What Creality Print is

Creality Print is Creality’s free, open-source FDM slicing software for preparing prints and working with printers from a computer. It supports remote printer control and monitoring, as well as printing directly from the computer. Listed features include automatic calibration for all printers, Sandwich (inner-outer-inner) mode, polyholes conversion, Klipper support, and granular controls. For command-line use, it can slice jobs with the --slice action and options for output folders, settings, filament presets, and logs. Creality provides versions for Windows, Apple and Intel macOS, and Linux. The project uses the GNU Affero General Public License version 3.
