3dSynth is a generative G-code engine for 3D printing that lets you create intricate surfaces and textures directly from mathematical rules, bypassing STL files and slicers. This approach unlocks a new realm of sculptural possibilities by turning procedural equations into printer-ready toolpaths, enabling highly customized and organic prints with precision control.
Key features include:
- Generative G-code from math rules: Describe your design using equations and parameters; the engine translates it into optimized, printer-ready G-code, removing the need for traditional STL models or slicers.
- Extensive texture library and patterns: Apply effects such as XY ripple, radial blobs, line effects, twists, bump maps, and more. Combine multiple patterns to craft layered, unique textures on a single print.
- Preview and visualization: Visualize generated toolpaths and predicted surface textures before printing, enabling quick iteration and reducing wasted material.
- Layered effects and fine-tuning: Stack multiple patterns with adjustable weights and parameters to create complex composites and evolving surfaces.
- Cross-platform access with an intuitive UI: Web and desktop interfaces provide a streamlined workflow for designers and hobbyists to experiment and iterate without heavy setup.
3dSynth empowers creators to push the boundaries of 3D printing by turning mathematical rules into tangible, visually striking objects quickly and with measurable control.
