Try this quick guide on different steps using Meshmixer, or use this in depth Formlabs article here. 

Note: Only use Preform for creating supports.

Until such features are made available in PreForm, Formlabs suggest using free Meshmixer software to import your STL file, make the changes, and export as an STL for using back in Preform again. Read the Formlabs article here.  Note: Only use Preform for creating supports.

1. Import the desired 3D model.
2. Select the “Edit” option from the left-hand side menu bar.
3. Select the “Hollow” option.
4. Specify the wall thickness from the offset distance slider.
5. Select the number of holes and hole size if printing with resin.
6. Click on “Update hollow” and then “Generate holes”. A model with your set parameters will be generated.
7. Click and Drag the holes to where you want them, noting the inner cavity in the model image. The green cylinders signify the direction of the hole.
8. Accept the model and export it in STL file format.
