Hi, Peter -
Our DSPC systems don't have a need for intermediate files. We
take STL of the positive part, invert it into a mold and add gates and
risers, then dump it into our machine. Since ours is a raster process
with (presently) 128 jets we have simple enough slicing to do that we can
slice and generate all line data on a lowly DOS 486 with 16-32MB for most
parts, and we do it on the fly. If we needed more speed, we'd actually
want to transfer the data path to PCI bus
