Automatic strength based optimization for 3D printed parts

Use finite element analysis without the complexity of traditional FEA tools. Just define forces and fixed points.

Engineering grade software for print operators

Slicedog® is engineering-grade automatic finite element strength optimization software. It enables you to optimize using the results of strength analysis, compatible with your current 3D printing workflow.

Works with Slicer

Slicedog® automatically leverages standard slicer features to achieve optimized results. It just uses them in a smarter way. Your 3D prints remain fully under your control, everything stays compatible with your setup, and you simply save much more material.

Intelligent Infill

Infill is generated organically, with weak areas reinforced by dense infill. Slicedog® uses advanced automatic mechanical analysis to save 3D printing material, validated by real-world mechanical tests. This way you save 50% of material.

Know Part Strength

Prophets are not the only ones who can predict the future in 3D printing. Slicedog® analyzes the part’s viability before printing begins. If the part is not strong enough, it is automatically reinforced.

Locally reinforced 3D print

50% less printing time

By saving 50% of print material without reducing the strength of the part. Automatic mechanical analysis ensures the part remains strong while using the minimum amount of material.

  • Easy to set up
  • 50% material back
  • Using standard Cura Features
Tools for Proffesionals

Fully validated mechanical strength model

Slicedog® automatically divides the model into top/bottom sections, perimeter sections, and infill sections as part of an automated background optimization process. All these segments of real 3D-printed parts have their own mechanically validated anisotropic strength properties, enabling precise and reliable optimization.

  • Fully automatic strength analysis
  • Real strength properties of 3D printed parts
  • Different strength in X/Y/Z based on type of segment

Secure By Design

Slicedog® was developed with IP protection as an integral part of its design, offering a full on-premise offline version running entirely on your hardware.
The standard cloud version sends the STL model only once to run the optimization; afterward, it works solely with the current optimization progress, and once the optimization is completed, the file is automatically deleted from the cloud. Even we, as developers, are unable to see what our customers optimize.

  • Fully offline version available
  • Cloud version uses models just when optimization is running
  • Complete IP protection
