We are thrilled to announce the major release of STL Studio Version 2.0.0.0! This is more than just an update—we’ve completely overhauled the workflow to give you unprecedented control over your 3D models.
Focused on Flexibility and Precision
Based on valuable user feedback, this 2.0 release focuses heavily on flexibility and precision. We are confident this new version will streamline your 3D asset preparation workflow significantly.
Here is what you can expect in the new version:
- The Power to “Undo”
We know that experimentation is part of the design process. You no longer need to worry about accidental clicks or operations that don’t look quite right. We have added full Undo and Redo buttons, allowing you to revert or re-apply your most recent operation instantly.
- Selective Mesh Operations
Working with complex scenes just got easier. If you have multiple meshes in a single workspace, you can now select specific meshes to edit. Operations will only apply to the items you have selected, leaving the rest of your workspace untouched.
- Smart Facet Reduction
Reducing file size usually means sacrificing detail—but not anymore. When reducing the file size, you can now use a selection box to “protect” specific areas. This ensures that critical details retain their facet count while the rest of the model is optimized.
- Enhanced Visualization and Analysis
We’ve added a suite of tools to help you measure and analyze your models more effectively:
-
- Visual Scale: A new option in the “View” menu displays a grid with numerical indicators, giving you an immediate sense of scale.
- Unit Conversion: A built-in calculator now allows you to easily convert units (e.g., mm to inches) via a simple dropdown menu.
- Volume Calculation: When using the clipping tool, the software now calculates and displays the percentage of the file size contained within your selected volume.
