Meshmixer Beta releases are provided for entertainment purposes only. These are our daily development builds. There will be bugs! And crashes! But if you drink from the firehose, you'll get access to the latest bugfixes and newest features.
If you have questions or want to "provide feedback", we have added a Beta forum.

March 19, 2016 [3.1.88] [Win64] [Win32] [OSX]
- Experimental support structures for metal DMLM/DMLS printing. Use the DMLS Tool Steel Preset in the Overhangs Tool. This is a slight modification on the method demonstrated in our AU 2015 Demo Reel. Support posts are constrained to be in rows, for easier removal (may also be useful for plastic).- added Segment Jitter setting to Support generator. This option slightly randomizes the posts, so that there are not duplicate triangles/vertices in exported STLs. The results are more likely to import/Boolean cleanly in other software.
- revamped the Advaced Support properties panel (replaced sliders with edit boxes)
- added ability to save support structure generation settings in Overhangs tool as custom Presets. Use Save Current... item at the bottom of the menu. Presets are saved as XML files in ~\Documents\meshmixer\printers\supportPresets. To delete a preset, you must delete it from this directory.
- many API updates (use current_beta branch)

You can have multiple printers in the same file. Note that the custom_printers.xml file itself may be replaced by future installers, so put your printer in a copy!.
