Has anyone else used Cura for slicing? I use it with my reprap, and it puts slicer to shame. They eliminated the slice button, it occurs in the background. I think they are using the GPU or something to get fast slices.
I've been using it for a month now and love it. Is there anything similar for a DLP printer? (I just found Creation workshop, I'm going to check it out tonight).

Re: Cura: Fast slices
I have tried cura in an early release, but my laptops are from the rubish bin, so gpu not up to much, non have cuda,so can not use my kinect scanner, anyway creation workshop slices so fast, blink and you miss it.

Re: Cura: Fast slices
Very true,
CW slices "on the fly" now, slicing and displaying each slice on a as-needed basis. Now that I support FDM machine printing as well as SLA, my plan is to incorporate a most robust slicer directly into CW that can be used to generate machine tool paths for SLA laser x/y as well as FDM prints.
