Hi Jukka and Maik - thanks for pinging us on the update. Long overdue! More frequent updates are coming in the future.
Creator Jukka Seppälä on February 20
Yeah, I would also like to see some update.
Creator maik on February 18
How is the progress on MeshUp? An update would be much appreciated.
Creator Uformia on November 19, 2012
Thanks Luke! We are very happy on this end! :)

Never mind the delivery question; I just received my confirmation email which explained that you would contact me prior to delivery for address info.
Creator James H Daigle Jr on November 17, 2012
Just backed the project. Looks like great work! Just one question about the "delivery": if I want any physical materials delivered to a different address than my amazon billing address, how do I go about setting that up?
Creator Uformia on November 10, 2012
Hi Martin,
We are very interested to work with FormLabs. We are planning on as tight an integration with the FormLabs printer as they allow. But keep in mind of course as a stand alone product, our software will be useful for any 3D printer.
Thanks for your support!
All the best,
Cherie

Hello Florian,
Thanks for the post. I have just noticed your discussion at Google+. We already export direct slices (as vectors and image stacks) at part of API and it is a feature included in Symvol for Rhino which is available now to Rhino 3D users. We are also in the first stages of discussion about direct fabrication (including G-code) with Ultimaker which we started at the 3D Printshow
Regarding the spammer, Onna - I hope we have stopped Onna's well meaning but unhelpful postings. For a more full response please check our reply on Ultimaker:

Hope that clears up any questions and happy to answer any more you may have.

Creator Florian Horsch on October 31, 2012
What are the exact plans regarding FDM printer support? Or more precisely the Ultimaker...
Are you really planning to come up with a slicing mechanism?
Thanks :)
Creator Uformia on October 29, 2012
By solid formats I will assume you do not mean solid or manifold meshes but NURBS and the like. As you may know meshes can be converted to NURBS however the issue is that they are not very useful conversions without input from the designer as to design intent, surface division, etc. Likewise conversion from real volumes has the same problem. We are looking at making a converter that would be easier than converting from meshes (but it would still require detailed interaction from the designer). This is not planed for the current version of MeshUp.
Of course you can always convert your solids to meshes and combine them in MeshUp. MeshUp will let you treat meshes as real volumes (better than solids) and "mashing stuff together" will *never* produce a bad, broken or non-manifold model. Additionally, MeshUp is a non-destructive modeler, so you can dynamically change any part of your model at any time.
Creator Ian Johnson on October 28, 2012
Since Meshup is creating volumes from meshes, would it be possible for it to export solid formats for use in CAD? That would be good for reverse engineering, or using scans as a starting point for CAD. I would love to be able to take an STL from Thingiverse and make some changes in a solid modeler rather than a mesh modeler.
On the other hand I can see how Meshup would let me treat a mesh modeler like a solid modeler by just mashing stuff together and not caring about the intersections.
Creator Uformia on October 26, 2012
Hi Techartisan -
There are no limitations placed on our software for the creation of slices or even STL/meshes. The system will produce slices and meshes which are dumped to disk as it goes - so the limitations are only via your disk size, limitations of the 3D printer hardware and any of the manufactures software you may have to go through in order to use the 3D printer hardware.
The software will also be able to provide a user with just one slice at a given position/orientation.
Symvol for Rhino already technically has most of the features that MeshUp has, plus the ability to do general modeling. MeshUp will differ in that it will not require Rhino to run, will be cross platform (including Linux), and will have a dead simple interface. The $700 or more level is really to say for 5 years we will provide you with all new updates and versions Symvol for Rhino and MeshUp.
We are looking at the end of Q1 for Pro. The Kickstarter campaign is to provide MeshUp with its own resources such that the project can be accelerated in tandem with Pro.

Upon rereading I feel part of my post is a bit unclear,
"I am curious to know what if any limit there is on the size of a layer?"
I mean this question in regards to limitations in the size of the XY plane.
Creator techartisan on October 24, 2012
"using vector or image slice data at the resolution of the 3D printer. "
I am curious to know what if any limit there is on the size of a layer? Can the software extract single slices at specified Z coordinates or does it only perform batch slicing? Is there a maximum slice number limitation?
The $700 level includes meshup and Symvol...what does meshup do that the symvol community edition cannot?
Finally, I realize that this kickstart is for your MeshUp software, but Im curious...if there any time estimate on the release of Symvol Pro? Is its release being delayed by the development of MeshUp?
Creator Uformia on October 23, 2012
Hi Deepak - thank you for the contribution! Good news - yes, MashUp is being developed for Windows, Linux AND MacOS.
Creator Deepak Mehta on October 22, 2012
I did pledge 100$, but does the software also support MacOS? #fingers crossed#...
