Using the split function in 3D builder you can slice a model into a number of smaller parts along certain planes or axis to reduce the need for support or to eliminate overhangs.

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.

Teton launches Smart Slice simulation 3D printing tool The software automatically optimizes slicing parameters for 3D printers, reduces print iterations and provides near instant feedback on the ...

One may think that when it comes to 3D printing, slicing software is pretty much a solved problem. Take a 3D model, slice it into flat layers equal to layer height, and make a toolpath so the nozzl… ...

Scientists have now developed a non-invasive 3D-scanning approach to gain insights into the main morphological features of the overlapping finishing layers used on violins.

The IceBridge team has now used the measurements - captured with a 3D laser imaging device - to create a 3D model of the crack in Pine Island Glacier, and an incredible video of what it would be ...
