G-code is a language in which people tell computerized machine tools how to make G-code is a language in which people tell computerized machine tools how to make something. The "how" is defined by instructions on where to move, how fast to move, and what path to move. The most common situation is that, within a machine tool, a cutting tool is moved according to these instructions through a toolpath and cuts away material to leave only the finished workpiece. The same concept also extends to noncutting tools such as forming or burnishing tools, photoplotting, additive methods such as 3D printing, and measuring instruments.

Sorry about the title question.
100% newbie in a hurry :-)
Thanks for your answer.
I´m using Lightwave 11.6 making .obj. files that I thought would go straight into the Ultimaker 2+. How can i slice my model? Is there a working solution that won't cost me to much?

Hi and welcome,
Please don't put the whole question in the title
The reason is simple, 3d printers only know about gcode, STL or OBJ files need to be sliced by a slicer in order to be printed...
Here comes Cura 5.9 and in this stable release we have lots of material and printer profiles for UltiMaker printers, including the newly released Sketch Sprint. Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
