Could CW generate machine tool paths?

Postby Jack He » Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:20 am

Hi guys, I'm building a SLA printer by myself, and I use a laser draws the model, line by line, as does a FDM/FFF 3D printer.
So could CW generate machine tool paths for SLA laser x/y as well as FDM printers? I have tried CW and not found it, I need some help.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, CW can control and generate SLA Galvo toolpaths for laser based printers. I also have a plugin that allows Slic3r to generate FDM tools paths.

That's great, but I didn't find how to generate SLA Galvo tool paths for my laser printer by CW, and where can I get the plugin you mentioned to generate FDM tools paths?
