Hi everyone, I’d like to introduce you to my newly public slicer, Bread.

It’s not stunningly stable yet, but Bread should allow people to start printing with 3D layer shapes, like the ones I’ve been posting around here for the past few months.

With the exception of a single .dll wrapping the Clipper library from C++, Bread is also written entirely in Java. The source code is mostly commented, mostly modular, and entirely under GPL v3, so it should be great to hack on.

Anyway, let me know what you think, and please submit issues/patches as you come up with them!

How are you the first to use this name! I’m looking forward to playing with it!

What makes bread different than other slicers? Are there any unique features that others lack that prompted you to write your own slicer?

@Kellen_Lundry reading the read me, his slicer is experimenting with non planner layers

@Camerin_hahn Indeed, although I’ve been told non-planar has some more complex definition involving laminated materials, and my layers (despite being curved) are still “planar” in some mathematical sense?

Anyway, I’ve switched nomenclatures to simply “3D layers.”
