwolf 3D is pleased to release some more exciting updates to APEX! Developed specifically for Airwolf 3D printers, APEX slicing software is part of our commitment to continually improve the 3D printing process for our customers. Aside from the improved user interface, there is now a great feature that enables automatic slicing to be turned off and on. With auto-slicing off, it is much easier to add more parts to the plate, move and rotate individual parts, and scale your parts quickly.

APEX is custom-tailored to all Airwolf 3D printers and simplifies the printing process with pre-loaded print profiles for nearly every material including ABS, PETG, NYLON, PLA, TPE, TPU, and PC. Don’t forget: For advanced users and curious tinkerers, APEX comes fully outfitted with a Full Settings mode and an Expert Configuration panel for manually adjusting settings, running plugins, and viewing G-Code.
