Create a color 3D slicer?

EDWARD AYLWARD
Posted 8 years ago

Hello All! I've decided to use Wolfram as a platform to learn how to code a Color 3D Slicer. I'm a total newbie when it comes to coding anything other than HTML. Any advice, suggestions, or help would be highly appreciated., i.e. how to incorporate color information to slices. Thanks!

The file format will be .amf. Each 2D color slice image will be a page in a .pdf document or a .png or .tiff file. The program also needs to have the ability to hollow out the center of the print and to provide automatic support creation.

A slicer is a program that slices a 3D model into layers to be printed on a 3D printer. I need one that will slice a full color 3D file. There is only one that I know of and it is proprietary to Zcorp, now 3D Systems Corp. The open source slicers will only slice monochrome 3D models.

What is a Color Slicer? I'm not sure what a slice is in this context. Can you give an example?
