Print3D
Print3D is a web portal linked to the SolidWorks software. You can contact
rapid part and prototype vendors to request price quotes and place orders
for the current part document through the Print3D web portal.
Print3D automates the prototype request process, eliminating the need
to save parts as STL files, FTP parts to vendors, or perform other operations.
