- 1x 3D-printer. If you don’t have a 3d-printer check out this website to see where you can find one close to you.
- 1x computer and slicer software. This is the software that turns the digital 3D-file into code that the 3D-printer understands. At Cosgear we use Prusa Slicer together with our Prusa printer, but there are numerous other options.
- Experience with slicing and 3D-printing STL-files
