| Version | Published | Release Notes | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.0.30 | updated to correct a bug that prevented displaying STL file in the GUI app |
||
| 4.0.22 | slicing app reported bug fixed |
||
| 4.0.21 | . |
||
| 4.0.2 | Updated plot_stl to correctly plot STL file. example_plot_stl added to show how to correctly use the file |
||
| 4.0.1 | error corrections to the gui |
||
| 4.0.0 | gui tool added |
||
| 3.2.2 | corrected files uploaded for version 3.2.2.0 |
||
| 3.2.2-0 | updated so that the sliced paths move in same direction when possible |
||
| 3.2.1 | function to read ASCII stl files added |
||
| 3.2.0 | Function to rotate stl file added. |
||
| 3.1.0 | The stl file can now be oriented along x, y or z axis before slicing. The original configuration is assumed to be oriented along x axis. |
||
| 3.0.0 | bug with infinite loop corrected
|
||
| 2.0.0 | intersecting triangles with each slicing plane now calculated using binary search. Big O for this step changed from O(nk) to O(nlogk), where n is the number of triangles and k is the number of slicing planes. |
