Baseline Calibration Module
The Baseline Calibration Module is our flag ship calibration module that uses our most advanced AI models to tune filaments such as TPU, PETG, ASA and other hard to print filaments. It works great to get started printing with different filaments.

To deliver the most accurate and robust calibration system without requiring major changes to your printer, slicer, or firmware, we use a 3mf file containing all the settings and G-code you typically rely on for your projects. This approach allows us to generate calibration prints automatically through our custom Transformer. We take your 3mf file, modify it as needed, and return it ready to open in your slicer.
By doing this, we preserve your slicer’s toolpath generation algorithms and ensure the process aligns seamlessly with your usual 3D printing workflow.
Generator
The generator is responsible for creating new slicer setting combinations by combining the online calibration data with the offline training data. This approach balances the integration of your specific calibration data with the broader trends already learned.
Outputs include:
- Nozzle Temperature
- Retraction Distance
- Retraction Speed
- Flow Rate
- Part Cooling Fan %
Transformer
The transformer is responsible for merging the generator’s output with your 3mf file and adding the calibration part to the build plate. This ensures a quick and easy calibration process without the need to manually input slicer settings, add change-at-height G-code, or place calibration parts.
The transformer modifies:
- Objects on the build plate
- Change-at-height G-code
- Slicer settings
Evaluate
Submit feedback on the quality of the printed part to complete the AI's online learning loop. Feedback is provided using a star rating system, ranging from 0 to 5 in 0.5 increments, and a calibration guide is available to help you evaluate each quality metric consistently. Quality metrics include statuses such as completed, failed, or not printed, allowing the AI to understand when a setting combination performed poorly enough to cause a failure. This feedback helps the AI refine its approach and avoid similar settings in the future.
Quality metrics include:
-
- Stringing
- Bridging/Overhangs
- Surface Quality
- Small Feature Quality
- Top Surface
Offline Learning
Our extensive dataset includes information from a wide variety of printers and materials, including variations of the same material type, such as PETG from different manufacturers. This diversity creates a robust foundation for the AI to learn general trends across printer and material combinations. With this comprehensive understanding, the AI enters the online learning phase with a significant advantage, already equipped with in-depth knowledge of the entire search space.
Updated Print Profile
After completing a calibration, the new settings are saved to your original 3mf file. We then remove all calibration parts, static settings used for the calibration process, and any change-at-height G-code, leaving you with a clean, calibrated 3mf file ready for download.
Beautiful UI
Simple and intuitive design
Slicer First Calibration
Unlike other calibration methods that use generic, one-size-fits-all G-code, we use your exact 3mf file. This allows us to replicate your specific setup and environment, leading to increased accuracy and quality. By generating a customized 3mf, you can slice it in your slicer as you normally would, with the same toolpath generation, settings, and start and end G-code.
