The Helio Additive API is a GraphQL-based developer interface that allows you to integrate Helio’s simulation and optimization engine into custom slicers, production pipelines, or automation tools.
Unlike REST APIs, GraphQL allows you to:
- Query only the data you need
- Combine related operations in a single request
- Interact via a strongly-typed schema

Includes:
- 🔐 Authentication and personal access tokens (PAT)
- 📤 Submitting simulation and optimization jobs
- 📥 Polling job results
- 📊 Checking token quota
- 🧪 Example GraphQL queries and mutations
Use a personal access token (PAT) issued by the Helio Dashboard.
- Integrate simulation directly into slicers (e.g. OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio)
- Batch-optimize print jobs via CI/CD or farm control systems
- Drive custom dashboards to visualize thermal performance
- Automate simulation validation during design
