    1. 3D in Photoshop | Common questions about deprecated 3D features

Photoshop allows you to print any compatible 3D model without worrying about the limitations of a 3D printer. When preparing to print, Photoshop automatically renders 3D models impenetrable. Photoshop also generates the necessary support structures—platforms and bases—to help you achieve successful 3D printing results.

Preparing 3D objects for printing

  1. Select the menu item Window > Workspace > 3D to switch to 3D mode.
  2. Open the 3D model in Photoshop. If necessary, resize the 3D model while opening the file.
  3. Select menu item 3D > 3D Print Settings.

3D Printing Preferences

  1. In the 3D Printing Preferences panel, choose whether to use a printer connected to your computer via USB (local printer) or online 3D printing services such as Shapeways.com or Sculpteo.

Note.

You can now print 3D models as 3MF (3D Manufacturing Format) files. When specifying 3D printing options, set Print to to Local and set Printer to 3MF file. When you send a 3D object to print, Photoshop creates a 3MF file. On Windows computers, Photoshop also launches the Microsoft 3D Builder application to further process the 3MF file.

Note.

To update the list of supported printers or online profiles, select Get Latest Printers from the Send to Print To pop-up menu.

  1. Select a local printer or Shapeways.com print profile.

Note.

View estimated prices for printing 3D models using available Shapeways.com profiles by selecting Printer > Estimated Price.

  1. Select the unit of measure for print volume—inches, centimeters, millimeters, or pixels. This unit will serve to measure the dimensions of the volume of the printer as well as the dimensions of the printing plate.

A. 3D model B. Printing plate C. Printer volume overlay

  1. Select the 3D Printing Detail Level—Low, Medium, or Fine. The time it takes to print a 3D object depends on the level of detail selected.
  2. If you do not want to see the bounds of the 3D model’s print volume, clear the Show Printer Volume Overlay check box.
  1. Set the Scene Size options to the appropriate size for the 3D printed object. When you change one value (X, Y, or Z), the other two values ​​are scaled proportionally. When resizing the Stage Volume, notice that the print plate under the 3D model resizes accordingly.

Note.

You can scroll through the Scene Volume settings by clicking the size label (X, Y, or Z) and dragging the cursor left or right. By holding down the Shift key, you can scroll through the values ​​faster.

  1. Select Scale by printer volume if you want to automatically resize the 3D model so that it takes up the entire available printer volume on the selected printer.
  2. If a 3D model includes normal maps, bump maps, or transparency maps, you can ignore these types of maps when printing the model. Notice how the 3D model changes in real time as you change the Surface Detail settings.
  3. Optionally, you can exclude the support structures of the 3D object (platforms and bases) from printing. Use this option with caution as printing a 3D model without the necessary support structures may produce unsatisfactory results.
  4. If your printer supports multiple materials, select the material you want to use to print this 3D object.

(Experimental) Enable multitone printing for the MakerBot Replicator 2x 9 printer0026

You can enable an experimental feature that allows you to print continuous tones with your MakerBot Replicator 2x 3D printer.

Requirement: Enable experimental Photoshop features

Experimental features must be enabled in Photoshop before using multitone printing:

  1. Select Preferences > Experimental Features.
  2. Select the Enable multitone printing check box.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Restart Photoshop.

Note.

Experimental features not yet fully tested. They should be used with caution.

Choose a multi-tone surface material

  1. Select the MakerBot Replicator 2x printer in the 3D Printing Settings panel.
  2. In the Material field, select Multitone Surface. If you don’t see this option, make sure the experimental Multitone 3D Printing feature is enabled.
  1. Set other parameters according to the generated 3D model.
  2. To view and print a 3D object, select 3D > 3D Print.

Preview and print 3D object

After setting the 3D printing options, follow these steps.

  1. Click the Start Print icon () or select the menu item 3D > 3D Print. Photoshop will combine the 3D elements of the scene and prepare it for the printing process.
  2. If you choose to print with a Shapeways.com profile, Photoshop will display a message that the actual print cost may differ from the estimated cost displayed. Click OK.
  3. In the preview window that opens, you can use the 3D camera tools to rotate, scale, or move the 3D object.

    Rotate the 3D camera.

    3D camera rotation.

    Move the 3D camera.

    3D camera slide.

    Return to the home position of the 3D camera.

3D print preview; pay attention to the support structures

  1. If necessary, select the Show restoration check box. Photoshop displays various restoration colors such as Initial mesh, Thickened walls, and Hole closed.

Preview with «Show Repair» setting

  1. You can also turn on Ray Tracing Preview. Viewing ray tracing allows you to more accurately reproduce the printed material.

Ray Tracing Preview

  1. If you want to export the 3D printing settings to an STL file, click the Export button and save the file to the desired folder on your computer. This STL file can be sent to a network service server or moved to an SD card for printing with your own printer.
  2. View a summary of the 3D print object and click the Print button.

Note.

You can cancel the current 3D printing process using the menu item 3D > Cancel 3D printing.

3D printing utilities

Photoshop provides interactive step-by-step utilities that you can use to set up, calibrate, and maintain your 3D printer. These utilities can only be used when the 3D printer is turned on and connected to a computer.

  1. Select the menu item 3D > 3D Printer Utilities.
  2. Select the utilities you want to run.

Print plate calibration

Helps in leveling the printing plate. This utility includes the following general steps:

  • Requires you to remove all residual print materials from the 3D printer.
  • Initializes the print head.
  • Allows you to adjust the amount of gap between the platen and the printhead at nine nozzle positions.

You can use this utility in wizard mode or manual mode.

Download Thread

Helps load filament into a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer. To facilitate filament loading, Photoshop starts the head heating process and the filament loading mechanism.

