Slicing

From CandyFabWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Slicing is the operation of turning a 3D object into a set of 2D files that can be fabbed on a 3D fabricator such as the CandyFab.

[edit] Slicing within POV-Ray

The CandyFab project has an existing Tutorial on converting STL files to POV-Ray and slicing them there.

[edit] Other Approaches

The RepRap project has an open-source STL slicing program constructed in Java. Future versions of the [[CandyFab_Software|CandyFab desktop software] may directly incorporate this capability.

Google Sketchup is an interesting tool for 3D design-- it may have the capability to export slices, with an appropriate script added.
