What BCN3D Stratos is
BCN3D Stratos is free slicing software for preparing 3D prints with BCN3D Omega, Sigma, and Epsilon printers. Users can import files by browsing or dragging them in, then translate, scale, or rotate parts. The software includes validated printing profiles, and expert users can adjust more than 500 parameters. For IDEX technology, it supports multi-material models, support structures, mirror mode, and duplication mode for two print heads. Layer View displays print sections, while X-ray View reveals internal parts and hidden geometries. Print files can be sent to a networked printer or saved to removable media such as an SD card. Other listed options include gyroid infill, brim and raft adhesion settings, and bridges. BCN3D says Stratos is based on the open-source slicer Cura. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, including 64-bit Windows 10 or higher and Mac OSX 10.11 or higher. It is 64-bit software and is not available for older 32-bit systems.
