Anyone looking to control and monitor every aspect of their 3D printer
About OctoPrint
Control and monitor every aspect of your 3D printer and your printing jobs right from within your browser. OctoPrint's powerful plugin system allows extending its functionality with awesome plugins from the community. Free and open source software released under the Affero General Public License (AGPL). Control and monitor every aspect of your 3D printer and your printing jobs right from within your browser: Access the embedded webcam feed and watch remotely how your printer is creating your newest thing, get constant feedback regarding the current progress of your print job, take a look at the integrated GCODE visualizer to see a rendition of the GCODE you are currently printing, keep an eye on the temperatures of your hotends and print bed and adapt them on the fly, move the print head along all axes, extrude, retract or just define your own custom controls, start, stop or just pause your current print job, you are in full control at any time.

Slic3r
The Slic3r project has been under active and massive development. Make sure you get 1.3.0 now or try the development builds! Slic3r is free software, developed by Alessandro Ranellucci with the help of several contributors and a wonderful community. Turn your 3D models into G-code. Visual preview of toolpaths. Advanced configuration management. Custom G-code with conditional logic. Print spool queue (print on multiple machines simultaneously) or send to OctoPrint. FDM/FFF and SLA/DLP. Modifiers (distinct settings on custom regions). Most features are exposed from command line, thus providing a handy tool for batch operations and custom integrations. A C++ library for building custom applications on top of the Slic3r internal algorithms. Handle 3D models (open, repair, transform, convert). Generate G-code in many flavors. Generate infill patterns. Send G-code over serial port. Estimate G-code printing time.

3dSynth
3dSynth is a generative 3D printing tool that creates G-code directly from mathematical rules instead of traditional 3D models. It completely bypasses the STL and slicer workflow, allowing users to generate printer-ready toolpaths straight from adjustable parameters. Every form is defined numerically, giving precise control over shape, texture, and structure in real time. Users can stack modular effects like ripples, blobs, noise, twists, and polygons to build complex organic or geometric surfaces. A real-time 3D preview shows the exact toolpath as it will be printed, helping catch issues before exporting. Spiral vase mode enables continuous Z printing for single-wall objects like vases and lampshades with translucent and sculptural effects. The final output is optimized G-code compatible with common FDM/FFF printers, ready to print without post-processing.

ideaMaker
IdeaMaker prepares Gcode for 3D printing and support STL, OBJ, OLTP and 3MF files. It features user-friendly interface and limitless customization for advanced users.
For example, ideaMaker allows adaptive layer heights to automatically adjust the layer height depending on detail level required for printed area, further improving quality and reducing print time. Furthermore, user can differentiate the settings for single or multiple models by Modifier, Per-Group Setting, and Per-Layer Setting. In additional, ideaMaker provides customized support, free cut and model repair.
ideaMaker is seamlessly linked to Raise3D’s other resources and tools. RaiseCloud is a cloud-based printer management platform enabling automate small batch manufacturing and print remotely. ideaMaker Library is an open library for user to get and share slicing profiles, model files and printing files. ideaMaker enables user to upload Gcode to Octoprint, thus its connected any 3rd party open-source 3D printer.
