Our verdict on NanoDLP
NanoDLP combines resin slicing with browser-based printer control for people working with SLA, LCD, or DLP machines. It is aimed at solo users and small operations that want to upload files, prepare plates, start or stop prints, and monitor jobs without relying solely on a desktop slicer. The web interface runs with supported hardware such as Raspberry Pi, while NanoDLP itself is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux as well as browser use. Its focus is practical control of resin print preparation and jobs rather than a broad modeling workflow.
Slicing features include anti-aliasing, pixel dimming, hollowing, infill, and adaptive layer thickness with manually defined thickness zones. Users can preview layers and export plates, and remote slicing is available through a paired NanoDLP computer. Supported input formats include STL, SLC, SVG, OBJ, and PNG; outputs include PNG layer images and ZIP or .nanodlp plate containers. NanoSupport, a related desktop editor, adds model arrangement and automated or customizable supports before work is sent to NanoDLP or another controller. That division may suit resin users who want an editor for support work alongside browser-based machine control, but it is not a single all-in-one desktop workflow.
NanoDLP is free, with desktop and browser access and cloud, self-hosted, and desktop deployment options. Its useful distinction is the combination of printer hardware control—including Z-axis and shutter—with slicing and job monitoring. Buyers should consider whether their printer setup can pair with supported NanoDLP hardware, since this controller-led workflow depends on that fit. It is a better match for resin users seeking remote access and print oversight than for those looking primarily for a standalone desktop slicer or broad software integrations. Support is through community resources and documentation.
