The original

Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as mslicer.

  • ChiTuBox Basic

    Resin 3D printing slicer that prepares models for SLA, DLP and LCD machines.

    ChiTuBox Basic adds hollowing, drain holes and automatic supports, but it is closed-source freemium software for Windows and macOS only, with faster slicing reserved for Pro.

  • Lychee Slicer

    A resin-focused slicer with a free tier, strong automatic supports and a large printer profile library.

    Lychee Slicer adds strong automatic supports, hollowing and a large profile library, but it is closed source, shows ads on the free tier and expects an account.

  • PrusaSlicer

    Prusa Research's slicer, based on Slic3r, for both filament and resin printers and no account required.

    PrusaSlicer is also open source, under AGPL-3.0, and slices resin and filament printers in one program, with painted supports and no account needed.

  • SuperSlicer

    A PrusaSlicer fork with extra fine-tuning settings, generated calibration tests and better thin-wall handling.

    SuperSlicer is an AGPL-3.0 PrusaSlicer fork that outputs masked SLA PNG layers alongside FFF G-code, rather than resin formats such as CTB and GOO.

  • PreForm

    Formlabs print preparation software for its SLA resin and SLS powder 3D printers.

    FreeProprietaryWindowsmacOS

    PreForm offers automatic print setup and direct upload, but it is closed source, has no Linux version and only works with Formlabs resin and SLS printers.

Also worth comparing

These listings name mslicer as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

  • Formware 3D

    Print-preparation software for DLP, resin and inkjet 3D printers, including support generation.

    PaidProprietaryWindows

    mslicer is a free GPL-3.0 resin slicer for Windows, macOS and Linux that exports CTB and GOO formats, so check your printer accepts one.
