Slic3r is free software 3D slicing engine for 3D printers. It generates G-code from 3D CAD files (STL or OBJ). Once finished, an appropriate G-code file for the production of the 3D modeled part, or object is sent to the 3D printer for the manufacturing of a physical object.
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.

On August 31, 2014, Cura was included in a review of 3D slicing software by Think3DPrint3D. [24] In the summer of 2015, Ultimaker released Cura 2.0. [25] [26] [27] On January 1, 2018, All3DP named Cura one of the best 3D slicer software tools. [8] In 2019, Cura was named one of the top free 3D printing tools by the industry blog, G2. [28]
In the 2010s, controller differences and incompatibility were mitigated with the widespread adoption of CAD/CAM applications that were capable of outputting machine operations in the appropriate G-code for a specific machine through a software tool called a post-processor (sometimes shortened to just a "post").
3D Slicer is a free open source software (BSD-style license) that is a flexible, modular platform for image analysis and visualization. 3D Slicer is extended to enable development of both interactive and batch processing tools for a variety of applications.
The software then allows users to access, download, modify, and print their models wirelessly via their 3D printer. [18] AstroPrint is built with a multitude of 3D printing technologies, including Cura , Repetier-Host , Slic3r , and OctoPrint . [ 19 ]
Following is a list of notable software, computer programs, used to develop a mathematical representation of any three dimensional surface of objects, as 3D computer graphics, also called 3D modeling.
