A CTB file may also be a sliced 3D model created by Chitubox, a program used to prepare 3D models for 3D printing. Using a CTB file, various 3D printers can print the model the file describes.
More Information
Chitubox allows 3D printer users to import, arrange, edit, and slice 3D models for printing. Slicing a model converts that model into a set of instructions that a 3D printer uses to print the model (by printing "slices" of the model atop or alongside each other, until the whole model is printed).
Chitubox can save sliced models in several formats, including the CTB format. Several 3D printers with which Chitubox is packaged (such as the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro) can print only models saved in the CTB format. Others can print only models saved in Chitubox's .CBDDLP format.
NOTE: CTB files created by different versions of Chitubox are saved in slightly different file formats. Thus, a 3D printer may be able to print some CTB files but not others.
How to open a CTB file
You can open a CTB file with Chitubox Basic (available for free) or Chitubox Pro (available as a free trial). To do so:
- Open Chitubox's sandwich menu (located in the program's upper-left corner).
- Select .
- Navigate to and open your CTB file.
After opening your CTB file in Chitubox, you can transfer the file to a connected 3D printer, edit the model(s) the file contains, or convert the file to another sliced 3D model format.
How to convert a CTB file
To convert a CTB file to another sliced 3D model format:
- Open the file with Chitubox.
- Click , then , then .
You'll then be able to save your CTB file in any of the slicing formats listed here.
