Verashape Softshaper software
Licensing the Siemens PLM Software, Verashape has become one of the first 3D printer manufacturers to create software based on Parasolid Communicator in an attempt to support the import and proper preparation of models for printing.
Just days after licensing Siemens PLM Parasolid Communicator, Verashape has announced its programming work on the software is about to begin.
Soon, Beta Testing of the newest version of its SOFTSHAPER 2018 application will commence. Candidates interested in testing the new software program can already apply via a dedicated website, where information on SOFTSHAPER can also be found.
Licensing the Siemens PLM Software, Verashape has become one of the first 3D printer manufacturers to create software based on Parasolid Communicator in an attempt to support the import and proper preparation of models for printing.
“When conducting programming work, we strive to make the software we create a universal solution aiding the print preparation process regardless of the type of 3D printer used for printing,” said Tomasz Szymanski, the founder and CEO of Verashape. “Therefore, we invite the users of all types of 3D printers to become Beta-Testers of the newest version of the application.”
Seweryn Nitek, Software Engineer from Verashape, one of the creators of SOFTSHAPER software, added: “The brand of the device used by our Beta-Testers is completely irrelevant. Our aim is to make our solution compatible with any 3D printer.”

The interface of this new software application allows the user to regulate the print cooling, stop the printing process at any height, and alter printing support structures for models which do not have the support of adjoining paths.
Earlier this week, Verashape announced it had licensed the Siemens PLM software in a bid to better prepare and import 3D models for printing. With the demand for 3D printers continuing to grow, Verashape believes it is of significant importance to advance its 3D technology with the support of an effective software program.
The interface of this new software application allows the user to regulate the print cooling, stop the printing process at any height, and alter printing support structures for models which do not have the support of adjoining paths. The user can decide exactly which point to generate paths, enhancing the application’s efficiency significantly.
“3D printing enthusiasts will definitely be interested in the option of printing with only one extruder when working with a dual extruder printer, as well as the ability to configure temperature settings, printing speed, layer height or wall thickness,” said Ryszard Leniowski, R&D Software Manager, Verashape.
The creators of the SOFTSHAPER software are looking forward to being contacted by 3D printer manufacturers interested in using the program with devices produced by them, as well as filament producers who wish to share the parameters of their devices in the material database of the available application.
Nominations and bookings for the inaugural TCT Awards can now be made on the TCT Awards website.
