In their own words
QIDI Slicer
QIDI Slicer is free software for preparing 3D models for printing on QIDI printers. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with STL, STEP, 3MF, OBJ, and AMF listed as input formats and G-code and .gcode.3mf as outputs. The slicer can move, scale, rotate, crop, color, repair, combine, and split models, then apply adjustable parameters and calibration functions for different models and print situations. QIDI lists Q1 Pro, X-Max3, X-Plus3, and X-Smart3, plus QIDI high-speed printers using Klipper firmware, as compatible; firmware should be V4.0.0 or newer. Printers can connect by local IP or remotely online. QIDI Link on iOS and Android can scan connections, monitor jobs, adjust settings, and feed or retract material. Version 1.2.5 adds Q2 configuration and .gcode.3mf export and sending. The software is based on PrusaSlicer and licensed under AGPL version 3.
Voxelizer
Voxelizer is Zmorph’s software for preparing jobs for 3D printing, CNC milling, and laser engraving. It turns 3D models into layers, generates G-code, and includes editing tools, 3D filters, support structures, and variable layer height. The Fab version adds CNC workflows with STEP operations, tool changes inside one G-code file, and toolpath visualization. Supported file types listed for Fab include STL, OBJ, STEP, DXF, PNG, and BMP; G-code is the listed output format. Voxelizer can map PNG and BMP images onto 3D objects for multi-material printing. Image mapping and color blending require the DUAL PRO toolhead, with the described blending supporting PLA and up to eight shades. The software supports Zmorph toolheads and workflows optimized for Zmorph printers. It is free, with no paid tiers stated. Windows and macOS are supported; Linux is described as experimental. Minimum requirements include 4 GB RAM, an OpenGL 3.3-compatible GPU, internet access, and 1280 × 720 resolution.
