What this is: One public English how-to page on softwaretraining.co.za, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project. This is AM softwaretraining PrintUP (PrintUP / PrintUp / PrintUp 3D / AM3D named on this live HTML title, tags, and body; tags also name AM.CO.ZA / Channel Letters / 3D Printing / Printing), not UltraPrint, not VinylCut, and not a third-party RIP. Knowledge on this page is universal and cited to this softwaretraining URL. This page is a standalone PrintUP how-to titled The Spiralize Characteristic Tool Feature within the PrintUP 3D Printing Software. This is a how-to, not an INDEX. This is not a numbered mini-series part on this live HTML (no "Part N" in the H1; Mini-Series only appears in unused RSS titles, not as this page's series). This fills leftover avia next of already-ingested VinylCut vinylcut-remove-strokes. Distinct from already-ingested VinylCut training/vinylcut-remove-strokes.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/vinylcut-remove-strokes; avia prev chrome on this URL; already in KB; dest 42777 not touched; leftover VinylCut HTML not reused; not recrawled; leftover already-in-KB; not a twin of this PrintUP how-to; that dest is WP 28792; this PrintUP how-to is WP 28791), from already-ingested PrintUP Print Setup Part 3 training/channel-letters-filling-top.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/channel-letters-filling-top; already in KB; dest 44428 not touched; leftover Part 3 HTML not reused; not recrawled; WP 28665), from already-ingested PrintUP Grid Characteristic Part 1 training/channel-letters-grid-characteristic.md (already in KB; dest 41299 not touched; leftover Part 1 HTML not reused; not recrawled; WP 28619), from already-ingested PrintUP Step Characteristic Part 2 training/channel-letters-step-characteristic.md (already in KB; dest 44410 not touched; leftover Part 2 HTML not reused; not recrawled; WP 28620), from already-ingested PrintUP Grid and Step Characteristics INDEX training/channel-letters-characteristics.md (already in KB; dest 30611 not touched; leftover INDEX HTML not reused; not recrawled; WP 28618), from unused avia next https://softwaretraining.co.za/flexiprint-uv-print-ready-files (title: "Finalizing Your Print Ready Files Within the SAi FlexiPRINT UV 22 Software (Part 9)"; pretty slug printed; not invented; not fetched; SAi FlexiPRINT not PrintUP; next-fire pretty slug). This HTML has no body Mini-Series, no body previous, no body next, and no in-series PrintUP part number on the H1.

Not FabriCAM / FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / UltraPrint / AcroRIP / InkRIP / CorelDRAW / Photoshop / VinylCut this how-to.

How to use Spiralize in PrintUP (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented. Cleaned steps from that live block:

  1. This is a standalone PrintUP how-to for the Spiralize (page spelling also spiralis / spiral lights) tool under Characteristic. No Mini-Series / no Part N is printed on this H1. Avia prev on this URL is already-ingested VinylCut https://softwaretraining.co.za/vinylcut-remove-strokes (dest 42777 not touched; leftover already-in-KB; not recrawled). Avia next is a different SAi FlexiPRINT page at https://softwaretraining.co.za/flexiprint-uv-print-ready-files (pretty slug printed; not invented; not fetched; next-fire).
  2. Open the Characteristic menu on the main menu. The live block names spiral lights on and spiralis off. Preview does not show the spiralize path when it is on.
  3. Default off: the 3D printer prints the letter / channel letters in layers. The live block walks a top-layer preview: a starting edge, then the first top layer runs until that layer is complete.
  4. Spiralize on: the path starts at one point, goes in a circle, then climbs a step and continues. The live block says this can be convenient, but it is hard to get a level top surface; the finished design keeps a climb / spiral end at the top.
  5. Recap named on this page: for most cases leave Spiralize off (layer at a time). If you do not use it, open Characteristic and switch it off again. Try it if it matches the design. The live closer names softwaretraining.co.za. Avia next on this URL is FlexiPRINT UV print-ready files, not a PrintUP in-series part.
