Before you slice your 3D model, you need to make sure that it is suitable for 3D printing. Some models may have errors, such as holes, gaps, overlapping faces, or inverted normals, that can cause ...

Lastly, make sure your 3D printer supports the open-source file formats you're using; some can print directly from STL, OBJ, AMF, or 3MF files without the need for slicing.

One of the foremost problems is the process of slicing. This is where 3D geometry is transformed into the G-code which defines the path taken by the 3D printer during production of a component.

Program only works with print files that contain a "minimized_slices" folder. For now, you can rename the highest-level folder of slices to "minimized_slices" and it should work fine. Currently ...

After four years of development, Teton Simulation Software (Layramie, Wyo., U.S.) has officially launched its Smart Slice for Ultimaker (Geldermalsen, Netherlands) Essentials simulation tool for ...

Around two months ago I wondered if I could control my non-networked 3D printer from a Discord bot using some programming and an old Chromebox turned server. CloudSlicer is the slicing portion of that ...

The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object.

So, you got a 3D printer for the holidays, and you’re excited to dive in. Chances are, you’re not sure where to begin. What can you print? What’s fun? What’s useful?

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to 3D print your very own miniatures for D&D or other tabletop experiences.

SLICE-100K, introduced by researchers at Iowa State and NYU, is a groundbreaking dataset of over 100,000 G-code files and CAD models, aimed at advancing 3D printing and digital manufacturing. This ...
