Slicer Software – Everything You Need to Know for 3D Printing
A slicer is the essential bridge between your 3D model and your 3D printer. It is software that converts a 3D model (STL or OBJ) into instructions (G-code) that a 3D printer can follow, by “slicing” the model into thin horizontal layers. Without a slicer, your printer has no way to know how to physically…
STL File – What Is It and How to Use It for 3D Printing
An STL (STereoLithography) file is the most widely used file format in 3D printing. It describes the surface geometry of a 3D object using a mesh of triangles, without any color or texture information. Whether you are a beginner downloading your first model or an experienced designer exporting from CAD software, understanding STL files is…
