Questions

Switching, the short answers.

Can I use SimplyPrint and Layers3D together?

Yes. Plenty of shops keep a farm tool for the printers. Layers3D still handles the quote, the order board, labels, tracking and the invoice.

Can I bring my customers and orders over?

Yes. Settings › Data imports customers and past orders from a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel), and you can undo an import if it comes out wrong.

How much does Layers3D cost?
