I have some questions about the development roadmap as we advance. Sincerely, is there one? In today's market, with open-source slicers being enhanced and bugs fixed multiple times through a version cycle, Paying for a slicer that, at least at release, does not supersede the competition is a tall order for the customer.
I do give the developer(s) credit, especially early on, for what they accomplished. The interface is logical and contains essential options that do not throw granularity into your face, like setting up SAP. The 3d rendering is quick and precise. The workflow fits perfectly into the production additive practices.
Integration of CAM for subtractive and inclusion of advanced additives like Powder Bed Fusion, SLA, Material Jetting, Liquid Polymerization Deposition, etc. But I digress. These examples could be for an Industrial Version. Maybe S3D can work with UC?
For home users, hobbyists, and small on-demand manufacturers, this brings me back to the first question; what features are on the table to be added, and what is the timeline? At this point in the market, a subscription cost for a slicer would be an investment by the customer that should be able to provide a return.
