·3D Scanners An alternative method to making a 3D model is to scan an
object. 3D scanners work by digitizing a physical object, collecting its geometric
data, and saving it to a file on your PC. There are also apps that can turn a
mobile device into a 3D scanner.
·From the Cloud The most popular way of obtaining a 3D model is to
download it from websites that allow users to upload 3D models that they
designed.
FlashCloud: cloud.sz3dp.com/
E.g. www. thingiverse.com
1.1.2 Slice and Export the 3D Model
Slice software is the software that prepares 3D models for printing and turns
them into instructions for the 3D printers. FlashPrint is the slicing software used
for the FlashForge Dreamer NX.
Using FlashPrint, you can prepare a. stl files to be .g or .gx files for printing.
Then the files can be transferred to your Dreamer NX via USB cable, USB stick
or Wi-Fi.
1.1.3 Build the 3D Model
Once the output file has been transferred to your Dreamer NX, it will start to
turn the 3D model into a physical object by laying down layers of filament.
