A 3D printer takes a 3D model and turns in into a plastic part. To do this there are a number of pieces of software complete this task. We suggest the following open source applications:


Slic3r:

Slic3r takes a 3D model (usually a .stl file) and turns it into Gcode. Gcode is the instructions for the 3D printer to create the part.
