OrcaSlicer is an open-source slicer for FDM 3D printers, forked from Bambu Studio, that turns a model into machine G-code across multi-plate projects. Almost all of its day-to-day work happens on the 3D viewport rather than in menus, so the single-letter gizmo keys and the plate/preview navigation below are what actually make it fast.
