Provides a HTTP API for slicing 3d-models, using the same backend as Cura. This allows the slicing to happen on a more powerful computer, great for embedded or mobile use.

Pre-requisite for to using noflo-3dprint slicing components.

Note: This project does not aim to provide an API for the printer control parts of Cura (only slicing). Instead use OctoPrint for that.

UNMAINTAINED DEMO.

• Not updated since 2014
• No API authentication
• Probably broken with newer Cura/CuraEngine versions

Use the code however you see fit. If you want help to build a web-enabled 3d-printer slicer, I am available for consulting.

Note: only tested on GNU/Linux :)

Install Cura from http://software.ultimaker.com or your distro.

Install Python modules

pip install -r requirements.txt # Or get from your distro

Run

python2 cura-server.py

Open http://localhost:8888 to see the trivial API demo

POST /slice
    Slice provided STL file, using the computer-wide settings for Cura.

Affero GPL, like Cura itself.
