Question regarding pathing

Hello all,

I work in research and I am in the process of helping a company develop a new filament. What I am looking for is a software that will allow me to control the path of the print. For example, I need to make some tensile samples with the filament by making the paths all run in the same direction. Yes I understand it will be weak in other directions but we only need to test tensile strength. I have heard Simplify 3D is capable of controlling paths but I cannot find that feature on the site. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Re: Question regarding pathing

It gives you more control over the actual infill patterns than most software. So in your case, it would be pretty easy to setup a print that only uses infill and only prints that fill in one direction. So I think it would work for what you're trying to do.
