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 ...

Polymer 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is achieved by extruding heated plastic through a nozzle. The material extruded in this image is glass fiber reinforced PETG, building a tooling jig for ...

Having a great word processor won’t actually help you write the next bestselling novel. It might make it easier, but if you have a great novel in you, you could probably write it on paper towels with ...

Most 3D printing projects start with a 3D model of some kind. Slicing programs transform the model into gcode. The gcode file contains the commands that actually drive your printer. There are ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first additive manufacturing slicing computer application to simultaneously speed and simplify digital ...
