IceSL is a state of the art slicer with advanced modeling capabilities. It integrates several groundbreaking ideas that this great team developed over the years, such as cubic/tetrahedral infills, bridge support structures, optimal adaptive layer thickness optimization, progressive infills, efficient offsetting, tight protective shields, maximal self-supporting cavities, and advanced path planning for dual-color printing.

IceSL core technology is exposed through three different software:

IceSL-forge is the most complete and powerful software for Windows PC. It combines modeling and slicing and gives unprecedented flexibility for modeling and fabricating complex, customizable shapes. Modeling is done through scripting with a Lua-based language that allows describing boolean combinations of shapes (triangle meshes, voxels, implicit surfaces, shaders).

IceSL-slicer focuses on slicing. Given a 3D model (e.g. STL), it will use slicing technology to generate instructions for your printer (G-code, but also images for DLP printers and cutting paths for laser cutters).

SliceCrafter is an online version of slicing technology. It is less powerful than IceSL-slicer but runs entirely from within a web browser.

Features and Highlights

Unprecedented control over your prints with settings specified per-layer
Obtain the best possible choice of slice thicknesses that will maximize part accuracy
Tetrahedral infills present an excellent compromise in speed, strength, and weight
Unique progressive infill pattern that can smoothly vary in density along with the height
Powerful support technique optimizing a reliable and disposable bridge structure
Brushes allow different strategies in different parts of a model
Geometry specified by shaders. Avoid tessellation!
Offsets can erode or dilate even the most complex objects
Self-supporting cavities and nice ooze shields that remain close to the print at all times
Clean color algorithm to improve multi-filament print quality
Print in color using a novel technique that mixes different filaments into one nozzle

If you are looking for IceSL (64-bit) alternatives, we recommend you to download Ultimaker Cura or Slic3r.

Note: IceSL app is free for research purposes.
