.SH "DESCRIPTION"
CuraEngine is a commandline tool for converting 3\-D models to toolpaths used by 3\-D printers, in particular RepRap and derivatives\. It is meant to be used by the cura(1) gui, but can be used without it\.
.
.P
It does not support the use of a configuration file; all settings must be specified on the commandline\.
.
.P
If not output file is specified, the standard output is used\.
.
.P
All settings are integer values, except for startCode and endCode, which are strings\. Note that they should usually contain newlines; make sure to use proper escaping to avoid the shell from parsing them\.
.
.P
The units that are used are:
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Lengths are in micrometers\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Speeds are in millimeters per second\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Angles are in degrees\.
.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Times are in seconds\.
.
.IP "" 0
