Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Kiri:Moto.
UltiMaker Cura
The most widely used free slicer for filament 3D printers, with profiles for hundreds of machines.
UltiMaker Cura is a desktop slicer for Windows, macOS and Linux with profiles for hundreds of printers, but it does not generate CNC toolpaths or run in a browser.
PrusaSlicer
Prusa Research's slicer, based on Slic3r, for both filament and resin printers and no account required.
PrusaSlicer is a desktop application under AGPL-3.0 that slices filament and resin printers, but it does not generate CNC toolpaths.
OrcaSlicer
A slicer built around calibration, with temperature towers and flow tests you run from inside the program.
OrcaSlicer is an installed desktop slicer under AGPL-3.0 with built-in calibration tests and many printer profiles, but it covers 3D printing only, not CNC.
SuperSlicer
A PrusaSlicer fork with extra fine-tuning settings, generated calibration tests and better thin-wall handling.
SuperSlicer is a desktop PrusaSlicer fork under AGPL-3.0 with fine-grained settings and calibration prints, but it needs installing and handles no CNC work.
IceSL
Slicer with built-in modelling that turns STL files into printer-ready G-code.
IceSL is a closed-source desktop slicer with a scriptable modeller for procedural geometry, so you give up Kiri:Moto's MIT license and browser access.
SimplyPrint
A cloud platform for slicing, monitoring, queueing and managing one or many 3D printers.
SimplyPrint also offers a browser slicer, adding monitoring and queueing, but it is a closed-source freemium cloud service with extra fleet features costing more.
MatterControl
Open-source desktop app for designing, slicing and controlling 3D prints on Windows, Mac and Linux.
MatterControl is an open-source desktop app combining design, slicing and printer control on Windows, macOS and Linux, though development is slower than popular slicers.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Kiri:Moto as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Snapmaker Luban
Open-source 3-in-1 slicer and machine control software for Snapmaker 3D printing, laser and CNC machines.
Kiri:Moto is an MIT-licensed browser tool generating both 3D-printing and CNC toolpaths, running on the web rather than as a desktop app with machine control.
