The short answer

IdeaMaker is slicing software for Raise3D's 3D printing solutions. [1] The facts gathered here for SuperSlicer do not describe what its page says it does, so check its own page for its features. LunarWerx 3D Print is a set of browser tools that work out ironing settings, check a part for injection moulding and design 3D-printable foam inserts. [2]

If you use a Raise3D printer, IdeaMaker's source says it is compatible with most FFF 3D printers and Raise3D DLP printers. [1] If you want ironing settings exported as a ready 3MF file, the LunarWerx 3D Print claims say it does that. [2] The three can be looked at as different jobs rather than strict replacements.

What LunarWerx 3D Print is built for

LunarWerx 3D Print is made by the team that publishes this site. It is a set of browser tools for ironing settings, injection moulding checks and foam inserts. [2]

The ironing helper works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file. [2] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate, and you mark each pad as worked or not. [2] You can click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each picked surface. [2]

The mould helper runs 13 checks, shows shrinkage, pressure and weak-point maps, and builds the two mould halves; all numbers are estimates. [2] The foam tool lays parts out in a box and designs a foam tray and top pad that each part lifts out of. [2] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [2]

Setting it up and printing

IdeaMaker is compatible with most FFF 3D printers and Raise3D DLP printers. [1]

LunarWerx 3D Print runs in a web browser. [2] You use it on its website, which is hosted on Cloudflare. [2] It runs only in your browser; sign in with Connections and your settings, recent test plates and print results follow you to every computer. [2]

For your slicer, an uploaded Bambu or Orca project gets per-object ironing settings, and the rest of the file stays unchanged. [2] One checkbox slows just the first layer to 15 mm/s by default. [2]

The facts gathered for SuperSlicer do not describe setup steps or printer compatibility, so check its own page for those details.
