Free and open source under the AGPL. Some cloud features expect a Bambu Lab account, but local printing does not.

• Handles both filament and resin printers in one program
• Per-layer setting changes and painted supports and seams
• Profiles for printers well beyond Prusa's own range
• No account needed, and the project says so plainly

• Multi-material painting with transition filament flushed into infill rather than a purge tower
• Remote control and monitoring of a networked printer from the slicer
• Reads STEP files and emits arc moves (G2/G3), plus assembly and explosion views
• Multiple build plate management, auto-arrange and auto-orient

• Linux builds come only through Flathub
• Tuned first for Prusa hardware; other machines need profile work
• The interface exposes fewer calibration tools than OrcaSlicer

• Built around Bambu Lab hardware; other printers need profiles set up by hand
• Cloud features push you towards a Bambu account
• Linux support is AppImages for Ubuntu and Fedora plus a Flatpak, not native packages
• Heavier and busier than PrusaSlicer, which it forked from

• prusa3d.com/prusaslicer
• github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer

• github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio
