Slice software is the software that prepares 3D models for printing and turns them into
instructions for the 3D printers. FlashPrint is the slicing software used for the
FlashForge Finder.

files can be transferred to your Finder via USB cable, USB stick or Wi-Fi.

Once the output file has been transferred to your Finder, it will start to turn the 3D
model into a physical object by laying down layers of filament.
