Your Duplicator 5 is designed to work with our proprietary software called Wanhao Maker.
Developed by the Wanhao International Team, this software was created to make 3D printing
as easy as possible. Wanhao Maker can be used to manipulate 3D printing files into a file
format that the Duplicator 5 understands.
T
his file
type
is called
an I file
(example
_
object
.i
)
.
Preconfigured to work on every Duplicator 5, Wanhao Maker contains all of the functions
needed to prepare a file for 3D printing. In addition to translating other 3D printing files, you
can also use this software to scale, position, and fix models. While you make decisions on
the look and
q
uality of your 3D model
, Wanhao Maker’s slicer engine prepares
the proper
parameters in the
background.

and modify settings for future component upgrades... Wanhao Maker is truly forward
capable.
