Overview
LutraCAD turns your designs into machine-ready files for both milling machines and 3D printers. This page covers which machines and materials you can use. For step-by-step setup, see the printer setup guides and 3D Printing.
Producing a Design
When a design is finished, the Export step is where you produce it. Depending on your setup you can mill or print it in-house, add it to your production queue, save it as an order for a lab, or outsource it to a partner. This page explains those routes. For the full in-house steps, see CNC Milling and 3D Printing.
3D Printing
Before you can 3D print a model, you set up two things in Settings (Account → Settings → 3D Printer): the Printer & Materials profile that decides how the model is prepared, and the Network printers entry that tells LutraCAD how to reach the machine. This page walks through both, then how you print a product.
CNC Milling
A milling table is a reusable profile that tells your CNC machine how to mill a product: table size, cutters, feed rates, pockets and the output file format. You build a table once, then pick it whenever you mill a product. This page covers where tables live, creating one, milling a product from a table, and a full reference of every setting.
Connect a Raise3D printer
This guide walks you through preparing a Raise3D printer (for example the E2) and connecting it to LutraCAD. You enable a few settings on the printer, then add it as a network printer in LutraCAD.
Print via Raise3D Cloud
Upload your G-code files to Raise3D Cloud and start prints remotely from anywhere.
