Netfabb Mobile Connectivity

Project tree with iPod section

To activate the netfabb Mobile Connectivity, you have to allow netfabb to listen for iPhones or iPods and you must have inserted a name of your netfabb Studio version. This can be done in the settings.

If this is done, open netfabb Mobile on your iPhone or iPod, connect to netfabb Studio and choose the name you entered in your settings. This will open a new section in your project tree representing your netfabb Mobile. In this section, all STL files on your remote device are listed and you can organize your files as in the part section. If you double-click on the Refresh icon next to the section, the list of parts on the iPhone is updated.

If you want to view and show files while you are away from home, you can copy them from your netfabb Studio on your iPhone by dragging and dropping them from the Parts section into the iPhone section. This also works the other way round, enabling you to transport STL files with your iPhone and copying them back onto another netfabb Studio installation. Also, it enables you to copy damaged files to your netfabb Studio, repair them and copy them back onto your iPhone, or you can use the files you copied from the iPhone for slicing or manufacturing. If you want to delete files from your iPhone after you have copied them into your netfabb Studio, simply double-click on the red X next to the part.

When you are finished, you can disconnect from netfabb Studio in your netfabb Mobile installation on the iPhone, or by double-clicking on the red X next to the iPod section in the project tree of your netfabb Studio.
