MatterControl offers the ability to switch between one of three slicing engines: [[MatterSlice]], [[CuraEngine]], and [[Slic3r]].

== Restrictions ==

*Third-party slicers (CuraEngine, Slic3r) are not available on all versions, including custom-branded OEM builds, and on the MatterControl Touch tablets (T7, T10). MatterSlice is the default slice engine, and is available in all versions of MatterControl.
*MatterSlice is the only slice engine available in MatterControl that is capable of producing [[Multi-Extrusion|multi-extrusion]] prints. Third-party slicers do not appear in the Slice Engine menu when [[SETTINGS/Printer/Features/Hardware/Extruder Count|Extruder Count]] is set to a value greater than 1.
*Third-party slicers are not available in MatterControl for Linux by default, but can be added by following the instructions here: [[Development/Running_on_Linux#Using_Other_Slice_Engines|Running on Linux: Using Other Slice Engines]]
