Review the plate before you return
Reach OrcaSlicer on your Mac with your printer profiles and prepared plates still loaded. Check support placement, read slicing estimates, and inspect the layer preview before deciding what to do next.
- Review the prepared plate and supports
- Inspect layer previews and estimates
- Check printer and filament profiles
Use OrcaSlicer on iPad
On iPad, the plate preview and slicing controls are easier to inspect together. Use it to review a prepared job in the same desktop slicer.
How to get OrcaSlicer on your iPhone or iPad
- Open OrcaSlicer on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
- Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.

Can I use OrcaSlicer on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming OrcaSlicer from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with OrcaSlicer installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Apperture provides access to the slicer window. Printer connectivity and monitoring depend on your OrcaSlicer configuration; starting a print still requires your usual printer checks. OrcaSlicer product information.
