No Simplify3D free trial

If your creed is “try before you buy,” you’re in for a disappointment. You can’t download Simplify 3D for free because it doesn’t offer you any form of trial that you can download and take it for a spin before deciding on purchasing it or not.

However, at the time being, they do offer you a 14-day full refund in case you’re not satisfied with the program. As long as you’re willing to pay $149 just to see if you like Simplify 3D, you might as well just do it and ask for a refund if it’s not your cup of tea.

Check your compatibility beforehand

Since you can’t download a trial, it would be a wise thing to head over to the official Simplify 3D website and make sure that the tool is 100% compatible with your 3D printer. You can do that by using the compatibility checker.

Just head to the appropriate page, type the name of your 3D printer and hit the Check Compatibility button. If your printer is not commercially available, click the hyperlink under the text field and choose your printer’s firmware from the list below.
