Key Features
Inherit and Iterate on the Core Capabilities of Orca Slicer
Efficient Multi-color Printing
Snapmaker Orca offers multiple colorizing tools for flexible model color configuration. For multi-color prints, it cools or preheats standby toolheads via path planning, reducing toolhead switching wait times and boosting multi-color printing efficiency significantly.
Multi-material Printing
Snapmaker Orca works with multi-toolhead printers, letting you easily set different materials for different model parts. Its filament beam interlocking ensures stable material connections for better-structured prints. For non-adhesive filaments, supports are easy to remove without damaging prints.
Cutting-edge Slicing Algorithms
Snapmaker Orca adopts complex algorithms to ensure your models are printed with precision and accuracy. These algorithms also excel at handling complex models and optimizing slicing paths, reducing your printing time and saving filaments.
Deeply Integrated for Snapmaker
High-quality Printing
Access a library of built-in, pre-tuned filament profiles for Snapmaker printers. Our engine is so deeply optimized with proprietary algorithms that it ensures exceptional results with every print.
Remote Control of 3D Printers
Snapmaker Orca supports sending print tasks to your printer via WAN/LAN networks and monitoring printing details remotely. Also, you can manage multiple printers easily on the device list, saving you time on back-and-forth adjustments.
3D Printer Monitoring
Snapmaker Orca supports monitoring the printing process and the printing quality of the models, enabling users to clearly grasp the printing progress without going back to the printer.
Free and Open-Source
Commitment to Open-Source Innovation
Snapmaker Orca is built on Orca Slicer, a popular and powerful open-source slicing software in the 3D printing community. As we improve Snapmaker Orca, we actively contribute our improvements back to the mainstream Orca Slicer project and share with key contributors like macdylan.
Why Snapmaker Orca?
While Luban is the go-to for 3-in-1 beginners, Snapmaker Orca Beta caters to users seeking advanced 3D printing capabilities. As an alternative to Luban and Orca Slicer, Snapmaker Orca Beta allows our team greater flexibility for adding features and enhancements specifically tailored for Snapmaker machines. Like the original Orca Slicer, it also supports a wide range of third-party printers, allowing you to manage multiple machines through a single interface.
