FeatureRequest: Users can add 3D printing/CAM program to menu/toolbar

[MarcusWolschon]

So many users use 3D printing nowadays,
wouldn't it be great if users could add a combination of an export-format (usually STL) and a local program to the File-menu or to the toolbar to export the current model into a temp-file and call the given program with that file?

That could speed up a lot of rapid-prototyping workflows with many iterations to be printed and refined.

There is a 'Suggest a Feature' button on the front page of this forum site.

Thanks. I didn't see it in that wall of otherwise ignored text .

Along that line (sort of) please read my comment to THIS.

Sorry, not interested at all in Skeinforge (it was already outdated many years ago) nor in any other specifc slicer like "Simplify 3D".

Myself i'm using Cura 3 for printing, Deskproto for CNC machining large, organic meshes and Fusion360 for CNC machining technical objects.

Personally I tink that S3D is miles ahead of Cura. And should Alibre ever integrate a slicer I sure hope its S3D...

Just so long as they don't incorporate Zortrax's Z-Suite slicer (it's proprietary).
