AbFab3D is a library to help develop 3D printing editors and tools. Buidling AbFab3D: We use Apache Ant as the build system. You can download ant here: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi From the main directory type: ant build This will build the library. All external dependecies besides Ant are checked into the project. Voxels programs can use a lot of ram so I'd recommend a 64 bit Java JVM. If your running with a 32 bit JVM you will likely need to lower the ram specifications for programs Running Examples: AbFab3D contains several example programs that show how to use the codebase. These examples are loocated in the apps/* directory. To run an example go into the directory and type: ant run Most of the examples generate an binary X3D file to "out.x3db". Typically I use the standlone brower from the Xj3D project(www.xj3d.org) to view these files. To use X3D browsers that don't support the binary format change the file ending to ".x3dv"
