Adobe just brought more advanced 3D printing features to Photoshop.

The new features come in a software update, and include both new design tools and more options for 3D printing, Adobe says in a blog post. Going forward, Photoshop now supports a handful of new 3D printers and 3D print services, and can read and write in a broader range of 3D file formats.

Specifically, the new features include:

  • Support for the MakerBot Replicator 5th Generation desktop printer and DMM.com 3D print service
  • Support for additional 3D file formats including VRML, U3D, PLY, and IGES
  • Streamlined 3D painting experience
  • Ability to easily combine multiple print jobs into a single print bed

The update is the third in a set of new and enhanced 3D printing features in Photoshop CC in 6 months, since Adobe first announced 3D printing support in January.
