Clay Slicer 3.5.0

Built for Clay. Built for You.

Clay Slicer 3 marks a new chapter in ceramic 3D printing. Completely redesigned from the ground up, it combines ease of use with advanced, clay-specific features you won’t find anywhere else.

Most slicers were made for plastic. To use them with clay, you have to “hack” your way around their limitations—and even then, you’re never able to take full advantage of clay’s unique properties. Clay Slicer 3 changes that. Every tool, every algorithm, every workflow was designed for clay from day one.

And while traditional modeling software like Rhino demands a steep learning curve, Clay Slicer 3 introduces a simple vase modeling tool so anyone can start shaping with ease. Push, pull, add, or refine points right in the app. No CAD experience required—just creativity.

What’s New in Clay Slicer 3.5.0

10× Faster, 10× Smarter

We rebuilt the entire slicing engine from the ground up. Instead of just “working faster,” Clay Slicer now analyzes your model in a much more intelligent way — understanding curves, thickness changes, and clay behavior before generating any paths. The result: models load quicker, slicing takes seconds, and the print paths are cleaner, smoother, and more accurate than ever.

Intuitive Vase Modeling

You don’t need CAD experience anymore. Our built-in vase modeler lets you drag points, adjust curves, and instantly see the results as you shape your vase. It’s hands-on and visual — like sculpting digitally, without needing to learn Blender or Fusion. Great for beginners, and surprisingly powerful for experts.

Advanced Clay-Specific Controls

Clay behaves differently from plastic, and Clay Slicer now embraces that fully. You get tools designed only for clay: volumetric slicing (perfect for thick-to-thin transitions), non-planar paths that move smoothly over slopes, and seam-free vase mode for perfectly continuous spirals. These are features that regular, plastic-focused slicers simply can’t do.

New: Real-Time Texture Engine

Add real, physical texture to your pieces — not just a visual preview. Clay Slicer 3 can take a 2D image and turn it into a 3D displacement directly on your vase. You can emboss, carve, repeat patterns and fade them in and out. Everything updates instantly as you tweak settings, so you see exactly what you’ll print. It’s the easiest (and most fun) way to create complex surfaces without needing any modeling software.
