Slicing Software Slicing software translates 3D models into instructions (G-code) for a 3D printer by dividing the model into horizontal layers. It determines parameters such as layer height, print speed, support generation, and infill density. Popular slicing software includes Cura, PrusaSlicer, and Simplify3D, each offering different levels of customization and optimization. Some slicers incorporate AI-driven enhancements to reduce print time or improve structural integrity. Proper configuration in slicing software significantly impacts the final print’s quality and success rate. Many slicers allow for previewing tool paths, estimating print time, and simulating potential errors before printing begins. |
