Preface

On the completion of this User Guide, I here, on behalf the Flashforge team, would like to avail

myself of this opportunity to express my great gratitude to the all Flashforge engineers and the

Flashforge 3D printer users for their unremitting efforts and sincere assistance.

The Flashforge Creator Pro User Guide is designed for the Creator Pro users to start their printing

journey with Flashforge Creator Pro. Even if you are familiar with earlier Flashforge machines or

3D printing technology, we still recommend that you read through this guide, as there is lots of

important information about the Creator Pro for you to get a better 3D experience.

For a better and more successful printing experience, you can refer to the following materials:

(1) Quick Start Guide

Users will find the Quick Start Guide together with the printer accessories. The Quick Start Guide

will help you start your print journey as soon as possible.

(2) Official Flashforge Website:www.ff3dp.com

The official Flashforge website contains the up-to-date information concerning Flashforge software,

firmware, device maintenance and so on. Uses are also able to get the contact information from

there.

Chapter 1: 3D Printing Technology

1.1 Definition

3D printing is transforming three-dimensional models into physical objects that you can hold and

touch. It is also called additive manufacturing because the 3D model is created by “adding” layers

upon layers of material until the object is fully formed.

1.2 Technique

Fused Filament Fabrication(FFF) is the most common method of 3D printing. It is also the method

that the Creator Pro uses. It works by melting plastic material called filament onto a print surface in

high temperature. The filament solidifies after it cools down, which happens instantaneously after it

is extruded from the nozzle. 3D objects are formed with the filament laying down multiple layers.

1.3 Process

3D printing involves three steps:

1.) Make or download a 3D model

2.) Slice and export the 3D model

3.) Build the 3D model

①Make a 3D Model: Currently, there are three ways of creating a 3D model.

·Designing From Scratch You can use free CAD (computer-aided design) software such as

AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pro-E to design your very own 3D model.

·3D Scanners An alternative method to creating a 3D model is to scan an

object. 3D scanners work by digitizing a physical object, collecting its geometric data, and saving it

to a file on your PC. There are also apps that can turn a mobile device into a 3D scanner.

·From the Cloud The most popular way of obtaining a 3D model is to download it from websites

that allow users to upload 3D models that they designed.

E.g. www.ishare3d.com

②Slice and Export the 3D Model:

Slice software is the software that prepares 3D models for printing and turns them into instructions

for the 3D printers. FlashPrint is the slicing software used for the FlashForge Creator Pro.

Using FlashPrint, you can prepare stl. files to be x3g files for printing. Then users can print files via

SD card.

③Build the 3D Model:

Once the output file has been transferred to your Creator Pro, it will start to turn the 3D model into

a physical object by laying down layers of filament.
