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]
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 ...

Free and open-source software portal; 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.
Form 1 3D printers began shipping to backers in May 2013 after months of delayed production. [15] [16] The Form 1 used a 3D printing process known as stereolithography, wherein liquid resin is cured, or hardened, into a solid material by the application of laser light. Although previously available in larger, more expensive machines, the Form 1 ...
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.
In 2018, Zortrax launched Inkspire, a desktop resin 3D printer. It is an upgrade to traditional stereolithography printers. [9] In 2020, Zortrax collaborated with the European Space Agency to develop a technology that enables the production of 3D printing composite parts using two blends of PEEK filament. [10] [11]
Bambu Lab's first product, the Bambu Lab X1, is a desktop 3D printer that launched on Kickstarter in 2022. The campaign raised $7 million, making it one of the most successful 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns of all time. [4] [5] Time Magazine named the X1 one of the Best Inventions of 2022. [4]
