<title><![CDATA[SlicerPro, a LDraw slicing and stamping tool]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://philohome.com/isecalc/slicerpro.htm]]></link><description><![CDATA[SlicerPro is not a professional version of some Slicer tool, but a much improved version of my older Projector tool! Not only does it project flat patterns onto 3D shapes, it also slices the pattern along the edges of the former, making pattern generation much easier. Among other improvements:

    * Work in all three X, Y, Z directions
    * Support for subpart inlining
    * Vertices unification, allowing to close tiny gaps caused by rounding errors.

Program, documentation, source code are available.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[New LDraw Tool for Parts author: Edger2]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[http://philohome.com/isecalc/edger2.htm]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lee Gaiteri’s Edger utility allows to create conditional lines between adjacent facets, and edge lines on outside (unmatched) facets. But it has a few drawbacks, such as requiring perfect match between facets (something hard to get because of limited precision of some tools such as MLCad), and it doesn’t manage subparts or primitives. Since we had a C++ training at job, I suggested to write an improved version of Edger as an application exercise. Edger2 is the result...
