Package for fast prototyping slicing algorithms, for example - for 5axes 3d printer

goosli

Package to implement your own slicer using existing possibilities: cutting, crossing, slicing by vector, mesh simplification, line simplification etc.

For example you can slice by profile (for 5axes 3d printer) - find center of each layer, make line from points, simplify line - and slice by this line. See slicers/slice_by_profile.go. For sure your 3d-printer have to support bed rotations.

Feel free to open issues or implement your slicing algorithms.

goosli-colorizer

Save true/false to file for each triangle in stl according to logic (now it is big bias from Z axe)

goosli-cutter

Cut stl in two stls by required plane.

goosli-simplifier

Simplifies stl to required count of triangles.

Technical moments

Rotations are always about global axes, if your rotation axis does not match with global axis - you can use PlaneCenter parameter and shift your plane to match.

Thanks

A lot of ideas and code was taken from various fogleman repos. Thank you!
