Synopsis
--------

[](#synopsis)

This library provides PHP 7 functionality for slicing STL formatted 3D objects, and converting them to SVG or GCODE.

NOTE: GCode conversion is highly experimental - change to suit your needs.

NOTE: Requires bcscale(16);

Set-up
------

  "require": {
      [...]
      "php3d/stlslice": "1.*"
  }
```

Then run composer:

```
composer.phar install
```

Examples
