Why makers look past SuperSlicer

This page has no published facts about SuperSlicer, so it cannot say what SuperSlicer does, supports or costs. Read SuperSlicer's own page for its systems, features and price before you decide, and use the options below as points of comparison.

A maker who wants a different tool for a different printer, or for a different job such as ironing settings or mould checks, has reasons to compare the options on this page. Each option is described only by the facts its own page gives, and the sections below say what those facts are.

OrcaSlicer: slicer for filament printers on three systems

OrcaSlicer is free and is made for filament 3D printers, which are called FDM printers. ^[3] It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. ^[3]

The facts gathered for this page do not cover its other features, so check its own page for the features you rely on before you decide.

PrusaSlicer: slicer that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux

PrusaSlicer is free, and its page says no account is required. ^[4] It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. ^[4]

The facts gathered for this page do not cover its other features, so check its own page for the features you rely on before you decide.

UltiMaker Cura: free slicer with custom settings

UltiMaker Cura is free. ^[5] Its Custom mode gives over 400 settings for fine control. ^[5]

If you want to adjust many settings yourself, Custom mode is the part of the program to look at first. ^[5] The facts gathered for this page do not cover anything else about it, so check its own page for other features before you decide.

Bambu Studio: slicer with project-based workflows

Bambu Studio describes its workflows as project-based. ^[1]

The facts gathered for this page do not publish a price for Bambu Studio, so check its own site before comparing cost.

LunarWerx 3D Print: browser tools for ironing, mould checks and packing foam

LunarWerx 3D Print is made by the team that publishes this site. It runs in a web browser. ^[2] Ironing is a pass that smooths top surfaces. For ironing, the tool works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file, a common project file format for 3D printing. ^[2] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate around your settings, and you mark each pad as worked or not. ^[2] For an uploaded Bambu or Orca project, it adds per-object ironing settings and keeps the rest of the file unchanged. ^[2]

One tool checks whether a part can be made by injection moulding, where plastic is pressed into a mould, using 13 checks, and all numbers are estimates. ^[2] Another lays parts out in a box and designs a 3D-printable foam tray and top pad. ^[2] On load it turns backwards-facing faces of an STL outward and tells you how many it fixed. ^[2]

How to pick the right SuperSlicer alternative

If you want a free slicer with a custom mode that offers many settings, look at UltiMaker Cura.

If you want a slicer that needs no account, check PrusaSlicer, whose page says none is required. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

If you want project-based workflows, check Bambu Studio's page for the details before choosing it.

If you want a free slicer, OrcaSlicer is listed as free. ^[3]

If you already use Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer and only want ironing settings, LunarWerx 3D Print can add per-object ironing settings to an uploaded project. ^[2] You can also click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each one. ^[2] It runs in a web browser. ^[2]

Check that the alternative you choose covers the features you rely on in SuperSlicer, since the facts gathered here do not describe SuperSlicer's features.
