Slant3D Slicer

What it is

Slice a 3D model file and get pricing information

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: 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.
