Introduction

What is C6

NextC6 Unique Features

Last updated 2 years ago

C6 is a complete 3D printing platform from . It is an innovative platform with

  • Browser based user interface for 3D prints' slicing operation and project management

  • Cloud based server and

  • Cloud based C6 slicing engine.

Why the name C6?

C6 has all the basic slicing features like

  • Various infills - Honeycomb, rectilinear, grid, Aligned Rectilinear and concentric

  • Control on print parameters like layer height, extrusion width, print speed and a lot more

  • Print supports and helper features like brim, skirt etc.

  • Variable infill density, support density etc. Choose bottom and top layer counts, solid layers, slow layers etc.

  • Printer management, print settings presets

Along with standard slicer features, there are many features C6 stands out in

  • It is the first fully integrated slicing platform in India, and one of its kind globally as well

C6 is already feature heavy compared to other slicers, but we aim to include a lot more user friendly features like

  • Custom fiber placement capability

  • In-line GCode editor

  • Mobile-based slicing and printer operations

... and much more.

Fabheads takes proud in the innovative we have designed and developed in-house. C6 started as a co-product of these Carbon fiber 3D printers, and hence named C6 after the element symbol and atomic no. of Carbon.
