Introduction
Netfabb engine for RepRap creates machine code for RepRap-like 3D printers printers from the *.STL format. Such software is sometimes called a "slicer".
This software is included in the purchase of a fabbster 3D printer.

A variant of this engine is what we would call Netfabb engine for fabbster. However, so far it is not documented as such and since a fabbster is just a somewhat modified Mendel RepRap design, most functionality should be the same. Probably the only major difference is the easy to understand USB control interface, machine settings, etc.
