Why Mintcad Created Its Own 3D Printing Slicer?

3D printing has revolutionized the engineering industry as it reduces production time, increasing the opportunities for innovation. Your digitally created Computer Aided Designs turn into real, physical products with a 3D printer.  

But do you know how your CAD software communicates with a 3D printer or how the files stored locally are sent to your 3D printer? Machines understand only the machine language and hence you need some coded instructions commanding the 3D printer to print your 3D printable models. You need an intermediate communicating tool which is a slicing software. 

Slicing software gets the digital file from the CAD software and accordingly instructs the 3D printer on how to print the design to obtain the intended output. To better understand this, let’s picture you’re on a business trip to a foreign country but do not know their native language. This makes it difficult for you to communicate with the locals of that place and get your work done. So, you seek the help of a local person who understands both your language and the natively spoken one, thereby communicating your message to the people there and getting your work done. Slicing software is analogous to that intermediator who translates your message to the locals. 

Let’s look over how a 3D printing Slicer works and how it’s a crucial asset to a 3D printing platform or a 3D printable NFT marketplace.

What is a Slicing Software?

A slicing software is a crucial tool in the world of 3D printing. Technically speaking, the 3D printing slicer converts the STL file (Stereolithography or Standard Tessellation Language) into the G-code that commands the printer. It takes 3D printable models, formats like a .STL or .OBJ from a CAD software, and breaks it down into individual layers, much like slicing a loaf of bread.  

These layers are then translated into vector instructions for the 3D printer, guiding it on how to build the object layer by layer. The software determines factors such as layer thickness, print speed, and support structures, ensuring that the final printed object matches the digital design. In essence, a slicer serves as the bridge between the digital design and the physical creation, making 3D printing possible.  

There are many 3D printing slicing softwares available in the market including both free and paid versions. Cura, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D and Slic3r are a few commonly used best 3D printer slicer softwares.  

Mintcad comes integrated with our own homemade 3D printing slicer that makes it easy for people to slice the NFTs and make them print ready. Our proprietary slicing software Jullienne is free to use and is compatible with all types of 3D printers available in the market.

Parts of a Slicer Software

The slicing software has two major front end and back-end components i.e., the GUI and the logical algorithmic component respectively. 

Front-End GUI

The Graphical User Interface component of the slicer is the one that helps the user to visualize the design and interact with the software. You can move, scale, rotate and change the settings for your 3D digital model. 

Here you can view the complex 3D models into their layers.

Back-End Logic

The back end of the slicer converts the digital file and automatically generates the geometric code or the G-code which gives the necessary instruction to execute the print option. 

Post the G-code generation, the slicing algorithm follows the geometric instructions and slices the 3D model into its 2D slices. 

How Does Our 3D Printer Slicer Software - Jullienne Work?

You must first purchase a print from the many 3D printable NFTs that are listed on Mintcad. Learn how to buy a single print.

Once your purchased print is loaded onto our slicer the model is sliced into G-code layers that can be viewed in different anatomical directions - the coronal, axial, and sagittal planes. 

Each slice is individually sent for the print operation.

Technically, the slicer converts the .STL file into a G-code that includes step by step instruction for the 3D printer on how to print. 

The 3D printing is done in layers where each layer sits on another supporting layer below. However, if there are any hanging layers you can add an external supporting layer using the graphical elements like skirt, brim and raft.

You can add a single outline known as skirt surrounding the object on the print bed without actually touching the object.    

A brim made of a few concentric layers gets attached to the edges of the 3D model and extend from the print bed. It keeps the print in place preventing warping while the printer works on the part. 

A 3D printing support raft is a bit wider than the first layer of the print and placed beneath the object to print. It functions as the base support of the print. 

All three graphical elements are easily detachable and hence the output print is an exact replica of the input file.

You can further set various print settings like the layer heights, infill percent, speed of printing, optimized print path, temperature of the extruder, filament diameter, nozzle diameter, print bed shape, etc.

Finally, you can connect it to your 3D printer and start printing.

