How to slice a model for 3D printing
This lesson looks at the process of slicing a file ready for 3D printing. It provides an overview of key 3D printing terms (I.e. infill, density, raft) and explains the importance of simulation in completing a print successfully. This resource uses UPStudio software as its example but the key terms should be applicable to a range of slicing software.
