What Is Slicer Software and How Does it Enable 3D Printing? 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing, works by creating objects layer-by-layer based on a digital computer-aided design (CAD) model ...

Maybe that was the idea behind [Carolyn Schwaar’s] post on All3DP entitled “ Beyond Cura Slicer: 3D Printing Build Prep Software for Pros.” In it, she looks at a few programs that commercial ...

To program a 3D printer, engineers use a software tool called a slicer—computer code that maps an object into the virtual “slices,” or layers, that will be printed.
