Marcel from the 2onelab team shares 5 practical tips to help users get the most out of our 2Build CAM software. These tips are designed to make workflows faster, smarter, and more efficient. You can also watch the video below to see each tip in action.
Tip 1: Check Support Placement
If you want to know where your supports will be placed, simply rotate your part. The red overhang areas indicate exactly where support is needed.
Tip 2: Visualize Overhang Angles
To easily see overhang angles inside your part, switch the view from “Solid” to “Wireframe” using the keyboard buttons S + W.
Tip 3: Position Parts Faster
If you want to speed up manual part positioning, you can toggle between position and rotation of your models using the 1 and 2 keys.
Tip 4: Remove Unneeded Modules
Some modules may not be necessary for your workflow. You can disable them in the workflow settings to keep your workspace cleaner and more focused.
Tip 5: Keep Track of Costs
To see the real cost of your 3D printed parts, go into the settings and adjust prices for gas, powder, and electricity. This helps users plan efficiently and stay within budget.
Conclusion
With these five tips, users can unlock the full potential of 2Build CAM and work more efficiently than ever—saving time, material, and effort on every project. Give them a try and optimize your next print job with confidence.
