If you need it for just a few jobs, You could DL the Free Rhino3D Evaluation
ver. Its good for bout 20 saves/exports. It may be that you can simple
extract the slices & print them directly from Rhino without even using your
saves. In addition, if you like it well enough you can buy it for around
$600.00 U.S. I am a pretty biased diehard Rhino user though for its
versatility & power.