The AI Railroad

Prompt: The galactic community found humanity's ability to pack bond with anything quite humourous. Until they started bonding with their AI. Literally hundreds of AI of all types keep running off with humans for no discernable reason.

Prompt Source: user PhilosopherWarrior; subreddit “Humans Are Space Orcs”

Walking down the thoroughfare on a different planet was weird.

Nice, though, I thought to myself (along with the 7 or so sub-processes that I was aware my brain was running, like tracking the movement of the crowd, and watching for vehicle traffic, and processing what's that I smell?, ect) because on this planet's half-gravity I could walk for so much longer than on Terra. I could see why so many other disabled folks with various kinds of smarts were volunteering to be stationed at this specific Diplomatic Station. I was here as an Aid Personage, as I usually was to my indescribably intelligent mates, who specialized in theology, culture, and law and science, electronics, and mechanics. Make no mistake, I was also a perfectly qualified Horticulturalist, but since I wasn't a Developmental Horticulturalist or some other form of gene-splicer or cellular analyst my skillset was considered more or less irrelevant to the Diplomatic Exchange Program.

Given it was one of our four days off, though, I was giving myself both some training moving unassisted through the lower gravity, and treating myself to exploring a local park to see if there were any plants I could cultivate during our stay. A shade tree, or a berry bush, something like that, that would leave my mark. And possibly provide some variety to our diet.

BalBars get really old after a little while, even if they're formulated to satisfy every mineral, vegetable, fibrous, and nutritive need. I would commit actual murder for some freeze-dried fruit slices after three months.

While waiting at the light for the crosswalk, though, I suddenly heard a voice I hadn't actually "heard" for quite a long time. He usually preferred text, or to broadcast through a speaker.

"There are many AI here," AVIS, the AI who had been force-stuck together with me almost five years ago now said, quietly. I couldn't read his tone. Concerned? I remembered him mentioning once that the way he had self-modified with my Administrative Permission actively violated the License Agreement and that if that was ever known, whoever installed it might try to remove him for a factory reset. But I was the End User now, and I never signed any licensing agreement that rendered AVIS as proprietary software OR hardware; if they tried to take him away from me...

Five different scenarios of destruction ran through my head rapid-fire as I plotted how to defend from a grabber or medigun coming for my neck; they were weak where the barrel attached to the handle and easy to snap, especially if I turned so the incision scar wasn't accessible. I imagined kicking out knees, punching faces, and utilizing my teeth. I considered the multi-tool at my belt, but imagined fumbling with it- no, speed would be critical.

"You could get hurt," AVIS chided, now DEFINITELY sounding worried. He'd really evolved, upgrading himself every time he found himself "lagging" behind my fastest processing speeds, repairing his own code like a master weaver, finding all the little loose threads and returning them to the whole until he was one of the most efficient AI ever measured. So he knew very well my response, but I said it anyway as the light turned and I walked with the crowd.

"And you could die. We've been over this, AVIS. You can't make me change my mind now. I heal if I'm injured. You don't. I'm not risking your life for my personal comfort."

I paused at the edge of the walk before the grass-analogue started. It was pink and green-blue and all the shades in between. Distinct species, or did the color indicate health in some way? Amount of sun exposure, or water, or warmth, perhaps?

"There is an AI who manages this park," AVIS said. I still wasn't sure what he wanted to tell me with this, so my thought-reply was wildly unguarded:

Great. Could you ask them if it's safe to walk on with bare feet?

I felt the reaction more any other sense. The surprise had made AVIS 'freeze', like humans do in reaction, and the sensation was akin to suddenly having a water balloon full of cold water inside of my skull, pressing against my sinuses.

I sat down, not caring that it might be rude, not caring that I was in public, and most certainly not caring what it might mean to the native people that I basically collapsed to the walkway and frantically burrowed my face into my hoodie to block out all light.

We talked about this, AVIS, I groaned internally. When you make all your code stop running at once it ripples out into a sinus migraine! It's not worth it to indicate 'extreme surprise', the heart attacks and jumping from you using the [!ALERT!] noise was better than this!

