The tech media is ecstatic about the rebirth of Microsoft and the new Windows 10 operating system.? While we’re still waiting to see how Windows 10 will be implemented in new computing platforms like the HoloLens, its implications for 3D printing are already being felt through Microsoft’s 3D Builder App, which allows users to 3D print directly through home printers or 3D Systems’ Cubify service.? More interestingly for devout members of the 3D printing community is that the app supports Microsoft’s .3MF format, meant to consolidate all necessary features of a 3D file into one format.? And among the first company’s to take .3MF on board directly through Windows 10 is XYZprinting, makers of the low-cost da Vinci series of 3D printers.

XYZprinting has announced a partnership with Microsoft to seamlessly integrate their own software with the Microsoft 3D Builder app so that models uploaded to Builder can be printed directly to XYZprinting machines without issue.? This means that models will now be sliced by Builder, regardless of which XYZprinting printer. This includes files saved as .STL, .PLY, and .3MF.

Simon Shen, CEO of XYZprinting and New Kinpo Group, says of the partnership, “Microsoft is on the cutting edge of technology. With Windows 10 and 3D Builder, we’re pleased to hear that XYZprinting customers who upgrade their operating systems will have software that fully supports the latest in 3D printing designing and experience the seamlessly 3D printing process. Together, XYZprinting and Windows integrate designers’ creativity with the most up-to-date technology easier than ever before.”

What’s unique about this deal, to me, is that XYZprinting, which is striving for consumer-ready, user-friendly machines (regardless of whether or not they pull it off), has found an inroad to widespread consumer adoption through Microsoft, which is working towards the same goal on the software side in terms of its Builder app.? Along with its deal with Intel, powering XYZprinting’s handheld 3D scanner, we’re also seeing the Taiwanese manufacturer making a lot of progress in capturing a significant portion of the US market.? And, according to at least one report from research firm CONTEXT, XYZprinting is in the top five companies selling desktop printers worldwide, in the US and elsewhere.

To download the 3D Builder App, upgrade to Windows 10.

XYZprinting 携手微软可支持Windows 10 系统

该高科技媒体欣喜若狂对微软的重生和新的Windows10操作系统。虽然我们还在观望如何的Windows10将在新的计算平台，如HoloLens实施，及其对3D打印已经被通过微软的3D生成器应用程序，它允许用户以3D打印直接通过家用打印机或3D系统感觉“Cubify服务？更有趣的是在3D打印界的虔诚的成员是该应用程序支持微软的.3MF格式，意在巩固3D文件的所有必要的功能为一体的格式？而首批公司直接通过Windows10需要.3MF在船上XYZprinting，低成本的达芬奇系列3D打印机的制造商。

XYZprinting宣布与微软建立合作关系，无缝自己的软件与微软的3D构建的应用程序集成，以便上传到生成器的模型可以直接打印到XYZprinting机器没有问题？这意味着模型现在将通过生成器切片，无论哪个XYZprinting打印机。这包括保存为.STL，.PLY和.3MF文件。

沉西蒙，XYZprinting与新金宝集团首席执行官说，伙伴关系，“微软在技术的最前沿。在Windows10和3D生成器，我们很高兴地听到，XYZprinting谁的客户升级其操作系统将全面支持最新的3D打印设计的软件，体验无缝的三维打印过程。总之，XYZprinting和Windows集成设计师的创意与最先进的最新技术比以往任何时候都更容易“。

什么是独特的关于这个协议，对我来说，就是XYZprinting，它正在努力为消费者准备的，人性化的机器（不管他们是否把它关闭），发现通过微软，这是一种侵入到消费者广泛采用努力争取在软件方面同样的目标，它的生成器应用程序方面？随着它的处理与英特尔，供电XYZprinting的手持式三维扫描仪，我们也看到了台湾厂商制造了很大的进步捕获美国市场的显著部分？而且，根据市场研究公司背景至少一个报告，XYZprinting是在前五名公司销售桌面打印机在世界范围内，在美国和其他地方。
