Guide Kit
A Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity's first 3D-printed home. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths, and the technology allowed the house to be built in just 12 hours. The home also includes a 3D printer that will enable the owner to reprint maintenance needs like electrical outlets or cabinet knobs. 3D printing has matured over the years and is widely used across use cases ranging from DIY projects to affordable homes and 3D-printed terracotta tiles designed to help corals grow and restore ocean life! The printing materials have become versatile, from proprietary filaments, plastics to terracotta and concrete, expanding the use cases. kandi kit on 3D Printing Solutions covers 3D printing libraries across slicers, printer control, STL edit, and 3D modeling. Slicers break down 3D models into lines for a 3D printer. They can slice models for different printer types. Model manipulation tools are used to prepare 3D printing, laser engraving, or CNC routing items. Host and Control software helps manage 3D printers and control your machine remotely via web interfaces. They also control the printing process remotely and keep track of print jobs in progress. STL File utilities help view, edit, design, and repair STL files. Before printing, file-viewers preview G-code files.
