Show HN: A complete web build of OrcaSlicer for 3D printing

Category: devtools

Tags: webassembly, 3d-printing, slicer, web-app, nuxt

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 4, Utility: 7)

This project compiles OrcaSlicer and preFlight slicer engines to WebAssembly, enabling full-featured 3D model slicing, painting, assembly, and printing directly in a web browser, including mobile devices. It also offers minimal TinkerCAD-style CSG modeling and direct printing support. The combination of complex desktop-grade slicing in the browser is technically impressive and fills a gap for on-the-go 3D printing workflows.

Target audience: 3D printing enthusiasts, makers, and developers interested in WebAssembly-based CAD tools
