SlicerMobile – In-browser slicing workflow for phones

A lightweight web tool for slicing, assembling, and directly printing 3D models from a phone

Problem

3D printing enthusiasts sometimes need to quickly slice and print models without a computer, but mainstream slicers are desktop-only with poor or missing mobile experiences. Existing web slicers often require large file uploads, depend on CORS proxies, and lack TinkerCAD-style simple modeling and direct printing, resulting in a fragmented workflow.

Solution

Runs a slicing engine in the browser via WebAssembly, letting users open models on their phone, do simple CSG modeling, slice, assemble, and send to supported network printers. An built-in proxy solves cross-origin issues while retaining full desktop-class features, enabling an end-to-end modeling-to-printing flow without installing software.

Users

3D printing enthusiasts, makers, and designers who need to quickly print models on the go

MVP

Slicing engine running in-browser (WebAssembly); import and render common 3D formats; simple CSG modeling (union, cut); slicing parameter configuration; send to common printers over network with built-in CORS proxy

Revenue

Free basic slicing; premium features (batch slicing, cloud storage, more printer presets) via monthly subscription or one-time purchase

Why now

WebAssembly makes it possible to run professional-grade slicers in the browser, and mobile computing power is sufficient; the 3D printing user base keeps growing, yet mobile slicing remains a gap
