+# FastPrint
+
+FastPrint is a modular, GPU-accelerated 3D slicer for 3D printing, featuring B-spline and Mitchell–Netravali filtering, CUDA/OpenCL acceleration, and Marlin firmware connectivity.
+
+## Features
+
+- **STL Model Loading**: Supports ASCII STL files.
+- **B-spline & Mitchell–Netravali Filtering**: For smooth surface interpolation.
+- **GPU Acceleration**: Uses ILGPU for CUDA/OpenCL slicing.
+- **Marlin Firmware Communication**: Connects to standard 3D printers.
+- **WPF GUI**: Simple interface for slicing and printer control.
+
+## Folder Structure
+
+- `Geometry/`: B-spline and Mitchell–Netravali filter logic.
+- `Slicing/`: GPU-accelerated slicing kernel.
+- `Printer/`: Marlin firmware connector.
+- `Model/`: STL model loader.
+- `UI/`: WPF GUI.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Dependencies**:
+   - ILGPU (`NuGet`)
+   - System.IO.Ports
+   - .NET Desktop Runtime
+
+2. **CUDA/OpenCL**:
+   - Install CUDA Toolkit for NVIDIA GPU support.
+   - ILGPU will auto-select available accelerators.
+
+3. **Build & Run**:
+   - Open in Visual Studio 2022.
+   - Build solution.
+   - Run `FastPrint.UI.MainWindow`.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Open an STL file.
+2. Click "Slice" to process the model.
+3. Select a COM port and connect to your printer.
+4. Send G-code commands as needed.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Only ASCII STL is supported in this version.
+- Slicing logic is a placeholder; expand as needed for production use.
+- Visualization and G-code export are not included in this minimal example.
