What SuperSlicer is

SuperSlicer is free, open-source slicing software for preparing 3D prints on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a PrusaSlicer fork based on Slic3r and is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3. The software offers a 3D preview, varied infill, spiral vase mode, multiple layer heights in one print, and choices for supports, rafts, brims, and skirts. Multiple objects can use distinct print settings, while multiple extruders and G-code flavors such as RepRap, Makerbot, Mach3, and Machinekit are supported. Calibration includes built-in prints and custom-generated tests. Other tools include STL auto-repair, multithreaded processing, cooling and dynamic print-speed controls, customizable G-code macros, post-processing scripts, and a command-line interface. Settings address top surfaces, thin walls, holes, overhangs, infill, brims, and seams. Installation covers all three systems, although macOS builds are not Apple-signed.
