Hello, Everyone newcomer to this group. I am very keen to learn about 3D printers. Basically, I am a developer by profession. Basically, I develop the https://www.exactlly.com/blog/index.php … es-follow/ and related things. But now I have a great interest in 3D printing. So is there any particular software or related things used in 3D printing? And also wants to know which is the most powerful 3D printer. Because I am willing to buy a new 3D printer. Is there any simulator also present for 3D printing? If anyone gives me these answers then it will be very helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
So is there any particular software or related things used in 3D printing?
Yes there is cad software CAM AKA slicing software the machine uses firmware to run g code
CAD :Tinkercad fusion 360 and blender are popular choices.
Repitier host running cura, slic3r and prusa slicer. netfab is useful for repairing files Marlin is the most popular firmware it comes built into the printer.
And also wants to know which is the most powerful 3D printer.
this is a very open ended loaded question. A better question is what printer is best for you. and only you can answer that one. there are many printers on the market. A lot of good printers a lot of junk and a bunch in the middle. How much do you have to spend. what are you using it for business/hobby. how big do you need the print envelope. DO you want something pre assembled or are you willing to build a kit. What knowledge skill and abilities do you have?
Is there any simulator also present for 3D printing?
there may be but a waste of time in my opinion. DO your homework take a class at a local makers space and learn about 3d printing before you spend your money. There are lots of good you tube vidios that can teach the basics as well.
Hope this helps

I am new to this community. I am pretty much interested to purchase a 3d printer for my home. Can anyone suggest to me the major features that we could consider before ordering it.
