Hey all!
I've been working on a library for reading/writing/manipulating/slicing STL files and it's now at the point where it's working pretty well. The library is here:
[
github.com]
Right now it can very easily read in an STL file and output slices as SVG images, the scaling and positioning of the slices will be improving within a couple of days.
I'm planning on using it as the core for a system that will be automatically generating toolpaths for CNC Routers and Mills, but I thought that it would also be useful for 3D printer toolpath operations.
Right now I'm looking for feedback on it's usefulness, accuracy and feature-set. ie: what features would you guys like to see in a library like this?
The next thing on my list is depth-map generation as I will be using that as the backbone of a lot of my toolpath decisioning logic.
Thanks and enjoy!
