Re:Show HN: 100x Faster Slicing of SCAD Files for 3D Printing by salamanderman on Sunday November 11, 2018 @06:39PM (#18429445)
Since you're going for 3d print level accuracy, and appear to be targeting PLA or ABS, I wonder if approximation of the Booleans by tessellation and then using a BSP tree wouldn't be even faster and use much less memory.

RLE is probably fine too. Easy to do set operations on RLE data structures without "decompressing" them too. Quite a bit simpler than BSP trees for most people I think :-).
