The slicer plays a key role in the 3D printing process, and many companies have developed their own software solutions to support this essential step. One of them is Elegoo, a company founded in 2015 that continues to grow in the global additive manufacturing market. At Formnext 2024, Elegoo unveiled its first free slicer designed for LCD printers, called Elegoo SatelLite.
Created with beginners in mind, this software aims to simplify complex steps while improving efficiency. Chris Hong, CEO of Elegoo, explains: “Elegoo SatelLite is the ideal entry point for newcomers to resin printing, especially FDM users who are ready to explore.” Released at the end of 2024 for Windows, a Mac version is expected in the first quarter of 2025. But what does the SatelLite slicer actually offer in terms of features? Let’s take a closer look in this guide.
SatelLite Features
Elegoo SatelLite is a complete 3D slicer that allows users to edit models, slice them, and manage devices. Although it is primarily designed for Elegoo printers, it remains compatible with models from other brands, offering users plenty of flexibility. It stands out for its clean and simple interface, along with a customizable toolbar and step by step guides that make the user experience intuitive. Beginners can get comfortable quickly, while experienced users will enjoy a smooth workflow for more advanced projects.
One of the key features of this software is its EVO support system, designed to optimize every print. Inspired by the word “evolution”, EVO represents a constantly improving technology. The system automatically analyzes 3D models and generates tailored support structures that help ensure successful prints. With multiple adjustment options, it is well suited to both beginners and experts seeking precise control. Whether you want speed or fine detail, EVO delivers results that meet professional expectations.
Elegoo SatelLite also uses advanced algorithms that automatically detect and fix issues in 3D models. This leads to more reliable prints and reduces the need for manual corrections, allowing users to focus on their designs. Finally, the slicer includes a complete material library that simplifies resin selection and parameter management. Users can quickly configure their printers for optimal performance. The clear interface makes material selection easy, and cloud features like ratings and favorites help streamline workflows. To download the software for free, click HERE.
