The intelligence layer for 3D printing
Make 3D prints Smarter., Better., Faster., Stronger.
Assess your print success before you commit, then enhance speed & quality. Don't print blind.
We work with the best
Assess
FREESee problems before you waste time and filament
- Flags warping, weak layers, and stringing before the first layer goes down
- Free and unlimited — one click, results in seconds, right inside your slicer
- No more guessing at slicer settings
Enhance
From $9.99/moOptimize print speed, strength, and reliability
- 10–40% faster prints with no loss in strength or quality
- Rewrites your G-code speed, layer by layer
- No manual re-slicing. Works automatically after Assess

Value Calculator
For teams & businesses
Quantify what Helio is worth for you
If you’re producing parts (not just tinkering), speed alone isn’t the goal. You want faster prints without trading away strength or reliability. Enhance automatically optimizes speed, strength, and print consistency—so you can ship parts with fewer reruns.
- See time savings across a typical week/month
- Estimate labor + machine utilization impact
- Account for reduced failures and reruns
- Make the case for upgrades with real numbers
Why it matters
Small per‑part savings compound quickly when you’re running batches. The Value
Calculator helps you decide when Enhance pays for itself.
Best for print farms, service bureaus, and engineering teams shipping functional parts.
How it works
A simple flow that fits your existing workflow.
1
Slice
Generate G-code in your slicer as usual.
2
Assess
Simulate and spot risk areas before you 3D print.
3
Enhance
Tune speed/quality while protecting reliability.
4
3D Print
Run the job with fewer surprises and reruns.
