FABFabbers: Open-Source Additive Manufacturing Software

FABFabbers is an open-source 3D printing software focused on additive manufacturing. It allows users to design, slice, and print 3D models. The software has features for modeling, supports various printers and materials, and enables remote monitoring.

What is FABFabbers?

FABFabbers is an open-source, cross-platform software designed specifically for additive manufacturing and 3D printing. It provides a complete set of tools to design, slice, organize and monitor prints from any device.

The intuitive CAD modeling tools in FABFabbers allow users to create 3D designs from scratch or edit existing STL files. It supports common 3D modeling features like extrude, cut, and fill. Users can also import SVG, DXF or DWG files to convert to printable 3D models.

Once the model is ready, the slicing engine analyzes it and generates optimized gcode to drive the printer. It provides fine control over parameters like layer height, infill, supports, speed and temperature for superior prints. FABFabbers already has predefined profiles for hundreds of common printers and materials.

FABFabbers has remote monitoring capabilities for checking on ongoing prints. Users can view live camera feed from networked printers to check a print's status from anywhere. The software also calculates real-time estimates for completion.

As an open-source solution, FABFabbers enjoys constant updates from a vibrant community of developers and makers. Users can easily customize and extend the software to suit their workflow. The project is available under the GNU GPL license.
