Maybe I am missing something. How can I print directly from the app to my network printers. At the moment I used a screen capture app to select the view I want, the print out the resultant png file. This works well. Is there an easier way to do this from within the Shapr3D app?

I am trying to print a 3D design,
I want to send various views to a colleague.

If sending views to portray the design, I use to use the Image Capture within Shapr3D. But NOW, I use the new web viewer to do this. It allows the customer to view the item in every imageable angle.

Either you can create a drawing, export it to pdf and print it, or you can use the image export feature and print the image. Or just like @McD said, you can use the Webviewer to share the design with a single click using a private link.
