Maple is a powerful general CAS which is capable of generating models for 3D printing. Maple is a powerful general CAS which is capable of generating models for 3D printing. Maple is able to export manifolds as STL and OBJ 3D data sets which can be read by CAD and 3D printing software.

• SaddlePlot := plot3d((x^2-y^2)*(1/100)+150, x = -100 .. 100, y = -100 .. 100, filled = true)
• Export(“Saddle_Maple.stl”, SaddlePlot)

When using plot3d, the surface is divided into a 50×50 grid by default.
