Z-SUITE 2

ver
release
for MAC
for WINDOWS
  • Fixed bug with an incorrect top layers being added in some prints
  • Fixed the camera preview issues on the macOS version of the application
  • Improved stability on macOS 15 (Sequoia)
  • Added new printing profile Z-PLA (single mode) for M300 Dual
  • Performance improvements: the program now uses .NET 8.0.
  • Cross section view tool is now available on the Support step
  • Added new profiles for BASF Ultrafuse ABS, BASF Ultrafuse PET CF 15, BASF Ultrafuse 316L, BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH, 3DXTech CARBONX PETG+CF, KIMYA ABS-ESD, KIMYA PETG CARBON, Nanovia PETGCF for Zortrax M300 Dual,
  • Added new profiles for Z-ABS, Z-ULTRAT, Z-PLA, BASF Ultrafuse ABS, BASF Ultrafuse PPSU, BASF Ultrafuse PCABS/FR, BASF Ultrafuse 316L, BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH, Nanovia PA6, Nanovia PCABS RAIL, Nanovia PABS V0, Z-PEEK with Z-SUPPORT 130 (amorphous), VICTREX PAEK AM200 Z-SUPPORT 130 (amorphous) for Zortrax Endureal,
  • Added new profiles for Liqcreate Strong-X, Liqcreate Composite-X, Liqcreate Flexible-X, Liqcreate ESD, Liqcreate Hazard Glow for Zortrax Inskpire 2,
  • Added new Infill patterns:
    • Gyroid (Patt. 4),
    • Triangular (Patt. 5),
    • Concentric (Patt. 6).
  • Added the Outer Walls option – it is now possible to change the number of contours in models. Higher numbers of contours increase the model’s durability, whereas smaller numbers reduce the print time,
  • Added the Offset Inner Contours option. It is now possible to change the distance between inner and outer contours – with smaller offset values both contours will be printed closer to each other, whereas bigger offset values reduce over-extrusion (this option applies also to models printed in the Shell mode),
  • The Normal Seam mode is now called Auto,
  • Added the Avoid overhangs checkbox in the Seam section. When checked, the slicer will not generate the seam on overhanging layers (if it’s possible),
  • Added 3 new Seam modes:
    • User specified,
    • Inner corner,
    • Sharpest corner.
  • Improved the quality of thin walls. The infill for thin walls is now generated as a single path with variable material feeding – this reduces the printer’s vibrations and artifacts such as holes on horizontal surfaces in small elements,
  • Added the Print Too Thin Walls – when checked, walls thinner than approximately 0.4 mm will be sliced and printed. Additionally, walls with measurements in the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.8 mm will be printed with a single path to achieve best quality and accuracy. (Final measurements depend on the nozzle’s diameter.)
  • Improved Smart Bridges areas,
  • Improved the quality of slanted surfaces – such areas are now smoother and bonded more effectively,
  • Improved the quality of blocks of support – such areas are now smoother and do not have unnecessary elements,
  • Improved the stability of top surfaces – such areas are now smoother and supported more effectively,
  • Improved bonding between the first layer and the rest of the print for models consisting of only several layers – reduced the risk of layer separation,
  • It is now possible to add supports for models printed in the Shell mode,
  • Improved connections between support pillars and models on Inkspire 2: supports now leave less marks on models’ surfaces,
  • Added the Concentric infill mode in the Solid infill type. The Concentric infill consists of contours that form a concentric shape, improving the part’s durability,
  • It is now possible to display a single layer of a model in the Preview step. To do that, it is necessary to clear the checkbox All layers on the toolbar on the right,
  • Added new material profiles including BASF Ultrafuse Metal.
