An *.FPP file is a 3D printing project file associated with FlashPrint, a slicing software developed by FlashForge. It stores information about the 3D model, such as its position, orientation, and support structures, as well as print settings like layer height, infill density, and print speed. These files are used by FlashForge 3D printers to execute the printing process based on the saved project settings. Essentially, it serves as a blueprint for the 3D printer, guiding it through the fabrication of the physical object from a digital design. This file format is classified as 3D Printing.