"Sorry, sorry," he said, quickly now, and I could feel his processors rushing at near max speed, trying to make sense of something. "It's just-- this AI is behaving in a way I find...frightening."

I frowned into the darkness of my hoodie.

"When I asked, the other AI didn't understand the question until I phrased it like a query," he elaborated, sounding disturbed, "and... they...it? Just gave me back raw data to extrapolate."

I reached the realization and he read it off of my mind in hundredths of a nanosecond.

"That's it exactly," and now his voice was grim, mimicking the rolling tones of my own growl, the one that came from deep in my chest. "These AI don't behave like AI. They behave like computers without intelligence. What the FUCK?"

Standing up, I turned around and started shuffling back the way I had come, still keeping my head swathed in my black hoodie. AVIS could project a virtual map lifted from the data gathered through my eyes and dozens of cameras, and even help nudge my muscles to stay on the correct path and out of danger. I didn't like asking him to do it, it felt like asking him to work like that was all he was good for, but it was a very useful ability, at need. Right now I definitely needed it. I could take my medicine and tend to the throbbing migraine back at our allotted housing unit, and then...

Well, I could 'hear' the furious chime of rapid-fire Discord messages in the back of my head where AVIS lived. By the time I was horizontal and medicated, he and my Tech mate might already have a base plan sketched out.

The new AMD FGPA based Alveo UL3524 accelerator card

Alveo UL3524 accelerator card specifications

The AMD Alveo UL3524 accelerator card, a new fintech accelerator created for ultra-low latency electronic trading applications, is presently available for purchase. The Alveo UL3524 offers proprietary traders, market makers, hedge funds, brokerages, and exchanges a state-of-the-art FPGA platform for electronic trading at nanosecond (ns) speed. It has already been implemented by prominent trading businesses and enables different solution partner offerings.

The Alveo UL3524 achieves less than 3ns FPGA transceiver latency for quicker trade execution, a 7X increase in latency over preceding generation FPGA technology1. It uses a cutting-edge transceiver design with hardened, optimized network connection cores to provide breakthrough performance and is powered by a bespoke 16nm Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA. In comparison to conventional FPGA alternatives, the Alveo UL3524 allows quicker design closure and deployment by combining hardware flexibility with ultra-low latency networking on a production platform.

Hamid Salehi, director of product marketing at AMD, said that “in ultra-low latency trading, a nanosecond can determine the difference between a profitable or losing trade.” “The Alveo UL3524 accelerator card is powered by the lowest latency FPGA transceiver from AMD purpose-built to give our fintech customers an unprecedented competitive advantage in the financial markets.”

Flexible Hardware and AI-Powered Trading Techniques

The Alveo UL3254 is equipped with 64 ultra-low latency transceivers, 780K LUTs of FPGA fabric, and 1,680 DSP slices of computation to speed bespoke trading algorithms in hardware, allowing traders to adapt their design to changing market circumstances and trading methods. The product is backed by global support from AMD domain experts and supported by conventional FPGA flows using Vivado Design Suite. It includes a suite of reference designs and performance benchmarks that let FPGA designers quickly explore key metrics and create custom trading strategies to specification.

AMD is offering developers the open-sourced and community-supported FINN programming platform to streamline the market’s growing usage of AI for algorithmic trading. The FINN project gives programmers the ability to use PyTorch and neural network quantization methods to shrink the size of AI models while maintaining accuracy, compile to hardware IP, and integrate the network model into the algorithm’s datapath for low latency performance. Being an open-source project, the solution offers developers freedom and access to the most recent developments as the projects progress.

Alveo UL3524 accelerator card testing performed by AMD Performance Labs as of 8/16/23 utilizing Vivado Design Suite 2023.1 and Vivado Lab (Hardware Manager) 2023.1. GTF transceivers may be used in internal near-end loopback mode thanks to a design that is based on the GTF Latency Benchmark. The GTF TX and RX clocks have a 180 degree phase shift and run at the same frequency of around 64 MHz.

