14 DAY TRIAL // Native support for 3D printing is one of the key improvements in Windows 8.1, so Microsoft has praised it with every single occasion.
The company has now launched a freeware Modern app that gives users the possibility to take full advantage of the 3D printing support without even closing the Metro UI.
Called 3D Builder, the app can be used on both Windows 8 and Windows RT and comes with a rather intuitive and straightforward interface.
“The clean, simple user interface lets you scale, rotate and adjust what you want to print. Add multiple objects to a single print – even stack or push objects into one another to create new ones. Printing 3D objects created in other applications or ones that are downloaded from the Internet is really easy with the 3D Builder app and touch as well,” Microsoft says about the new app.
Of course, 3D printers remain very expensive pieces of hardware, but if you wish to use one, you clearly need to download 3D Builder for Windows 8.1.
