UV Slicer WASM

Warning

This project is in early development. The API may change before a stable 1.0 release. Use with caution in production.

Overview

This WebAssembly library converts bitmap image data into various resin 3D printer slice formats, optimized for browser-based applications. Similar in functionality to UVTools' converter, this library brings format conversion capabilities directly to web environments.

Key Features

• 🌐 Browser-first Design: Runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly
• 🖼️ Multi-format Support: Convert to/from common resin printing formats
• ⚡ SIMD Accelerated: Optimized performance using WebAssembly SIMD
• 🔄 Parallel Processing: Web Worker support for multi-threaded conversions
• 🧹 Zero-dependency: Pure C++ compiled to WASM with clean JavaScript interface

Supported Formats

Input Formats

• Raw bitmap data (Uint8Array)

Output Formats

• .prz (Phrozen)
• ...

Installation

NPM

npm install uv-slicer-wasm

Usage

Basic Conversion

import { init } from "uv-slicer-wasm";
import wasmUrl from "uv-slicer-wasm/lib/wasm/uv-slicer.wasm?url";

const wasm = await init(wasmUrl);
const result = wasm.encodePrzImage({ data: data, useColorDiffCompression: useColorDifferenceCompression });

Performance

Typical conversion times on modern browsers:

Resolution	Format	Single-thread	4 Workers	SIMD
8K (7680x4320)	.prz	300ms	80ms	30ms

API Reference

SliceConverter Class

declare interface EmbindModule {
    encodePwsImage(_0: any): any;
    encodePw0Image(_0: any): any;
    encodePrzImage(_0: any): any;
}

export declare function init(wasmURL: string): Promise<UVSlicerModule>;

export declare type UVSlicerModule = WasmModule & EmbindModule;

declare interface WasmModule {
    _main(_0: number, _1: number): number;
}

export { }

Building from Source

Build Steps

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/uv-slicer-wasm.git
