Best for: Squeezing better surface quality out of an FFF printer through fine-grained settings
Best for: Slicer with built-in modelling that turns STL files into printer-ready G-code

It combines a slicer with a scriptable modeller, so infill patterns and geometry can be generated procedurally rather than imported from a separate CAD program.
