Development of a stereolithography (STL) input and computer numerical control (CNC) output algorithm for an entry-level 3-D printer

This paper presents a prototype Stereolithography (STL) file format slicing and tool-path generation algorithm, which serves as a data front-end for a Rapid Prototyping (RP) entry- level three-dimensional (3-D) printer. Used mainly in Additive Manufacturing (AM), 3-D printers are devices that apply...
