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 ...
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.
RepRap (a contraction of replicating rapid prototyper) is a project to develop low-cost 3D printers that can print most of their own components. As open designs , all of the designs produced by the project are released under a free software license , the GNU General Public License .
The Blender ID is a unified login for Blender software and service users, providing a login for Blender Studio, the Blender Store, the Blender Conference, Blender Network, Blender Development Fund, and the Blender Foundation Certified Trainer Program.
The KTX 2.0 extension for universal texture compression enables 3D models in the glTF format to be highly compressed and to use natively supported texture formats, reducing file size and boosting rendering speed. [28] Draco is a glTF extension for mesh compression, to compress and decompress 3D meshes, to help reduce the size of 3D files.
Cults was founded in 2014 and is the first fully independent 3D printing marketplace. [1]In 2015, La Poste established a partnership with Cults and 3D Slash to develop impression3d.laposte.fr, a digital manufacturing service, allowing users to have objects printed and shipped to them on demand.
The 3DBenchy is a 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. [1] The 3DBenchy is described by its creator, Creative Tools, as "the jolly 3D printing torture-test " and was released (initially only in STL format ) in April 2015, with a multi-part, multi-colour model released in July 2015.
