Formlabs releases PreForm 1.0 and begins accepting Bitcoin payments

Currently 3D printing isn't nearly as easy or as fun as it needs to be in order to catch on, but Formlabs is trying to change that. At CES 2014, the company released PreForm 1.0, an updated and simplified version of its beta software that's been available for its Form 1 3D printer. Aside from getting a complete UI overhaul, PreForm 1.0 now supports OBJ files, letting users take SketchUp models and make them 3D-printer ready. They've also added "quick release tabs," which make it much easier and faster for you to remove models from the printer when they're finished.
