Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
KISSlicer has not raised any funding rounds and appears to be bootstrapped since its founding in 2011, with no external investors identified; the company offers free and pro versions of its slicing software, with a smaller user community compared to widely adopted platforms, and it is recognized as an established player in the FFF slicing segment with a dual-tier model.
Major Milestones
Reduction to practice of core slicing technology by November 2011; Cited as prior art in USPTO patent dispute proceedings
