From supported models to sliced layers

Prepare, arrange and support your models, then inspect the sliced layer preview before sending a job to Athena. Reviewing slices can help catch missing details, unexpected voids or support issues early.

The workspace supports model positioning, arrangement and multiple objects on an Athena build plate.

Athena II printer and material profiles

In Printer & Material Profiles, choose the Athena II profile that matches your hardware and a compatible resin material profile. DragonFruit can show available material parameters alongside your connected printer, so you can review the planned print before exporting or uploading.

Confirm your selected printer, wavelength, resin, and slicing format before your first print.

Make DragonFruit feel like Concepts 3D

After installing DragonFruit, open Settings → Themes → Theme Presets (shown as UI & Theme in some builds) and select the Concepts 3D theme. This applies the familiar dark interface with Athena-inspired gold accents featured in our screenshots.

The appearance preset is optional and does not change printer calibration or slicing settings.

DragonFruit and Athena II

DragonFruit provides printer and material profiles for supported workflows, including Athena II configurations shown in its printer profiles interface. Choose the Athena II configuration that matches your hardware and tune the material settings for your resin.

DragonFruit is an independent Open Resin Alliance project. Concepts 3D supports the development of open resin-printing tools.
