NAME

       CuraEngine - slicing engine for Cura

DESCRIPTION

       The  CuraEngine is a C++ console application for 3D printing GCode generation. It has been
       made as a better and faster alternative to the old Skeinforge engine.

       This is just a console application for GCode generation. For a full graphical  application
       look at https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura which is the graphical frontend for CuraEngine.

       The  CuraEngine  can  be  used separately or in other applications. Feel free to add it to
       your application. But please take note of the License.

USAGE

       CuraEngine help

              Show this help message

       CuraEngine connect <host>[:<port>] [-j <settings.def.json>]

       --connect <host>[:<port>]

              Connect to <host> via a command socket, instead  of  passing  information  via  the
              command line

       -j<settings.def.json>

              Load settings.json file to register all settings and their defaults

       -v

              Increase the verbose level (show log messages).

       CuraEngine   slice   [-v]   [-p]   [-j  <settings.json>]  [-s  <settingkey>=<value>]  [-g]
       [-e<extruder_nr>] [-o <output.gcode>] [-l <model.stl>] [--next]

       -v

              Increase the verbose level (show log messages).

       -p

              Log progress information.

       -j

              Load settings.def.json file to register all settings and their defaults.

       -s <setting>=<value>

              Set a setting to a value for the last supplied object, extruder train,  or  general
              settings.

       -l <model_file>

              Load an STL model.

       -g

              Switch  setting  focus  to  the  current  mesh  group only.  Used for one-at-a-time
              printing.

       -e<extruder_nr>

              Switch setting focus to the extruder train with the given number.

       --next

              Generate gcode for the previously supplied mesh group and append that to the  gcode
              of further models for one-at-a-time printing.

       -o <output_file>

              Specify a file to which to write the generated gcode.

       The settings are appended to the last supplied object: CuraEngine slice [general settings]

       -g [current group settings]

       -e0 [extruder train 0 settings]

       -l obj_inheriting_from_last_extruder_train.stl [object settings]

       --next [next group settings]

              ... etc.

       In  order  to  load  machine  definitions  from  custom  locations, you need to create the
       environment variable  CURA_ENGINE_SEARCH_PATH,  which  should  contain  all  search  paths
       delimited by a (semi-)colon.
