## What's it?
Slic3r is (er, will be) an STL-to-GCODE translator for RepRap 3D printers,
Slic3r is an STL-to-GCODE translator for RepRap 3D printers,
like Enrique's Skeinforge or RevK's E3D.
## Why another one? Why Perl?
## Why a new one? Why Perl?
The purpose is to build something more maintainable and flexible than both
Skeinforge and E3D. The code makes extensive use of object-oriented

* support material for internal perimeters;
* ability to infill in the direction of bridges;
* cool;
* other fill patterns;
* nice packaging for cross-platform deployment.
## Is it usable already?
Yes. I need to write a script to install dependencies.
Yes, although its extrusion math needs to be tested.
I need to write a script to install dependencies and to package
dependency-free executables for main platforms.
## Can I help?
Sure! Send patches and/or drop me a line at aar@cpan.org. You can also
