ideaMaker® is optimized for use with Raise3D solutions, enabling advanced 3D printing performance with a wide range of engineering and functional materials, including FFF and DLP technology.
Current Version: ideaMaker® 5.1.3
Curated Templates for each Raise3D Material
Short Learning Curve for DLP
For Raise3D’s DF2 Solution, ideaMaker® provides consistent parameter templates covering printing, washing and curing, tailor-made for each of Raise3D’s resin products.
In addition, a series of specialized tools are offered to support DLP slicing. DF2 users will enjoy an increased first print success rate with ideaMaker®.
Failure Risk Detection
Model orientation is a big challenge for non-expert users, as orientation can avoid uneven peeling force or unwanted cavity structures. ideaMaker® can help users identify particular risks and even suggest better orientations.
Resin Saving
Resin materials are usually expensive, thus printing solid models should be avoided when possible. ideaMaker® offers essential tools to automatically hollow the model and add an orifice for resin drainage, thus reducing material usage.
Minimize Support Creation
Well thought-out support design is essential for DLP printing. ideaMaker®’s automated support generation algorithm enables high slicing efficiency while covering a variety of parameters, including support position, density, angle, strength, etc., and opens some of the parameters to the user to allow manual adjustment.
Fully Customizable Template for New Filaments
ideaMaker® users have full access to all filament template parameters by accessing the Advanced Editing panel.
The wide range of customizable parameters allow a filament template to be tailored for specific filaments with a high first print success rate.

Seamless Access to Material Profile Library
Raise3D offers a rich, ever-expanding and performance-proven third-party material template library (www.ideamaker.io).
ideaMaker® also enables users to browse and import templates directly from the library inside the program, with only a few clicks.
Visit ideaMaker® Templates Library
Raise3D offers AM manufacturers a streamlined software to facilitate adopting new materials, refine slicing, schedule print planning and monitor printing tasks.
ideaMaker® Library offers full and free access to a wide range of top performing third-party material templates from Raise3D OFP (Open Filament Program).
ideaMaker® provides easy operation with slicing templates, while fully and effortlessly integrating the Raise3D software ecosystem, providing a seamless workflow.
RaiseCloud is a cloud-based 3D printing platform that remotely controls, monitors and reports your team’s entire print production progress at a glance.
Intuitive User Interface
ideaMaker®’s advanced UI allows users to carry out more complex operations than many other slicers.
Even more features can be expected in the future.
Template Selecting
ideaMaker® offers over 100 printing templates for 10+ Raise3D printer models, in addition to over 15+ own-brand filament products. Template selection is made easy by ideaMaker, as it automatically exhibits available templates for each 3D printer model and corresponding filaments.
Navigation and Layout
Users have the option of freely observing models and changing layouts in ideaMaker® with just their mouse.
Smooth Manual Editing
With the free mouse-only navigation approach, ideaMaker® allows users to carry out advanced actions, such as manual support editing, Boolean operations, and model modification with just a series of mouse-clicks.
Professional Tools for Professional Users
ideaMaker® provides an array of tools to tackle all types of situations.
With their wide-ranging capabilities, users can carry out even the most advanced slicing.
Advanced Slicing Preview
ideaMaker® gives users a detailed preview of the final printing results by simulating not only the tool path but also exhibiting key information such as speed, layer height, extruder and structure type.
Adaptive Parameter Settings
ideaMaker® uses algorithms to compute the slicing parameters for layer height, infill structure, and support structure. By adapting parameters accordingly, the filament consumption and printing time will decrease while surface finish quality is maintained.
Various Options for Parameter Settings
ideaMaker® offers multiple approaches to changing parameter settings for specific parts of loaded models. The selective setting can be done by group, by layers, and by volume.
Texture Generation
With ideaMaker® Texture, users can easily create different surface finishes for their 3D-printed models. The generated texture is defined by importing and adapting values of greyscale images.
