This language is called G-code, and to describe it in its simplest form, it is code that tells the printer head where to move and when. To create G-code, we utilize software called slicers.
In this chapter, we will create simple G-code programs before we investigate the various slicer programs in use today for 3D printing.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
In this chapter, we will get acquainted with 3D printers. To complete the hands-on ...