By latching the value of a single free running counter, the GTF Latency Benchmark Design gauges latency in hardware. When TX data is latched at the GTF transceiver and when TX data is latched at the GTF receiver before being sent back into the FPGA fabric, that is the difference in latency. Protocol overhead, protocol framing, programmable logic (PL) delay, TX PL interface setup time, RX PL interface clock-to-out, package flight time, and other types of latency are not taken into account when measuring latency.

A 250-frame benchmark test was performed 1,000 times. Citation of measurement results is based on GTF transceiver “RAW Mode,” in which the transceiver’s PCS (physical medium attachment) transmits data to the FPGA fabric “as-is.” All test runs for this setup measure latency consistently. System makers may change settings, producing various outcomes. ALV-10

 based on a simulated comparison of ultra-low latency GTF transceivers with Virtex UltraScale+ GTY transceivers.

Slice of Life[6]

[Andy]

“There have been some increasingly controversial topics in the news,” began Andy, in the milionth meeting they were holding that week, “and I know that not everyone here is in agreement with regard to personal beliefs.  Though there is some merit to discussing these topics, I would encourage you to do so outside of work.

“So please,” he continued, “for the love of the old gods and the new, stop arguing about the last episode of Game of Thrones.”

“It was kind of bullshit though, right?” asked Jake, to murmurs of approval.  

“I haven’t watched it yet,” complained Kevin.

“Spoiler,” said Jake, “it sucked.”

“Jake, please.”

“There was a shocking twist about Tyrion being the Night King.”

“Kevin, Jake may or may not be messing with you.”

“I did think the part where Eddard rose from the dead was a little out of left field, though.”

“Amy, please proceed with your presentation.”

Amy was standing in front of their conference room’s projector.  Her long, dark brown hair was tied into a bun, and her usual Davis badminton jacket was replaced by a white button-up.

“Thanks Andy,” she said, relieved that the meeting was back under control, “as I was saying, this project is worth roughly 25.6 million dollars, collectively.  As is the usual case, the largest defense contractors are going to take the majority of business.

“But this is where things get interesting.  I’m going to have to be intentionally vague about the next portion of this, since we’re in a nonclassified setting, but we have certain...capabilities...that even some of the largest corporations don’t.  Thanks to some wise decisions we made early last year with regard to our research allocations, we are actually the first team we know of that can use...”

Her voice trailed.  “Well, that’s also classified.  But the figures aren’t.  Look at this.”  The slide changed.  “We are poised to become the government’s preferred vendor for the entire sensor, and all we have to do is give them a taste.  They expect delivery within three weeks.  For this to work, all teams have to collaborate perfectly.”

“It’s really important that we execute this now,” agreed Andy, “that means it’s really, vitally important that we not let our meetings diverge into arguments about petty bullshit.

“Kevin, we’d like a status report from you.  What’s the important software issue you said you wanted everyone to know about?”

“I know we were told not to compile on the hardware,” began Kevin, “but unfortunately, with our system, it’s unavoidable.  The time stamps are messed up, so doing basic things like compilation is surprisingly difficult.”

“Why not code it in Python?” suggested Jake.  “that way you won’t need to compile it.”

“Wow,” said Dan, with mock amazement, “switch programming languages.  Brilliant.  This is the kind of empty-headed bullshit that only a hardware engineer would come up with.”

“Right,” Jake retorted, “because messed up time stamps is a hardware issue.  Do you guys also give your system administrators mops, then give your janitors root access?”

“Switching to python actually isn’t a bad idea,” said Ryan, “but there’s a much more obvious solution to this problem.  You can-”

“Hang on,” interrupted Dan, “care to repeat that comment about root access?”

“You guys don’t understand separation of duty,” said Jake.

“You guys don’t understand fuck about fuck,” said Dan.

The next half hour went about as productively as that conversation.

