The SimplyPrint add-in for Alibre Design bridges the gap between CAD design and 3D printing. Model in Alibre, then send your part or assembly straight to your printer in a single click - no separate export step, no juggling files between programs.
The add-in adds a SimplyPrint button to Alibre's Add-on ribbon tab, available in the Part and Assembly workspaces. Pick STL or 3MF, choose which configuration, bodies or components to export, dial in the mesh quality, and check the estimated filament weight before you hit Send. SimplyPrint then opens in your browser with the model loaded - ready to slice, queue, or print.
Download the installer:
Download SimplyPrintAlibre-installer.exeRight-click the installer and choose Run as administrator - registering the add-in needs admin rights. If Windows SmartScreen warns about an unknown publisher, click More info → Run anyway.
Click through the installer - it copies the add-in into %PROGRAMDATA%\Alibre AddOns\SimplyPrint and registers it with Alibre for you.
Open Alibre Design (or restart it if it was already running). On the Add-on ribbon tab, open the Add-on Manager, tick SimplyPrint, and click OK. The SimplyPrint button then appears in the Add-on tab whenever you have a part or assembly open.
Download the zip:
Download SimplyPrintAlibre.zipExtract the zip into %PROGRAMDATA%\Alibre AddOns\SimplyPrint so the .dll, .adc and icon sit directly inside that folder.
From an administrator command prompt, register the add-in by adding a registry value that points Alibre at that folder:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Alibre Design Add-Ons" /v 5A71F41D-B204-4A72-BE0B-6B4A42EC5EF0 /t REG_SZ /d "%PROGRAMDATA%\Alibre AddOns\SimplyPrint" /fStart Alibre, open the Add-on Manager on the Add-on ribbon tab, tick SimplyPrint, and click OK.
Open a part or assembly, then click the SimplyPrint button on the Add-on ribbon tab to open the dialog. Click Log in the first time - a browser tab opens, you approve the request, and you're set for future sessions. Pick the format, configuration, scope and mesh quality you want. The dialog shows an estimated filament weight and the model's bounding-box size, then you hit Send to SimplyPrint. Your browser opens SimplyPrint with the model uploaded, ready to slice, queue, or print on one or more printers.
Install and enable the SimplyPrint add-in
Run the Windows installer as administrator (or register the zip manually). Then in Alibre, open the Add-on Manager on the Add-on ribbon tab, tick SimplyPrint and click OK.
Log in once
Click the SimplyPrint button on the Add-on ribbon tab and choose Log in. A browser tab opens, you approve the request, and the session is remembered for next time.
Send your model and print
Pick STL or 3MF, choose the configuration, scope and mesh quality, check the weight estimate, then hit Send. SimplyPrint opens in your browser with the model loaded, ready to slice, queue or print.
Install the SimplyPrint add-in for Alibre Design, then click the SimplyPrint button on the Add-on ribbon tab to export your part or assembly as STL or 3MF and send it. The model opens in SimplyPrint in your browser, ready to slice, queue or print - no manual export or SD cards.
Yes. The add-in is free to install and use, and SimplyPrint's free plan lets you connect a printer and print wirelessly.
No. Alibre Design runs on Windows only, so the add-in is Windows-only too. The Windows installer registers it for you; you can also register the zip manually from an administrator command prompt.
Both work. STL is the universal mesh format, while 3MF preserves units and per-body metadata. Alibre has no native 3MF export, so the add-in writes it for you. You choose the format, the configuration, the scope of bodies or components, and the mesh quality before sending.
Yes. Alibre files can hold several design variants as configurations. The add-in lets you send a single configuration, just the active one, or every configuration at once - each lands in SimplyPrint as its own file.
The dialog shows an estimated filament weight from the model's solid volume, plus its bounding-box size, before you send. The density is adjustable (PLA by default), so you can match the material you plan to print in. For a precise figure, slice the model in SimplyPrint after sending.
Yes. Once the model is in SimplyPrint you can slice it and print to any printer on your account - 140+ brands and 600+ models through OctoPrint, Klipper or a built-in integration.
Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!
This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).
If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.
If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
