Intelligent analysis to ensure printability
Blueprint Studio checks each model before it prints, then repairs or adjusts what it finds.
Defect detection and repair
Finds reversed normals, isolated, intersecting, missing or overlapping faces. It offers a Boolean union or an automatic repair.
Printability check
Flags suction cups (closed inner spaces), inverse fillets, cantilevers, large cross-sections or thin walls before you print.
Parameter optimisation
More than 10,000 simulations behind the parameters Blueprint sets for each print.
Connect and manage anywhere
The desktop software, web platform and Blueprint Go mobile app let you monitor your devices from anywhere.
Cloud task assignment
Send print jobs then start printing from anywhere, on your PC or your phone.
Print monitoring and status updates
Follow each device’s status with every job’s progress in real time.
OTA updates
Over-the-air updates keep your 3D printers up to date with the latest Blueprint printing strategies.

Is Blueprint Studio free?
Yes. HeyGears gives Blueprint Studio away for Windows and Mac, with no licence to buy. Enter your name and email at the top of this page for the download.
Which devices does Blueprint Studio work with?
It prepares print files for the HeyGears Reflex series. It also manages jobs on HeyGears washing or curing units.
Does it run on a Mac?
Yes. HeyGears makes versions for Macs with Apple M-series processors as well as for Macs with Intel processors. The Windows version needs Windows 10 or later.
Do I need an internet connection?
Remote access, control or scheduling need the computer to stay online. You can also use the slicer without logging in, then print from a USB drive.
Can I use third-party resins?
The Print Process Editor in Open Material Mode opens the key exposure settings for third-party 405 nm resins. HeyGears supports it on the Reflex RS and RS Turbo so far, with other Reflex models in development.
What is Blueprint Go?
The Blueprint Go app for Android or iOS monitors your prints from your phone. It does not slice, so files are still prepared in Blueprint Studio.