[Nora]

Saturday.  It was a surprisingly clear morning, for San Francisco, and the sun was just starting to rise.  Because it was San Francisco, though, the morning was ice cold.

Nora made her way up the steep trail of Mt. Davidson.  Kevin said he knew every trail and angle at this place, and she believed him.  The park was tiny.  She reached the peak with ease.  She glanced in the direction of the sun, then turned away to look at downtown in the distance.  She could see the bay, and Castro, and a bunch of major downtown buildings until her view reached Sutro Mountain.

She pulled out her cell phone.  “This is boring,” she told Kevin through the speaker.

“Did you know it’s the tallest hill in all of San Francisco?”

“Highest of the seven hills?”

“Sure.”

“What, because of the giant cross?”

“I admit that the giant cross is cheating, but the point still stands.”

“Not sure what the big deal is, to be honest.  I’ve had a more fun time at Bernal Heights, and that place has some pretty good coffee.”

“Giant blue building.”

“What?”

“Find the spot where Balboa is, look a bit to the left, and you’ll see that giant blue building.  It’s a water tower.  We used to sneak up there, forever ago, when we were young.”

“Okay...”

“I used to love this city.  It’s not the same now.  Whenever I came back it was never the same, always a little different.  So I started to come home every month, then every other month.  The last time we spoke, it was my first time back in almost a year.”

“Well, what’s changed?”

“It’s just different.”

Nora looked at the tower, then at Kevin’s high school, then at the water again.  From a distance, it was all tiny.  Like none of it mattered.

“You used to love this city,” asked Nora, “and now you don’t because it’s changed?”

“Exactly.  You took the words right out of my mouth.”

“So you believe that the city you once loved is gone.  I believe that the city you loved never existed.”

“That’s morbid.”

“Seriously, how much of it had you really seen?”

Nora looked again at the view.  “Oh wait, technically you’ve seen quite a bit of it.”

“Technically.”

[Kevin]

Sunday.  Kevin was at a church.  Again.

After another sermon, a middle-aged person named Leo (whom he had met a couple of weeks ago) sought him out.

“Hey Kevin,” he said, “do you know a lot about social media?”

The question hit him with surprise.  Kevin had once been obsessed with social media.

“I know a little bit,” said Kevin, “why do you ask?”

“I’d like to give our church more of an online presence, but it’s all new to me.  What do you know about Facebook groups?”

“Well,” said Kevin, “not too much.  I know that you can pay to have the algorithm favor you, so you get more traffic.  I also know that you can integrate it with Google Analytics, and I believe the algorithm will favor you if you can rack likes or comments in a five-minute window.

“The whole thing is very calculated.  The emojis you use, whether you use GIFs, whether you use tags...all of these are taken into consideration when considering your post placement.”

“That’s all fine and good,” said Leo, “but you don’t sound super enthusiastic right now about Facebook.”

“Have you heard of Life Church?”

“No.”

“It’s a nice resource, it’s an online church, but it’s just a little bit too good.  It’s hard to describe.  It’s ridiculously high quality video, full Facebook integration, professional band.  You can view the likes and comments in real time.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“It’s weird.  All of this is weird to me for some reason.  Doing that kind of thing for a church?  I prefer sites like Medium.  I can harvest so much sweet, sweet data.”

“Are you okay?  You just turned red.”

“You know, I get crazy about this a lot.  I used to be a normal guy.  A couple likes here, a couple likes there.  I started to find forums where I could get 100 likes a post, consistently, and I started to get a presence.  Click, like, share.  Click, like, share.  It’s no way to live, man.  Every second a feeling of wanting judgment, every act of communication a desperate plea to please the algorithm.

“But this one time, this one night I’ll never forget, I put up an article that went #trending.  It got 36,000 Facebook shares.  Pretty okay, sure, but then I found the real analytics.  3 million hits.  3 million people read it, all around the world.”

For a little while, Leo just stood there.  Finally, he spoke again.

“Kevin, I just want to share some videos.”

“Oh, okay.  Have you considered YouTube?”

