News Summary

  • Extrudio is a tool that aims to create more realistic renders for 3D printed parts.
  • It creates its render based on the instructions your 3D printer uses to produce your part, sweeping a virtual bead of plastic along the toolpaths in the code.
  • In doing so, it can realistically display layer lines in a 3D print and other artifacts of the printing process.
  • It can display the render in various contexts, from blank studio backgrounds to a number of “sets” like a bench or kitchen.
Your CAD software generally has some rudimentary tools for rending images of your parts, from simplytextured models to more photorealistic options.
