8.0 Supplementary Information
8.2.2 Soware
• What operating systems are supported?
AutoMaker™ can be used with Microso Windows (7, 8), Mac OS x (10.6
x64/10.7+) and Ubuntu Linux (12.04+). For more information, see section 2.2.
• What kind of files does Robox accept? Can I only use your library?
AutoMaker™ soware will currently accept the industry standard .stl and
.obj format 3D models. These can be exported by most 3D design packages
available including SolidWorks, Creo/ProEngineer, NX, OpenSCAD,
TinkerCAD, 123d Design etc. In future, we also plan to support the new
Microso 3D Builder soware and .amf/.3mf format for Windows 8.1 support.
• Can you use AutoMaker™ to design parts?
Not yet - the included AutoMaker™ soware is for controlling and monitoring
Robox® and laying out print jobs, not for actually designing parts. There are
a number of solutions available online which will allow you to design your
own parts – including Thingiverse Customizer, TinkerCAD, Geomagic Design,
OpenSCAD, Rhino, 123d Design and 123d Sculpt.
• Does AutoMaker™ have a file size restriction for .stl/.obj files?
There isn’t any restriction on file size – the performance of the 3D
visualisation may be aected depending on the computer hardware the
soware is running on.
