I'd love to hear about the pros and cons of the newly announced "slicer". I've been using Netfabb for years for fixing, slicing, merging, and converting stl files. And oh ya... netfabb basic is still...... free.

You can use your stl importer with pattern editor to export as stl slices for your 3d printers.

The STL Importer software is a nice piece of software. It gives a very clean on screen look to the object and slices. It's also very easy to use. And if you position the 3D image for a good side view and save as an stl in blender then you can use the STL software to flatten out the image in a way that will make it usable for bas relief carving. The only drawback is that you must export an slice as a raster image to work on it. And the raster image comes out very bumpy and has a lot of stepping when you bring it back in to designer. If it could export a smoother image it would be so much better. But if you just take the image and export as a pattern in the favorites folder its smooth as can be. But your always going to have to edit slices and Pattern Editor is not a good program to do it in. In fact I have yet to be able to figure out how to use Pattern Editor.
STL Importer is accessed through Designer Software and can export as a .ptn for use in the CW. To export as an .STL format, you also need Pattern Editor software.
Slicer does not use Designer Software, it is a stand-alone. It can only export as an .stl format, which other cnc machines & 3d printers can import. It cannot export as a .ptn (CW's format for patterns.)
Again, CarveWright customers do not need to buy Slicer. It is for NON-CarveWright customers only.
