Windows 8.1 Cranks Up Support for 3D Printing
The coming Windows 8.1 update, due in the fall, will bring include better support for 3D printers, Microsoft announced Wednesday.
Microsoft vice president Antoine Leblond showed off the new ability at the company's Build 2013 keynote. With a MakerBot 3D printer hooked up to a Windows 8 PC, Leblond showed that printing objects was as easy as selecting the Devices icon from the Windows 8 Charms menu, then the printer.
In Windows 8.1, developers will be able to build 3D printer support into their apps through the new API. For users, that means fewer pieces of software to install, and over time, more apps that will work with 3D printers.
