3D and Photo Printer

A guide for using Squires 3D printer

How It Works

3D printers use a computer-aided software called a “slicer” to create three-dimensional objects from a three-dimensional model on what is called an “STL” file (which stands for stereolithography, sometimes referred to as Standard Triangle Language). The “sliced” STL file gives the printer the necessary instructions for it to build the 3D printed model one layer at a time.
