object. 3D scanners work by digitizing a physical object, collecting its
geometric data, and saving it to a file on your PC. There are also apps that

From the Cloud. The most popular way of obtaining a 3D model is to
download it from websites that allow users to upload 3D models that they

2. Slicing and Exporting the 3D Model:

A slicing software is required to process and interpret the 3D model
into the language that 3D printers can understand. The FlashPrint is the
slicing software used for the FlashForge Finder.
FlashPrint will slice the 3D model into numerous layers and output it
as a .g file, which is the format read by the Finder. The file is then
transferred to the Finder by USB cable, USB Flash Disk or Wi-Fi.

3. Making the Print:

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