7.Use of Slicing Software

The 3D printer reads the slice file and cascades out three-dimensional objects.There-

fore,users need to convert 3D format files (such as stl format or obj format) into

machinereadable slice files (such as ZIP format). This process is commonly known as

"slicing", that is, "cutting" the 3D model into many Floor.Software that can convert 3D

format files into slice files is called slice software.
