OrcaSlicer is an open-source slicing application for FFF and FDM 3D printers, built as a community-driven evolution of Bambu Studio. It focuses on precision, calibration, speed, and broader printer compatibility for users who want more control over their prints. The software includes tools for slicing models, generating supports, tuning print parameters, and preparing high-quality G-code. It is popular among users who want advanced calibration workflows and flexible settings beyond basic slicer defaults. OrcaSlicer is also maintained with active community involvement, documentation, and frequent development builds. ...

Bambu Studio is a feature-rich slicing application designed to provide a smooth, project-based 3D printing workflow. It is built on PrusaSlicer and Slic3r foundations while adding Bambu Lab’s own interface, optimized slicing behavior, and printer-focused tools. The software is especially suited for Bambu Lab printers, but its open-source base also makes it relevant to the broader 3D printing community. It helps users prepare models, manage projects, adjust slicing settings, preview toolpaths, and send print-ready files to compatible machines. Bambu Studio emphasizes ease of use without removing advanced controls needed for more complex prints. ...

...Instead of forcing users to download native apps or create accounts on closed metaverse services, Manyfold runs entirely in the browser, letting people join 3D spaces with simple links and participate in real time using avatars, voice chat, and object interaction. Users can build or import shared 3D worlds, arrange media, embed content, and design interactive layouts that support presentations, workshops, social events, games, and team gatherings without heavy software installations. The platform emphasizes accessibility and flexibility, making 3D collaboration as easy as sharing a document link while still providing spatial audio, synchronized interactions, and physics-aware environments that feel alive and responsive.

The DarkLight Cover/Calibrator (DLC) is a DIY project to build a motorized telescope cover, flat panel, or a combination flip-flat system. Its modular design supports various setups: a 12V light panel without a servo for a wall-mounted calibration panel, a servo-only cover for sky flats, or both integrated into a flip-flat mechanism. The DLC also includes optional dew heating to reduce extra equipment and cabling. With available drivers, it works with ASCOM or INDI. We’re excited to...

...No cloud services, accounts, or internet connectivity are required. The software is distributed as a community edition, free for personal and internal business use, and is provided as a prebuilt Windows installer. This project is intended for: 3D printing hobbyists and makers Small workshops and print farms Users who want simple

PotterDraw is a free 3D software application for designing and visualizing pottery. It’s useful for creating cylindrical shapes such as pots, flasks, vases, bowls, plates, cups, glasses, goblets, or anything similar. The outer wall of the pot is drawn using a spline, which consists of one or more curved or linear segments. The inner wall is generated automatically. PotterDraw can export files suitable for 3D printing. It can also map synthesized or user-specified textures onto the pot....

This project provides a set of solid modeling tools which aims to help processing 3D objects with complex topology and geometry that are widely used in many industrial applications (e.g., microstructure design and manufacturing, biomedical products and applications, jewelry products, reverse engineering). The system is completely GPU-based and heavily based on an implicit representation named LDNI.
