None of the slicers will, at this time, directly take the solid geometry as we produce in FreeCAD. So we will need to convert any object we want to 3D print into a mesh first, that the slicer can open. Fortunately, as much as converting a mesh to a solid is a complicated operation, the contrary, converting a solid to a mesh, is very straightforward. All we need to be careful about, is that it is here that the degradation we mentioned above will occur. We need to check that the degradation stays within acceptable limits.
