Non uniform scaling

I’ve asked for this before - but please give us the option to do non uniform scaling :upside_down_face:

Every other slicer out there has this, and it’s incredibly useful for adjusting production parts so they hit tighter tolerances. I find myself needing to do this more and more as we do further production work for ourselves & clients.

TIA! :folded_hands:

But it does offer non-uniform scaling. When you click on the scale option it gives 3 axis scale choices.

I just tried the scaling myself… YEP! NO non-uniform scaling. Come on, Formlabs. we just need check boxes on the single scale to make them all scale together or an un-checkbox on each axis to disconnect it from the scaling. I would think this would be standard tooling for a slicer.

My apologies Leonhart88. I should have checked before answering.:saluting_face:

First time someone asked for non-uniform scaling on this forum was in 2020… Doesn’t bode well for Formlabs to ignore a common feature request for so long.

This is a feature that could be implemented within hours, let alone 6 years. Makes you think what the point of even asking us what features we would like to see in Preform even is if they can’t implement one of the simplest and most requested after so long.

Yeah. Sometimes I feel like the software is getting a bit bloated with new features rather than improving important workflows. Kind of typical imo when companies start growing and getting larger :smiling_face_with_tear:
