Orca Slicer is an application for Windows that provides tools to convert digital 3D models into printer-ready G-code files.
Profiles
There are powerful tools which help to create complex prints with different materials. Users are able to reproduce the objects with different textures or even mechanical properties as long as they have advanced machines. It is possible to adjust the settings and save multiple profiles to easily switch between height, infill density and other parameters.
The software works well with several popular formats like STL, OBJ and 3MF. It is possible to import projects from well-known design programs such as Blender and Maya. The same goes for printers. Orca Slicer supports modern models of Prusa, Creality and Nycubic brands.
Settings
Moreover, the program includes advanced configuration options enabling you to tweak support structures, retraction settings and print bed adhesion. Based on your field of work, you can customize the program and reproduction process according to your preferences and needs.
Besides, you are able to preview your 3D illustrations in layers and simulate the process before printing. This gives you additional opportunity to check your models and make sure all adjustments are included.
