Cura aims to be a end solution for personal 3D printing with RepRap based machines. It is tuned toward the Ultimaker, but can be used on any RepRap based design.


BuildBee is described as 'A cloud-based slice and control software with an integrated block coding environment, basic modelling features like cookie cutter generator and lithophane generator, and a streamlined workflow. It has nifty features like an automated repair tool for broken files, a splitting' and is a 3D Printing tool in the photos & graphics category. There are more than 25 alternatives to BuildBee for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Android apps. The best BuildBee alternative is Cura, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like BuildBee are PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OctoPrint and MatterControl.

An open-source, feature-rich, frequently updated tool that contains everything you need to export the perfect print files for your 3D printer.




Bambu Studio is an open-source, cutting-edge, feature-rich slicing software. It contains project-based workflows, systematically optimized slicing algorithms, and an easy-to-use graphical interface, bringing users an incredibly smooth printing experience.


Connect your printer to a small embedded and WiFi enabled device such as the popular Raspberry Pi, install OctoPrint on it and you have an instant wireless printer.



MatterControl is a free, open source app that lets you organize and manage your 3D prints. It's designed to help you get the most out of your 3D printer - making it easy to track, preview, and print your 3D parts.

Creality Print is a self-developed Fused deposition modeling slicing software produced by Creality. It’s a practical and easy-to-use tool that can help you remote control and monitor your 3D printer and help print directly from your computer.




View, capture, personalize, and print 3D models. Download many kinds of 3D files and edit them using the 3D modeling space. Take a picture with your webcam and make it 3D.



IceSL aims at making our latest research in modeling and slicing available as quickly as possible, in powerful yet accessible software.
