 Python slicing package for FDM 3D Printing based on the [COMPAS](https://block.arch.ethz.ch/brg/tools/compas-computational-framework-for-collaboration-and-research-in-architecture-structures-and-digital-fabrication) framework.
 
-## Main features
-
-* Planar slicing (default method, and method based on Cgal library)
-* Curved slicing (interpolation of boundaries, UV slicing, scalar field slicing)
-* Generation of fabrication-related information
-* Export print data to Json and gcode format
-* Visualization of results in grasshopper
-
 ## Getting started
