About LuBan
LuBan is generative design software that helps designers and makers in rapid production of their creations. LuBan automatically generates 3D models in various forms, such as lithophane, stack, hash, plate, relief, module, and wireframe. The generated model can be fabricated by 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC milling.
LuBan is actively developed by a highly focused software team, led by Lujie Chen in Singapore and Larry Sass in USA.
LuBan document "Hello LuBan" describes all details of the software.

> What is the difference between LuBan and Slicer (formerly known as 123DMake)?
LuBan and Slicer have a few similar methods, such as the stacking and interlocking models. In every method of LuBan, a model can be resized larger than the working dimension of a machine. LuBan ensures that all parts of the model are generated within the dimension. Slicer does not guarantee this. LuBan also has methods that are not available in Slicer.
