We have lofty goals to keep Helio accessible as a practical simulation tool for everyday 3D printing. We’re not attempting to be Ansys or another heavy FEA service — Helio is built to be lightweight, fast, and user-friendly.
⚠️ Compatibility Notice
This Helio-maintained fork of OrcaSlicer supports Bambu Lab printers (H2D, X1C, and X1E) and a wide range of Bambu and Polymaker filaments.
It is a Helio Additive fork of OrcaSlicer, maintained and updated by our team.
OrcaSlicer with Helio inside brings intelligent thermal simulation and layer optimization directly into your slicing workflow. Use it to improve print quality, reduce failures, and unlock fully autonomous FDM printing.
