ElegooSlicer is a slicer compatible with most FDM printers that runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers are a popular, cost-effective 3D printing technology for creating, prototyping, and manufacturing, using heated thermoplastic filaments (PLA, ABS, PETG) extruded layer-by-layer.
Currently, ElegooSlicer is undergoing rapid iteration, with more features to be released soon.
This is free and open source software.
