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.
Creality (simplified Chinese: 创想三维; traditional Chinese: 創想三維; pinyin: Chuàngxiǎng sānwéi; lit. 'Create and think 3D'), officially known as Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co, Ltd. , is a Chinese 3D printer manufacturing company established in 2014, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] with headquarters located in Shenzhen .
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.
Cura is an open source slicing application for 3D printers. [2] It was created by David Braam who was later employed by Ultimaker, a 3D printer manufacturing company, to maintain the software.
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 tessellation language.
In 1917 a fire broke out at the factory where Rohwedder was manufacturing his machine. It destroyed his prototype and blueprints. With the need to get funding again, Rohwedder was delayed for several years in bringing the bread slicer to market. In 1927 Rohwedder successfully designed a machine that not only sliced the bread but wrapped it.
The Guillotine is a magic trick where it appears that a blade of a guillotine passes through a person's neck without harming them. Variations on the theme have been performed for hundreds of years, with documented examples appearing in print in the 16th century.
While modern nuts and bolts are routinely made of metal, this was not the case in earlier ages, when woodworking tools were employed to fashion very large wooden bolts and nuts for use in winches, windmills, watermills, and flour mills of the Middle Ages; the ease of cutting and replacing wooden parts was balanced by the need to resist large amounts of torque, and bear up against ever heavier ...