Remove thread

Helps remove the filament from the FDM 3D printer. To facilitate the removal of the filament, Photoshop starts the head heating process and the filament loading mechanism.

Replace thread

Helps to replace the old filament in the FDM 3D printer with a new one. To make changing filament easier, Photoshop starts the head heating process and the filament loading mechanism.

  1. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Pack objects on the base plane

Sometimes you may want to print multiple instances of an object on the same panel. Do the following.

  1. Select the required objects in the 3D panel.
  2. Select 3D > Pack Objects on Ground Plane.
  3. Start printing objects.

FAQ

Photoshop currently supports the following 3D printers:

  • MakerBot Replicator 2

Clipping off a portion of a sphere before printing.

Yes. Follow these general steps.

  1. Select the material in the Scene panel.
  2. In the Properties panel, click the folder icon () next to Emboss/Transparency/Normals and load the texture. You can also specify a new texture to apply to the 3D model.
  3. When specifying a new texture, save this texture. The texture is applied to the 3D model as a bump map or transparency.
  4. Print a 3D model.

Applying a bump map to a 3D model before printing

Applying a transparency map to a 3D model before printing.

If your 3D printer has two heads, you can print 3D models in two colors. Pop-up menus for additional heads available are displayed in the Print Properties panel. In the 3D workspace and in the 3D Print Preview window, the model appears in two colors.

Printing a 3D model in two colors

From a printing point of view, each layer of a 3D model is treated as a separate 3D object. You can optionally merge two or more layers (3D > Merge 3D Layers).

Setting highlight and shadow targets

Targeting (determining) the highlights and shadows of an image is necessary because most output devices (printing presses) do not support printing details at the darkest (around level 0) or lightest plots (around level 255). Defining a minimum level in shadows and a maximum level in highlights helps to bring out important details in shadows and highlights using the color gamut of the output device.

If you are printing on a desktop printer and your system uses color management, you do not need to set targets. Photoshop’s color management system automatically adjusts the image you see on the screen so that it prints correctly on a desktop printer that has a device color profile defined.

Using the Levels command to preserve detail in highlights and shadows when printing

The Output Values ​​sliders let you set the levels of shadows and highlights to compress an image to a range that is less than the range of 0 to 255. Use these adjustments to preserve detail in shadows and highlights when printing an image on a press that you know the characteristics of. For example, let’s say important image details are in the highlights at 245 and your press does not support printing less than 5% dots. You can drag the highlights slider to level 242 (which is the 5% point for the press) to shift the details in the highlights from level 245 to level 242. The details in the highlights can now be printed on this press.

In general, it’s best not to use the Output Values ​​sliders to target images with specular highlights. Specular reflections may appear gray instead of shining pure white. For images with specular highlights, use the eyedropper to adjust the highlights.

Targeting Shadows and Highlights with Output Values ​​Sliders

Setting Targets with Eyedroppers

  1. From the toolbar, select the Eyedropper tool . From the Sample Size menu of the Eyedropper tool, you can select Medium 3×3. This ensures that a representative sample of the area is taken and not the value of a single screen pixel.

  2. Click the Levels or Curves icon in the Adjustments panel.

    Selecting the Levels or Curves dialog box keeps the Eyedropper tool active outside of the Properties panel. In addition, access to the scroll controls and the Hand and Zoom tools using keyboard shortcuts will continue.

  3. Do one of the following to identify the light and dark areas in which you want to keep details in the image.

    • As you move your mouse over the image, look in the Info panel to find the lightest and darkest areas you want to keep (not clipped to pure black or pure white) (see Viewing color values ​​in an image).

    • As you drag your mouse over the image, look in the Curves window in the Properties panel to find the lightest and darkest points you want to keep. This method does not work if the CMYK composite channel is selected in the Curves dialog box.

    When identifying the lightest details to target at the printable (lower) value, ignore specular highlights. Specular reflections, such as on jewelry or tinsel, should remain the brightest points in the image. It is desirable to cut off specular highlight pixels (so that they remain pure white, without detail), and on paper these areas were not toner applied.

    Note.

    Before going to the Levels or Curves dialog box, you can use the Isohelium command to identify representative light and dark areas. (See Create black and white images with two color values.)

  4. To assign highlight values ​​to the lightest area of ​​the image, double-click the White Point Sampler tool in the Levels or Curves dialog box; The Select Highlights Target Color dialog box opens. Enter the values ​​to associate with the lightest area of ​​the image and click OK. After that, click on the light area identified in step 3.

    Note.

    If you accidentally click on the wrong light area, click the Reset button in the Adjustments panel.

    Depending on the output device, you can achieve good reproduction of the highlights in the image in the middle key using CMYK values ​​of 5, 3, 3 and 0, respectively, when printing on white paper. The approximate RGB equivalent is 244, 244, 244 and the approximate grayscale equivalent is 4% dot. You can quickly specify close values ​​by entering the value 96 in the «Brightness (B)» text box in the «HSB» area of ​​the Color Picker.

    Note.

    If you are working with a low key image, you can bind the highlights to a lower value to avoid too much contrast. Try setting brightness values ​​between 96 and 80.

    The pixel values ​​are adjusted throughout the image in proportion to the new values ​​associated with the highlights. All pixels lighter than the area you clicked are clipped (anchored to level 255, pure white). The Info panel displays the values ​​before and after color adjustments.

    Defining a target value for the White Point Sampler tool and selecting a highlight area to bind to the target value

  5. To assign shadow values ​​to the darkest area of ​​the image in which you want to preserve detail, double-click the Black Point Sampler tool in the Properties panel; The Color Picker will open.
