    Just noticed this while looking for a few CAD files, instead of reinventing the wheel. Found it pretty interesting that they created their own slicer.

    While in the Beta stage, you can use for free by simply signing up. The Robo printer is not yet supported according to the documentation. Looks like just their Stratasys Printers currently.

    Decided to download it anyways and see what its all about! One unique feature is I can actually just upload the SolidWorks Part File. You can also Schedule prints and print/monitor from any device. Also checks your model for errors when loaded. Slicing seems to be very quick, but lifts my part off the bed for some reason.

    There are literally no slicer settings though, besides Material Selection, Supports Yes/No, and Layer Height.

    Looks like they have a long ways to go but I do like the feature of uploading SLDPRT files. But I have also never used a Stratasys Printer, perhaps they just work!

    Seeing as how the price range on Stratasys printers run from $6,000-$750,000 (depending on print size & material capabilities), I would certainly hope so.
