Blocks for slicing 3D models and getting pricing information from Slant3D.
Slant3D Slicer
What it is
Slice a 3D model file and get pricing information
How it works
This block sends an STL file to Slant3D's slicing service to analyze the 3D model. The slicer calculates print parameters and returns pricing information based on the model's complexity, size, and material requirements.
Provide the URL to your STL file, and the block returns the calculated price for printing the model.
