We build our dataset from triangu-lated meshes derived from Objaverse-XL and Thingi10K datasets.

G-code (Geometric code) or RS-274 is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. G-code provides machine instructions for the movement of the 3D printer, especially for the nozzle, stage, and extrusion of material for extrusion-based additive manufacturing. Currently, there does not exist a large repository of curated CAD models along with their corresponding G-code files for additive manufacturing. To address this issue, we present Slice-100K, a first-of-its-kind dataset of over 100,000 G-code files, along with their tessellated CAD model, LVIS (Large Vocabulary Instance Segmentation) categories, geometric properties, and renderings. We build our dataset from triangulated meshes derived from Objaverse-XL and Thingi10K datasets. We demonstrate the utility of this dataset by finetuning GPT-2 on a subset of the dataset for G-code translation from a legacy G-code format (Sailfish) to a more modern, widely used format (Marlin). Our dataset can be found here. Slice-100K will be the first step in developing a multimodal foundation model for digital manufacturing.

Figure 1: The Slice-100K dataset consists of STL files and their G-code counterparts. However, we do foresee some potential negative societal impacts. We provide additional visualizations to understand the distribution of STL models in Slice-100K. Slicing: We utilize Prusa's Slicer for generating G-code from STL files. Finetuning implementation: For finetuning our translation model, we use a batch size of 32 with 8 gradient accumulation steps.
