Hello,

I am looking for pointers to slicing algorithms and the maths related to it.
Do you have any good reading to recommend?
Perhaps online university courses? Scientific papers?
Any nice source code you recommend reading?

I want to learn the basics of how to implement a slicer.

BR,
David

I haven't gone through it all, but there may be some useful stuff in here: [garyhodgson.com]

try this: [wiki.linuxcnc.org]

Do a search for "CAM toolpath algorithms"

A technical description of one of the early RepRap slicing algorithms is described here.

Just for future reference, I found this link by going to the sticky post at the top of the General forum called Read Before Posting - Technical Questions and Answers and then I looked up the question How does a slicer algorithm work? winking smiley
