  • It handles the resin-specific work that filament slicers skip, including hollowing, drain holes, automatic supports and per-layer exposure settings for the printer profile you pick.
  • Automatic support generation that resin printers genuinely benefit from
  • Hollowing, drain holes and anti-aliasing built in
  • Large library of printer and resin profiles ready to use
  • Separate FDM edition alongside the resin one
  • The free Basic edition is closed source and holds back the faster slicing engine and several support tools that are only in the paid Pro edition.
  • Closed source, and the free tier shows advertising
  • Batch processing and some automation are behind a subscription
  • An account is expected to use it
  • The vendor's domain moved from mango3d.io to lychee.co, so old links break
