Saving projects
Starting with PreForm 3.62.0, PreForm supports projects—you can set up builds across different printers and materials, switch between them from the new project panel, and move parts freely as your project plan evolves.
Saving all builds in a project
Projects with multiple builds save as a single FORM file. Use the File menu or keyboard shortcuts to save and load project FORM files normally without needing to save each build separately.

- Choose where to save the file.
