FFF settings
The FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) Settings window contains all the Processes that specify how your
model will be constructed:
• Select Profile – Allows you to choose a pre-configured printer profile.
• Auto-Configure for Material – Allows you to select the material you will be printing with.
• Auto-Configure for Print Quality – Allows you to select a pre-configured print quality.
• Infill Percentage – Changes the interior solidity of your 3D print. 0% is completely hollow and
• 100% is completely solid. A value in the range of 20-50% is a good place to start.
• Include Raft – Generates a raft structure underneath your part. Rafts are used to improve the
• bond to your build platform and may help reduce warping on large models.
• Generate Support – Turns on support material for your 3D print. Support structures are similar
Click Show Advanced at the bottom of the FFF Settings window to view additional options and settings that
are available within Simplify3D™ Software.
Previewing G-Code Files
“Slicing” is the term used to describe the process of translating a digital
model into line-by-line printer instructions called “G-code.” The software
slices the model into G-Code based on the variables you have selected in the
FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) Settings window.
These advanced setting should be modied by advanced users only!
We recommend visiting our Simplify 3D training to get familiar with the
advanced setting.
After you have finalized your Process settings, click Prepare to Print! to trigger the preparation of G-Code.
Simple models will be sliced in seconds, while complex models may take several minutes.
When your G-Code has been created, the software window will transition automatically to Preview Mode.
The animated Preview Mode in the Simplify3D™ Software allows you to inspect all aspects of your print ope-
ration prior to execution. The software takes your generated G-Code and virtually displays line by line how
your model will be constructed.
