Introduction
What is C6
C6 is a complete 3D printing platform from Fabheads. 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?
Fabheads takes proud in the innovative Carbon Fiber 3D printers 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.
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.
Print using dual nozzle setup
Variable infill density, support density etc. Choose bottom and top layer counts, solid layers, slow layers etc.
Printer management, print settings presets
Lot more settings ... details in Print Settings
Along with standard slicer features, there are many features C6 stands out in
C6 supports thermoplastic and Continuous fiber prints slicing
It is the first fully integrated slicing platform in India, and one of its kind globally as well
C6 is not designed as a one-time slicer. It is built to manage 3D printing jobs. You can save your files, GCode for future perusal, or even edit the saved jobs with different settings
The save functionality in C6 enables it to be used as a design iteration platform as well
C6 has in-built user management i.e. you can login in your account from anywhere and access your print jobs. The web-based architecture allows easy access from any modern system without downloading any package
C6 has in-built project management i.e. You can create new projects and new jobs inside them. This helps categorize your 3D print work nicely, without having to save numerous 3D part and GCode files in your system
C6 allows you to perform in-platform quality assurance tasks - Mark non-conformances, add images of quality issues, mark a part approved or failed. These quality assurance steps make sure your printed parts follow your organization's quality protocols.
C6 gives user full freedom to save or avoid saving the files on cloud. Saved files allow user to access the files later in future, and make changes to them
Remote printing using Repetier server and live print monitoring !
C6 file system is encrypted. The files uploaded by user will be stored safely in a cloud storage. The communication between the web-app and server is also encrypted
We appreciate and expect feedback from our users. C6 has a special in-built feedback system which allows users to report bugs, and well as suggest new features and enhancements
C6 auto-updates! Yes, you don't need to downloads regular updates, or risk auto updates of a software which can break your system. With each update, you can be sure that C6 will work the same, and your data remains intact
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.
