Hi All,
I'm thinking about building a 3d printer, but got stock on the
software to generate the slices from .stl file.
boxford Rapidpro can do it( like the demo, and it costs around
L
495.00 ),but the countour layers should be cut with a vinil
cutter and
then assemble the model by hand, no, no mistake here, I realy
wrote BY
HAND ( think about those 100's of layers :-( )
Has anyone try it ? or know of a software to slice stl and
output
the slices as a bitmap so it can be printed?
I'm geting tired of using my router to make those thin wall
prototypes, it takes a lot of time to get the parts out.
It would be nice to have a 3d printer, just let it printing
and go
do something else with the router.

If you have Rhino you can use the command contour to produce lots
of
outlines at regular intervals, it should be possible to write a
script
or plug-in to do something with them.

I did that with Rhino, if I can write a script to out put the
countours in dxf layers than open those layers with Coreldraw run a
Visual basic script or macro to fill in each layer then print it.
have to work on how to write rhino scripts.
Thank's
