Prusa Research. The Prusa i3 is a family of fused deposition modeling 3D printers, manufactured by Czech company Prusa Research under the trademarked name Original Prusa i3. Part of the RepRap project, Prusa i3 printers were called the most used 3D printer in the world in 2016. [ 1 ] The first Prusa i3 was designed by Josef Průša in 2012, and ...
Slic3r is free software 3D slicing engine for 3D printers. It generates G-code from 3D CAD files (STL or OBJ). Once finished, an appropriate G-code file for the production of the 3D modeled part or object is sent to the 3D printer for the manufacturing of a physical object. [2][3] As of 2013, about half of the 3D printers tested by Make ...
A slicer is a toolpath generation software used in 3D printing. It facilitates the conversion of a 3D object model to specific instructions for the printer. The slicer converts a model in STL (stereolithography) format into printer commands in G-code format. This is particularly usable in fused filament fabrication and other related 3D printing ...
[84] [85] The most popular 3D printer in the world is the Prusa i3, a RepRap printer. [86] [87] Because of the FOSH aims of RepRap, many related projects have used their design for inspiration, creating an ecosystem of related or derivative 3D printers, most of which are also open-source designs. The availability of these open-source designs ...
model/x.stl-binary. Developed by. 3D Systems. Initial release. 1987. Type of format. Stereolithography. STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3][4][5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography.
Adrian Bowyer (left) and Vik Olliver (right) are members of the RepRap project. RepRap (a contraction of replicating rapid prototyper) is a project to develop low-cost 3D printers that can print most of their own components. As open designs, all of the designs produced by the project are released under a free software license, the GNU General ...
Prusa Research. The Prusa Mini, stylized as the Original Prusa MINI, is an open-source fused deposition modeling 3D printer that is manufactured by the Czech company Prusa Research. [1][2] The printer is the lowest cost machine produced by Prusa Research and is designed as a first printer or as part of a 'print farm'. [1][3][4]
Fused filament fabrication. Prusa i3, a simple fused filament printer. Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (with the trademarked acronym FDM), or filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. [1] Filament is fed from a large spool ...
