previewing g-code
“Slicing” is the term used to describe the process of translating a digital model into
line-by-line printer instructions called “G-code.” The software slices the model into G-
Code based on the variables you have selected in the FFF Settings window.
After you have finalised your Process
settings, click Prepare to Print! to trigger the
preparation of G-Code. Simple models will
be sliced in seconds, while complex models
may take several minutes.
When your G-Code has been created, the
software
window
will
transition
automatically to Preview Mode.
The animated Preview Mode in the Simpify3D
®
Software allows you to inspect all
aspects of your print operation prior to execution. The software takes your generated
G-Code and virtually displays line by line how your model will be constructed.
