Intro

Slicing a part is how we get our 3D model into a code our printer can run. Slicing is equivalent to CAM or programming in the CNC world. The slicer takes parts and “slices” them into layers that the printer prints. The slicer generates the exact path the nozzle follows. Things like wall thickness, top and bottom thickness, speed, etc are all configured in the slicer.

Pantheon Slicer:

On July 12 we have released Pantheon Slicer

Reasons we forked our own slicer:

  • Automatic updates for our printers profiles

    • no more deleting and re-importing profiles

    • whenever print profiles are updated you will get an in-app notification

  • New Functionality in development
