When slicing a model for 3D printing, the part is divided into a stack of flat, 2D layers. But there’s an alternative in the form of non-planar slicing, where the layers can follow 3D curves.
With proper tuning, any 3D printer can create exceptionally detailed physical replicas of digital files. The time it takes for a printer to print an object at very high detail is another matter ...
So we coined the name RECILS — slicer in reverse.” Yumoto notes that most 3D printers currently target two types of applications: larger objects tens to hundreds of centimetres in size or tiny ...
