1 · Shape
Draw a silhouette freehand, refine it point by point with the pen tool in exact millimetres, or open the lattice cage and pull rings, columns or single nodes in full 360°. Import an STL and reshape an old model instead of starting over.
- Draw, pen and lattice modes
- Top and bottom diameter locks for parts that must fit
- Formulaic shapes: sphere, ball, box, lathe profiles
- STL import with automatic repair scan
2 · Pattern
Generative patterns rewrite the wall: twist, ripple, hammered, sunflower, hexagon, pleats, bubbles, waves, bumps and smooth. Add PNG or SVG artwork and multi-line text with adjustable height, bevel and spacing.
- Frequency, twist, amplitude, fade-in and offset
- Live effector to confine a pattern to any band
- Image and text patterns for emboss or engrave
- Sound Sculpt: a track or your microphone drives the form
3 · Surface & G-code
Direct toolpath control with stitches, distortion, columns, mesh and woven surfaces. Every parameter maps to the extrusion itself, not to a post-processed mesh.
- Depth, spacing, z-tilt, shape and flow modulation
- Wall thickness beyond a single nozzle width
- Speed profiles per section of the print
- Custom start and end G-code, copy and paste
4 · Floor, ceiling & sockets
Concentric, linear, spiral or lamp floors, closing lids, centre holes for cords and reinforced bulb-socket collars with radial ribs that flow into the wall.
- Bottom layers and hole diameter in mm
- Reinforced socket collar with adjustable thickness
- Ceiling lid that closes to zero
- Cord routing for lampshades
5 · Printer & export
Ready-made profiles for Bambu Lab, Prusa, Anycubic, Elegoo, Snapmaker and Creality, plus a custom start/end profile so it works with virtually any machine.
- 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 0.8 mm nozzles or your own
- Materials, temperatures, cooling and line widths
- Export G-code, .gcode.3mf, STL and 3MF
- Embedded metadata: version, printer, material, checksum
6 · Pre-flight & safety
Before anything leaves the app, Sculptiq scores the model 0–100, flags structural problems and links every issue straight to the slider that fixes it.
- Green, yellow, red printability verdict
- Toolhead sweep playback with a timeline scrubber
- Reachable-zone and printer-compatibility checks
- Downloadable HTML or PDF report with a report ID
