What slicer to use for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon)
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon), but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon).
Cloud-Based Slicer for Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon)
All supported slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon) models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon): check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon)
SimplyPrint works as the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon)'s app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon) in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.

What filament can the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon) print?
Filament compatibility for the Proteor ICARUS-Lite (Typhoon): the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
Great
Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles
With care
Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU.
ABS & ASA
With care
The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints.
Nylon (PA)
With care
Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential.
Polycarbonate (PC)
With care
On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.

PROTEOR is a French orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) company headquartered in Dijon, founded by the Pierron family and active for more than 110 years. In February 2025 it bought Filament Innovations, maker of the ICARUS printers that O&P clinics use to print prosthetic sockets, braces and orthoses, and it now sells them in the US as part of its PROTEOR Digital Suite with scanning and design software. These are specialist clinic machines, not general-purpose printers.

Mixed, judged on four of six areas: open-source-based electronics and PrusaSlicer support, but a cloud-centred workflow, a material marketed as exclusive and little public documentation.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
The ICARUS printers are built on Duet electronics, whose standard RepRapFirmware is open source; we found no published PROTEOR firmware or configuration.
[2][3]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
The ICARUS printers run on Duet electronics, connect over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB and can be sliced in PrusaSlicer, but remote monitoring and control, shared files and the online slicer run through PROTEOR Print OS, a cloud platform. Duet's HTTP interface is documented, but PROTEOR does not say whether it is open to other software on its printers.
[2][4][11]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
PrusaSlicer is supported alongside PROTEOR's online slicer, and PROTEOR sells 1.75 mm filament and pellets; but the printers are marketed around its exclusive CPX-KyronMAX material and its own high-flow extruder.
[2][5][6]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Little public documentation: we found no public manuals, forum or code. PROTEOR says it added an Academy with installation, maintenance and software videos in early 2026, and support comes from its digital team.
[4][1]
Pros
Built for O&P: prints definitive sockets and braces in hours with a high-flow extruder.
Part of one clinic workflow: scanning, design and printing from the same company.
PrusaSlicer is supported, not only PROTEOR's own slicer.
Backed by an O&P company with more than 110 years of history.
Cons
Remote management and the online slicer depend on PROTEOR's cloud platform.
Little public documentation; spare parts and repair information are not published.
Marketed around an exclusive material (CPX-KyronMAX).
Specialist machines for O&P clinics, not general-purpose printers.
Track record
2026: PROTEOR added an Academy to its Print OS platform in the first quarter of 2026, with videos on installation, maintenance and software.
[4]
February 5, 2025: PROTEOR announced it had acquired Filament Innovations, maker of the ICARUS 3D printer and co-developer of the CPX-KyronMAX filament, adding 3D printing to its digital O&P portfolio.
[8][9][10]
2020: In late 2020 the investors ARDIAN Growth and BNP Paribas Développement joined the Pierron family, which remains the majority shareholder, to fund international growth.