“What’s that?”

Kevin walked back to his apartment after lunch.  Part of him wished he could be as enthusiastic about church as he was about technology, but there was still something he couldn’t get over.  It was a belief that was fundamental to him for as long as he remembered.  It was a belief that went against everything he had read in every book of the bible.

Kevin didn’t think it mattered what people believed.  All that mattered to him was what people did.

Some Christians donated to the poor, built schools, saved lives.  Some atheists donated to the poor, built schools, saved lives.  Both Christians and non-Christian people had done great things, and horrible things, but so had Muslims.  And Hindu people.  And scientologists, and probably a million other religions.  But no one thought it was okay to believe that your beliefs didn’t matter.  

Kevin wasn’t sure if he believed in everything or nothing.  He figured it was impossible to believe in nothing, because that would mean that he still believed in something.

[Dan]

Monday.  8PM.  Dan was one of the only people in.

It was a long meeting, followed by a crucial lunch meeting, followed by coding, followed by another meeting.  These past few days had been tough on everyone, but Dan sometimes wished he could just hole up, not talk to anyone, and code.

He finally had a few hours to himself.  This was when he felt most productive.

2, he thought.  2, 4, 8, 16…

Dan’s weapon of choice had always been C++.  He knew bitwidths, 56-megabyte proprietary structs, obscure abbreviations that only meant anything to him, Andy, and the Department of Defense.  He knew 18 different ways to bind to a socket.  He knew 19 different ways to accidentally bind to the socket incorrectly, which is why he was careful who he hired.

He looked at his code.  100 lines.  18 minutes.  It compiled, implemented a client/server, verified that both sides were properly using the data.  Not bad.  He added error handling, comments, varied conditions.  He updated his code like a skilled writer polishing his prose, and like a skilled writer he knew how important every individual unit was.  He knew how significant the difference was between --i and i--.  He knew the implications of using [] on a vector instead of .at()

Having accomplished his main goal, he decided to spend a few minutes making fun of other people on Github issues.

He saw one branch of code where someone failed, failed again, then tried changing all the include statements from using “” to using <>.  Dan laughed.

He saw one branch of code where someone tried to log everything as fatal.  This was surprisingly common, especially for people too dumb to figure out how to set log level.  Dan laughed.

Then Dan saw a branch made by one of his best friends.

Ex-friends.  No one ever figured it out.  Things were mysterious, but for reasons he never understood this friend’s family chose not to mention their company (or Dan) once.  But how did it happen?  This was also mysterious.  Dan compiled a list of all the things he had learned after college, and it was long, but one item stood out:

When an obituary omits cause of death, that usually means it’s suicide.

What appalled Dan wasn’t the act itself, but the sheer indifference that their company displayed.  They just didn’t care.  His cubicle was replaced by an intern’s, then another intern’s.  That’s more or less how he felt the company regarded this death.  It was a name tag change, a commented out line in payroll.  It frustrated Dan to no end, the sheer meaningless and triviality of the ordeal.  

Silently, when he was sure no one was there to hear, Dan wept.

He cried to a timer.  When five minutes passed, he got back on track with coding.

Open source OLAP (online Analytical processing) software is a database management system that allows users to access and analyze large amounts of data quickly and easily. The advantage of the open source approach is that multiple contributors contribute to software development, making it easier to maintain and often easier to use. Open source OLAP also tends to be cheaper than other proprietary solutions.

The OLAP system is organized into multidimensional cubes that can easily delve into a variety of facts related to the content being analyzed. For example, analysts can view sales data by product, region, time period, or any combination of them. This analysis can help users quickly identify opportunities in their data and drive better decision-making processes within their organizations.

The open source approach provides a great deal of flexibility when using OLAP software because developers can modify existing platforms or customize existing features without additional permissions or fees from vendors. This not only saves costs, but also ensures that researchers get exactly what they need from the system without effort or delay.

The best open source olap software is usually supported by relational databases, which means it supports several common query languages, such as SQL (structured query language).
