Since its creation in 2014 in China, Creality has been committed to making 3D printing accessible to everyone. Over the years ...

The slicer doesn’t feed Gcode to a printer directly, although Octoprint integration is forthcoming. Developers say they are focusing on the slicing engine which is totally new.
