 ## Status
 
 Not yet ready:
-- PhotonSlicer was optimized for speed using Cython. The install packages need to be rebuild and are not yet available.
+- PhotonSlicer was optimized for speed using Cython. Check if it is comparable to Anycubic Photon Slicer.
+- The install packages are rebuild but very large to unnecessary numpy.core dll's. Find a to exclude these from package.
 - Real life test with the produced photon files have to be done.
