Aim To study and develop the three dimensional model slicing software for rapid prototyping technology. Methods Secondary development under Solidworks98 condition with VC ++ 5.0. Results Putting in slicing processing menu
realizing the functions of three dimensional model automatic slicing and two dimension slicing files stored automatically. Conclusion The software serves the needs of slicing processing for economical SSM system and achieves the expected purpose. Of course
there still exist some problems in the slicing software
such as more complicated operations
a large number of unnecessary informations to be stored and so on. It will be further perfected yet.
