## Printing

- [Printing Parts](https://docs.printago.io/docs/printing/printing-parts): Printing in Printago is the process of sending parts from your library to the print queue, where they are matched with compatible printers and produced automatically.
- [Print Queue](https://docs.printago.io/docs/printing/print-queue): The print queue is Printago's central job management system, powered by an intelligent matching engine called Gutenb3d.
- [Materials](https://docs.printago.io/docs/printing/materials): Materials in Printago represent the filaments loaded in your printers and are the primary factor in how jobs get routed to the right machine.
- [Slicer Profiles](https://docs.printago.io/docs/printing/slicer-profiles): Slicer profiles are the collections of print settings—layer height, infill, speed, temperature, and hundreds of other parameters—that control how your 3D models are converted into G-code.
- [Cloud Slicer](https://docs.printago.io/docs/printing/cloud-slicer): The cloud slicer is Printago's on-demand G-code generation system. Instead of pre-slicing your models for every possible printer and material combination, Printago slices each job just in time—only…
