Printer host or host software: in 3D printing it refers to a program whose utility is to receive the GCode file from the slicer and deliver the code to the printer itself, usually through a USB port, or by network.Basically a CAM tool that generates all the instructions for the printer to be able to make the model. These files also include additional data such as printing speed, temperature, layer height, if there is multi-extrusion, etc. In this way, it can be understood by the 3D printer, which, as you know, builds it layer by layer, and converts it into G-Code (a predominant language among most 3D printer manufacturers).
Slicers: it is a type of software that takes the file designed by one of the previous programs and slices it, that is, it cuts it into layers.3D modeling software: These can be modeling or CAD tools in which to create the model that you want to print.However, in 3D printers it is a bit more complex, since 3 categories of software are needed To make it work: With conventional printers you have a program, such as a PDF reader, or a text editor, a word processor, etc., in which there is a function for printing that, when pressed, the document will go to the print queue for it to be printed.
