I remember running across a post sometime in the last couple of months about a new c++ based slicer that someone had started which including a link to the source. I've spent several hours trying to find it again via search/google and I've been completely unsuccessful. Does anyone remember it? Can anyone provide a link? I thought I had bookmarked it but I cannot find my bookmark either.
Thank you in advance for any help.

there is also a program called net-fab but it think you are referring to the above. i did not link the download directly, i linked to the blog with the download link in it

Slice & Dice is a Visual Basic .NET program not c++.

Usage
Mandoline is a lightning-fast command-line program that slices 3D files into toolpaths for home-build thermoplastic-extrusion 3D printers like the RepRap or MakerBot. It can currently parse 3D input files in .STL binary or ASCII formats. Output will be in G-Code or .S3G formatted files. (Not yet implemented)
At the moment it doesn't yet output toolpaths of any sort, so it's far less than useful. It's an alpha state progress demo, really.
You can dump SVG files for each layer, for debugging purposes. What is implemented is the basic carve and interior infill. And that's buggy. It won't do multiple shells and insets and rafts and comb yet.
What is implemented, though, is extremely fast. I mean OMGWTFBBQ fast. Don't take my word for it. Download the code and compile it, and slice a complex STL file with it. If comparing it to another slicer, compare the Carve and Infill times.
It is C++ but currently not usable for anything...

slice and dice seems like it is usable is it not? i don't know if it will work with WINE in ubuntu, but on windows it should work. Yes it is VB.
if anything you could learn from the way slice and dice works. there are some free slicer applications for the medical field that are written in c++
are there any special features this program had you can remember?
please add solved to the title if you feel you've reach a solution. thx

It needs the Cygwin environment to compile/run on Windows and I don't have that installed anywhere at the moment. However, until it can actually produce useful output there is little reason to make a precompiled version available as it is not currently usable in its current state. That said, if you do have any use for the output it can produce (a set of SVG files, i think) let me know and I'll get a binary built.
