For resin 3D printing users, a powerful and stable slicing software is at the heart of every successful print. It not only handles model processing and support generation but also ensures print reliability and workflow efficiency.
On September 26, 2025, Panda3dp.com learned that the widely recognized slicing software CHITUBOX has rolled out a comprehensive upgrade for its more than 2 million global users. In this release, CHITUBOX Basic and CHITUBOX Pro have been merged into a unified slicing platform, with a new CHITUBOX Advanced subscription tier offering flexible plans tailored to different user needs.
The core goal of this release: “Unified Experience, Accelerated Productivity.”
Key Highlights: Multi-Platform Workflow, Maximum Efficiency
Batch processing of multiple models often means repetitive imports and layouts—a tedious, time-consuming task. Responding to long-standing user demand, the latest version of CHITUBOX introduces the Multi-Platform Feature, enabling simultaneous preparation across up to 100 build platforms. Models can now be auto-assigned and arranged intelligently across available printers, dramatically reducing setup time.
Use Cases: · Large Model Printing: Import all segments at once—CHITUBOX automatically distributes them across multiple platforms for concurrent slicing. · Mass Production: Perfect for printing batches of small parts, with automatic smart layout for optimal efficiency.
Smarter Supports: Stronger Automation, Greater Manual Flexibility
Support structures are vital to print success—and often the most challenging for users. CHITUBOX’s latest version significantly enhances both automated and manual support generation.
· 34× Faster Overhang Detection: Rapid, accurate identification of critical areas needing support. · Enhanced Manual Control: New regional selection brushes let users “paint” supports directly on the model, combining precision and creativity. · Cross-Support Structures: Automatically or manually generated intersections improve overall stability. · “Magic Supports” (Pro & Advanced): One-click generation of optimized, multi-type supports to ensure higher success rates.
Performance Leap: Smoother Operation, Streamlined Workflow
The revamped UI features a clean, intuitive layout and smarter logic flow. A new project management homepage centralizes operations for greater convenience. In testing, Panda3dp.com noted smoother interaction and faster task switching—ideal for professional users managing complex projects.
The ChituAction automation engine has also been upgraded, adding hollowing and drilling capabilities for fully automated model preparation.
Performance Metrics (vs. previous CHITUBOX Basic): · Model loading: 13× faster · Auto layout: 10× faster · Overhang detection: 34× faster · Support preprocessing: 10× faster · Slicing save speed: 5× faster · Island detection: 88× faster These improvements represent not just technical optimization but a fundamental enhancement in user experience and workflow fluidity.
Advanced Model Repair: Safer, More Reliable The new Advanced Repair module goes beyond basic fixes, performing deep analysis to resolve complex model flaws. Repair success rates have tripled, minimizing failed prints caused by mesh defects—saving both time and materials.
New Subscription Tiers CHITUBOX now offers three membership levels to match user experience and workflow needs: · Basic: Free tier for beginners and hobbyists, including all essential functions. · Advanced: For users seeking greater slicing efficiency and multi-platform support (up to 100 platforms). · Pro: Designed for professionals demanding maximum productivity—includes full automation via ChituAction, advanced repair, and all premium tools.
Additional Highlights · AI Assistant: Ask in-app questions for instant software guidance. · ChituHive Model Library: Integrated with MyMiniFactory, offering exclusive 10% discounts on model purchases directly within CHITUBOX.
This CHITUBOX update represents not just a software upgrade but a redefinition of the resin 3D printing workflow. With its unified platform, smart automation, AI integration, and massive performance boosts, CHITUBOX now delivers a seamless and interconnected 3D printing ecosystem.
Whether you’re a beginner or an industry professional, the new CHITUBOX makes 3D printing faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever before. |
