Creality Print 7.0.0

Creality Print v7.0 Release Notes

Creality Print 7.0 delivers a comprehensive upgrade across print quality, algorithm stability, and ecosystem experience. This release significantly enhances intelligent processing, slicing algorithm performance, system efficiency, community integration, and wide-area network control. We have also re-engineered key interface and compatibility modules to provide a more streamlined, intelligent, and highly efficient printing workflow.

1. Print Algorithm Upgrades

1.1 AI Smart Analysis: Automatic Support Detection

A new AI Analysis feature has been added to the toolbar. When AI Cloud Service is enabled, the system automatically analyzes all models in the workspace to determine whether support is required and recommends the appropriate support type (Normal/Tree). image

1.2 Layer Lines Optimization

New Process Parameter: Quality → Walls & Surface → Smoothing wall speed along Z (Experimental) image Parameter Description: Reduce visible Z-banding artifacts by smoothing speed transitions along the Z direction. It mitigates surface irregularities caused by abrupt regional speed changes, improving the uniformity of vertical wall finishes.

1.3 Ringing Artifact Optimization

New Filament Parameter: Cooling → Cooling Slowdown Logic → Consistent Surface / Uniform Cooling image

Parameter Description:

• Consistent Surface: Ensures the outermost two walls are always printed at the configured maximum speed while reducing the speed of inner paths. This maintains the original layer time without sacrificing outer-wall quality. An adjustable Outer Wall Transition Distance allows the nozzle to gradually return to normal print speed, minimizing quality loss caused by sudden speed changes.
• Uniform Cooling: Maintains the traditional minimum-layer-time logic: if the actual layer time is below the minimum threshold, all paths are slowed proportionally to ensure adequate cooling.

New Process Parameter: Speed → Travel short distance acceleration; Travel short distance threshold Parameter Description: Further refines motion behavior to reduce ringing artifacts. image

1.4 Infill

1.4.1 New Sparse Infill Pattern Types

We've added a series of high-performance sparse infill patterns optimized for strength, weight, print speed, and functional behavior. Newly supported patterns include: TPMS-FK Lattice, Zig Zag, Cross Zag, Locked Zag, Lateral Honeycomb, and Lateral Lattice.

• A. TPMS-FK Lattice: A lightweight, high-stiffness, high-stability infill designed for load-bearing and energy-absorbing structures. — TPMS-FK Lattice TPMS-FK Lattice

• B. Zig Zag: Similar to standard Line infill, its infill rotation step can be adjusted to offset the next layer's infill by a certain line width through rotation. — Zig Zag Zig Zag Zig Zag

• C. Cross Zag: Similar to standard Line infill, its infill translation step can be adjusted to offset the next layer's infill by a certain line width through translation. — Cross Zag Cross Zag

• D. Locked Zag: Supports adjusting skin and core infill types, densities, and more. — Improve surface quality: Continuous, surface-friendly infill (such as Zig Zag or Concentric) can be applied to shell contact areas to reduce the impact of internal infill on the surface, resulting in smoother and more stable top surfaces. — Enhance shell bonding and shear resistance: Grid/paths near the outer walls can use denser or stronger patterns to improve shell load-bearing capacity and interlayer strength. — Save filament / increase speed: The core region can use lightweight and efficient infill (Zig Zag, Gyroid) to reduce time and filament consumption. — Functional zoning: High-density, energy-absorbing / rigid structures can be used in contact areas while keeping the core lightweight (e.g., rigid edges and elastic cores in shoe soles). — Locked Zag Locked Zag

• E. Lateral Honeycomb: Standard honeycomb is a top-down vertical honeycomb pattern with multiple speed changes within the same layer, resulting in slower print speeds. Lateral Honeycomb has mostly continuous paths with speeds close to Zig Zag. Lateral Honeycomb = "engineering-grade infill" balancing strength + print speed + stability. — Lateral Honeycomb Lateral Honeycomb

• F. Lateral Lattice: Standard lattice infill is a top-down lattice pattern with multiple speed changes within the same layer, resulting in slower print speeds. Lateral Lattice has mostly continuous paths with speeds close to Zig Zag. Lateral Lattice = Zig Zag-like speed with lattice-like strength, an "engineering-grade infill" highly suitable for FDM. — Lateral Lattice Lateral Lattice

1.4.2 New Parameter: Fill Multiline

Fill Multiline improves part strength, stability, top surface quality, and reduces vibration by coordinating more paths working together. It is a more stable and reliable internal structure than traditional single-line infill. image
