A slicer is a toolpath generation software used in 3D printing. It facilitates the conversion of a 3D object model to specific instructions for the printer. The slicer converts a model in STL (stereolithography) format into printer commands in G-code format. This is particularly usable in fused filament fabrication and other related 3D printing ...

STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Chuck Hull , the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography , [ 6 ] although it is also referred to as standard triangle language or standard ...
This is a list of notable manufacturers of 3D printers. 3D printers are a type of robots that are able to print 3D models using successive layers of raw materials. 0–9 3D makeR Technologies – Barranquilla, Colombia
Inventor allows analyzing 2D and 3D CAD models by creating a virtual representation of the final product in order to validate the form, fit, and functioning before it is built. [ 2 ] Autodesk Inventor supports parametric , direct edit, freeform modeling part modeling, and assembly modeling.
Art of Illusion is a free software, and open source software package [1] for making 3D graphics. [2] It provides tools for 3D modeling, texture mapping, and 3D rendering still images and animations. Art of Illusion can also export models for 3D printing in the STL file format. [3] [4]
Additive manufacturing file format (AMF) is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing.The official ISO/ASTM 52915:2016 [1] [2] standard is an XML-based format designed to allow any computer-aided design software to describe the shape and composition of any 3D object to be fabricated on any 3D printer via a computer-aided manufacturing ...
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
