IMPACT OF SLICING SOFTWARE ON GEOMETRIC CORRECTNESS FOR FDM ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Abstract

The significance of additive manufacturing is progressively increasing in proportion to overall production processes. This study compares the various slicing software tools for 3D printers that are available using various setups under specific parameters. Describe the merits and downsides of FDM technology slicing software and compare its different versions in this section. The geometric and dimensional variances of the samples printed using Cura, PrusaSlicer, ideamaker, and octaprint were compared.

Keywords: Slicing software, additive manufacturing, FDM, dimensional accuracy
