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.


Repetier is described as 'Software for controlling RepRap style 3D-printer like Mendel, Darwin or Prusa mendel. Works with most firmware types. It is optimized to work with Repetier-Firmware Other working firmware is Sprinter, Teacup, Marlin and all compatible firmwares' and is a 3D Printing tool in the system & hardware category. There are more than 10 alternatives to Repetier for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Web-based and Android apps. The best Repetier alternative is Cura, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Repetier are PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, MatterControl and Creality Print.

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.


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.

STL-to-GCODE translator for RepRap printers
Here comes Slic3r! Its features are:


Slic3r does not have direct printer control. Repetier does not have slicing capabilities. They are quite different.


An experimental open source slicer for masked stereolithography (resin) printers. Currently, only ELEGOO .goo files can be generated. You can read more about the development of this project on its project page.

Printrun is a full suite of host interfaces for 3D printers and CNC, consisting of:

Professional 3D printing software streamlines the process of 3D printing, leading to better results.
-The fastest slicer on the market -Customizable support structures -Support for dual extrusion and multi-part printing -Robust yet user-friendly



Netfabb is not just a viewer, it provides mesh edit, repair and analysis capabilities to everyone already being or aspiring to become part of this fantastic, growing, creative, high-tech industry called Additive Manufacturing, Rapid Prototyping or 3D Printing.

it is good to create and adjust a 3d model, while Repetier is able to control the slicing and 3d printing process.


Not a source to actually control and interface with reprap 3d prtiner like Repetier can.
