# NanoDLP for PC: How to Download & Install on Windows
## Introduction
If you run a resin 3D printer and want to control it from any device on your network, NanoDLP is the free program that does it. It is a free host and control software for SLA and DLP resin printers, with a built-in slicer, support generation and a web interface, so you manage prints from your PC browser instead of the printer screen. There is no payment, no account and no serial number, and the download from the official NanoDLP site is the complete program.
This guide explains what NanoDLP is, what it can and cannot do, what your PC needs to run it, and how to download and start it from the official website only. You will also get a first-use walkthrough that takes you from starting NanoDLP to a finished resin print in a few minutes. By the end, you should be able to run NanoDLP on Windows and use it in a real project.
NanoDLP is best for resin 3D printing, DLP and SLA printer control, and browser-based print management. Because it is free and legitimate, you do not need a cracked copy or an unknown download site. The official website provides the download, and the free version is a real, permanent tool, not a short trial.
## What Is NanoDLP?
NanoDLP is a free 3D printing program that you run on your Windows PC and use to control a resin printer. In simple terms, it is a program that runs as a small local web server on your PC: you start it, open its web interface in your browser, load an STL or OBJ file, slice it into layers, and send the print to your resin printer, watching progress and controlling the printer from any device on your network. You start it, open the browser, and print.
What makes NanoDLP useful is its control and its flexibility. Because it runs in a browser, you can manage prints from a phone, tablet or another PC, and because it is built for resin printing, it handles the details that matter for SLA and DLP, such as exposure times, lift speeds, supports and projector control. It also has a built-in slicer and a mesh repair tool. Three honest notes: NanoDLP is for resin printers only, with no support for FDM filament printers; it is free but not open source; and setup is technical, because you must enter your printer hardware details, such as the display size and projector settings, before it will print correctly.
## Key Features
– **Resin printer hosting:** Resin printer hosting controls SLA and DLP printers from your PC over the network.
– **Browser-based interface:** A browser-based interface lets you manage prints from any phone, tablet or PC on your network.
– **Built-in slicer:** A built-in slicer turns STL and OBJ files into layers for resin printing, with no extra program needed.
– **Support generation:** Support generation holds up overhangs and islands in resin prints.
– **Mesh repair tool:** A mesh repair tool fixes broken STL files before you slice them.
– **Real-time monitoring:** Real-time monitoring shows print progress, layer by layer, as the print happens.
– **Projector and display control:** Projector and display control manages the light engine that cures each resin layer.
– **Free to use:** NanoDLP is free to use, with no payment and no time limit.
## System Requirements
– **Operating System:** Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
– **Processor:** A modern dual-core processor or better
– **RAM:** At least 4 GB of RAM for basic use
– **Storage:** Around 200 MB of free disk space for the download and program files
– **Graphics:** Any graphics card with OpenGL support
– **Other:** A stable internet connection for the download, a resin 3D printer, and a web browser to open the NanoDLP interface
These are practical, modern Windows guidelines, not a word-for-word copy of an official specification table. The most important point is simple: NanoDLP is designed for normal Windows PCs, and a modest modern computer is enough to start.
## How to Download NanoDLP (Official Method)
The only safe place to download NanoDLP is the official website. Do not download it from random file mirrors or “free download” portals, because those copies may be outdated or bundled with unwanted software. The official site is the source of truth for the current version.
**Official download link:** https://www.nano3dtech.com/
On the official NanoDLP site, download the Windows package for NanoDLP to your Downloads folder. There is no account, serial number or payment involved at any point. If a site asks you to pay for NanoDLP, or offers a cracked version of it, leave that site and return to the official NanoDLP site.
## Step-by-Step Installation
Follow these steps in order. NanoDLP runs as a local web app, not as a normal desktop window, so you start the program and then open its interface in your web browser. Take your time with the printer hardware details, because those are the settings that most often cause a failed resin print.
1. **Open the official NanoDLP site** — Open https://www.nano3dtech.com/ in your browser.
2. **Download the Windows package** — Find the NanoDLP download for Windows and save the package to your Downloads folder.
3. **Extract the package** — Right-click the downloaded package and choose Extract All, then open the extracted folder.
4. **Start NanoDLP** — Double-click the NanoDLP program file in the extracted folder to start it. It runs as a small local web server on your PC.
5. **Open the web interface** — Open your web browser and go to the local NanoDLP address shown when it starts, usually on your own PC.
6. **Enter your printer details** — Enter your resin printer hardware details in NanoDLP, such as the display size and projector settings, so it can slice correctly.
7. **Load your first model** — Load an STL file into the NanoDLP web interface, so you know the program is working.
**Tip:** NanoDLP runs as a local web server, so you open its interface in your browser after starting it. If the page will not load, check that NanoDLP is still running and that your firewall is not blocking its local port.
## How to Print Your First Resin Model with NanoDLP
This walkthrough is a simple first project. It is not a full course, but it will help you see NanoDLP working on a real project and learn its main tools.
1. **Start NanoDLP and open the interface** — Start NanoDLP on your PC and open its web interface in your browser.
2. **Load an STL file** — Load an STL file from your computer into NanoDLP.
3. **Check the printer profile** — Check that your resin printer profile is selected, with the right display size and exposure settings.
4. **Generate supports** — Generate supports for any overhangs and islands in your model.
5. **Slice the model** — Slice the model into layers, so NanoDLP can send it to the printer.
6. **Send the print** — Send the sliced model to your resin printer and watch the first layers cure.
7. **Monitor the print** — Monitor the print from the web interface and stop it early if the first layers do not stick to the build plate.
## Is NanoDLP Free?
NanoDLP is free to use, from NanoDLP. You download it from the official NanoDLP site, start it, and use it without paying and without a time limit. There is no paid version of NanoDLP itself. Be aware of three honest limits: it is for resin printers only, with no support for FDM filament printers; it is free but not open source; and setup is technical, because you must enter your printer hardware details before it will print correctly.
That free status is important for this guide. All the steps here use the official download only, and they do not involve cracks, activators or licence keys. If you ever see a site offering a paid or cracked version of the free program, treat it as unsafe and return to the official site.
