Autodesk Fusion is 3D CAD software for making 3D designs. It will also "slice" those models and output the g-code that will drive a 3D printer layer by layer. Fusion can also produce g-codes for driving a mill or lathe. That is one of Fusion's best features: It is an end-to-end system where yo use the same software for concept renderings as for manufacturing by either subtractive of advice process. You can 3D print a prototype then later mill the same part.
Fusion is free for hobby use, students and any small-time shop who make less than $50K per year with the software. If you are selling more than $50K they want a paid up license. There is other free software but it tends to be the work of one of a couple people. Fusion is suported by an industry heavyweight What I don't know is if Fusion will slice an STL file that it did not create. Can it slice an imported one?
