Organic Supports and Open-Source - Community Contributors Thomas Rahm & Daniel Schubert

Thomas Rahm and Daniel Schubert worked on better support structures for 3D printing. Our implementation of Organic Supports in PrusaSlicer is an evolution of the tree supports by Thomas, which are significantly improved tree supports originally from Cura. We would like to thank the Ultimaker Cura team, Thomas Rahm and Daniel Schubert for the effort they have invested into the problem.

Thomas and Daniel accepted our invitation to visit our headquarters, this interview was recorded during their visit.
