I am using Shapr on an iPad. File syncing is turned on. Where are the files stored? I need to import the file to a slicer running on a Windows computer. I would like to know if the files are located locally on iPad, and how to access them from the internet since syncing is turned on. Thanks

Hi,

Projects are stored inside Shapr3D. However they are not openable by other software.

If you want to send models to the slicer, export the files in a compatible format (3MF, or STL), and feed them to the slicer.

Shapr3D is also available on Windows, so you can export from there for an easier workflow.
