How to convert "SLICED", stl or obj files to JPEG or jpg file?

I was wondering if a sliced .stl file (or any other 3 D file) can be converted to JPEG or jpg or similar file, so that we can print on a desk jet, inkjet or similar printers.

Hello syed, If you are going for a 3DP/powder bed printer then I would check out this link. http://ytec3d.com/plan-b/ . This is a printer similar to what you are looking to do. Nate

3D rendering but it will produce JPEGs for you.
They also have some stuff for creating STLs from objects created from blender... so sort of .

What do you want to know about the Ceramic printers . I think you mean the Gypsum ones.
I don't think there are any build your own opensource printers of that type they are about the size of a large photo copier and cost about £50K

Mr. Jonathan Keep has uploaded a video, "How to make Ceramic printer" on Youtube, He has shown the parts, but no dimensions. He showed how to assemble them. May be it has less accuracy in printing, but I want to try it using plaster of paris, ceramic and may be gypsum.

I want to try 3 D printing using some adhesive with different powders, including clay etc.

WOW. Looks good.

The one Jonathan Keep has demonstrated, has something which can be modified.
I am wondering if some body can replace and try these options. I mean I will try to do it, but may be somebody out there has better sense of 3 D printing and can make these things better than I can do. The ceramic injector can be replace with plastic injector. I have a PVC welding machine, which may be installed at this printer. More over somebody may install an injector to make a WAX statue, which may lead to INVESTMENT CASTING.
