This setting allows you to generate your selected [infill pattern](#sparse-infill-pattern) using multiple parallel lines while preserving both the defined [infill density](#sparse-infill-density) and the overall material usage.
This setting allows the selected [infill pattern](#sparse-infill-pattern) to be generated using up to 10 parallel extrusion lines per path, while preserving both the defined [infill density](#sparse-infill-density) and the overall material usage.

> Orca's approach is different from other slicers that simply multiply the number of lines and material usage, generating a denser infill than expected.
Orca Slicer keeps the cross-section constant for the set density.

### Use cases
- Increasing the number of lines (e.g., 2 or 3) can **improve part strength** and **print speed** without increasing material usage.
- **Fire-retardant applications:** Some flame-resistant materials (like PolyMax PC-FR) require a minimum printed wall/infill thickness—often 1.53mm—to comply with standards. Since infill contributes to overall part thickness, using multiple lines helps achieve the necessary thickness without switching to a large nozzle or printing with 100% infill. This is especially useful for high-temperature materials like PC, which are prone to warping when fully solid.
- Creating **aesthetic** infill patterns (like [Grid](strength_settings_patterns#grid) or [Honeycomb](strength_settings_patterns#honeycomb)) with multiple line widths—without relying on CAD modeling or being limited to a single extrusion width.
- Increase stability for weak infill patterns like [Lightning](strength_settings_patterns#Lightning).
- Printing gears and other mechanisms, because multiline infill transfer torque better.

> [!WARNING]
> For self intersecting infills (e.g. [Cubic](strength_settings_patterns#cubic), [Grid](strength_settings_patterns#grid)) multiline count greater than 3 may cause layer shift, extruder clog or other issues due to overlapping of lines on intersection points.

### Strategy
The way multiple lines are generated depends on the selected infill pattern.
The following describes possible strategies for infill generation.
#### Classic Strategy
For most self intersecting infills (e.g. [Cubic](strength_settings_patterns#cubic)) multiline will generate closed loops to avoid overlapping lines. This may lead to some increased print time.
![infill-multiline-closed-loops](https://github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSlicer_WIKI/blob/main/images/fill/infill-multiline-closed-loops.png?raw=true)
#### Non-Crossing Strategy
[Grid](strength_settings_patterns#grid) & [Triangles](strength_settings_patterns#triangles) patterns use a Non-crossing multiline strategy.
For these infill patterns, an alternative approach is used, generating trapezoidal trajectories designed to avoid self-intersections of the infill lines. In each layer, the pattern rotates to ensure isotropic strength.
This strategy improves printing times by avoiding closed loops in favor of continuous printing paths.
