The Software

Slicing the STL:

I use the Freesteel Slicer to slice the STL in PNG images.

I have an old version MS Office 2003 Standard, that I use to assemble the PNG images into a PPS file to be fed to the macro below.

The Macro:

I have modified the John Watson Macro from http://www.chemshapes.com, since I'm familiar with Mach3.

For instructions on how to use:
