Builders/Alternative host software

If you have written a RepRap-driving program for a Linux or Windows PC or a Mac (or any other computer) this is the place to document it.

Currently, there are various alternatives with varying functions. They can be broken down into the following categories:

• All in one/ Monolithical programs that both read design file and control the machine; (RepSnapper, http://reprap.org/wiki/RepSnapper_Manual:Installation ( windows only ))

• CAD file to G-Code parsers ( Enrique's skeinforge, (Skeinforge is a tool chain composed of Python scripts that converts your 3d model into G-Code instructions for Rapman.),Neil Gershenfeld's cam.py ) Slic3r

• RepRap G-Code Controllers ( ReplicatorG, Erik's dotG )

• Direct SNAP RepRap SNAPComms controllers ( ? )
