STACKER 500KS USER GUIDE 3
1. Introduction
The STACKER Model 500 is a high performance 3D printer capable of producing everything from
oneoff prototypes to multiple part production runs. To get the most out of your printer, please read
through this User Guide before operating.
It is also helpful to be familiar with solid modeling CAD applications in order to create and
manipulate the parts you want to print. For example, a simple design modification or splitting a
model into sections will allow you to print it faster, better, and without the need for support materials.
The following list of CAD apps is a good balance of power and value, some of which are free and
have robust online training and user communities. Nearly all of these apps will export your models
to the preferred .stl file format.
● Sketchup
● Autodesk 123D apps including Meshmixer and Tinkercad
● openSCAD, netfab studio basic, Geomagic Design
● Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Inventor, Solid Edge
