Optimally, I print the hose adapter with five walls and the 3D honeycomb infill pattern. This takes 90 minutes and nearly 69g of filament. Changing things up with the modifications I mentioned ...

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 ...

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 ...

After four years of development, Teton Simulation Software (Layramie, Wyo., U.S.) has officially launched its Smart Slice for Ultimaker (Geldermalsen, Netherlands) Essentials simulation tool for ...

When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves. [Rene K.
