FDM WORKING : A 3D model file (usually a .STL or .OBJ) is imported into a program called a slicer. Cura, Slic3r, and Simplify3D are all great examples of slicer programs. This program will “slice” the object into single layers and create gcode that tells the printer where to move and also controls parameters like print speed and temperature. Gcode is sent to the machine The printing nozzle heats and melts filament that’s forced through the nozzle The object is built layer by layer with each successive layer fusing on top of the one below it until the 3D object is complete Software recommended: Slic3r , Cura & Ideamaker SLA WORKING : The 3D Model is imported into a slicing program like PreForm, Ideamaker, A tank is filled with liquid photo-polymer resin A build platform lowers into the tank and one layer of the design is traced by a UV laser. The laser is positioned using...
