Supported file formats:
-
.dxf – for 3D and 2D object fabrication.
-
.plt (.hpgl, .hpg) – standart plotter format for fabrication of 2D objects; features fabrication trajectory optimization, hatching function with varying line density and angle.
-
.stl – file format standard used in 3D lithography; features horizontal and angled slicing, shell formation according to surface of an object, shells (or layers) can vary in numbers, distance between shells. User can define number of inside and outside shells to be modelled and distance between shells. This allows increasing wall thickness of a fabricated 3D object.
- .bmp- common raster graphics file format, featuring gray scale fabrication based on pulse density, relief fabrication based on bitmap intensity levels, polarization change based on bitmap intensity levels.
.stl file is formed of triangles.
.stl file sliced by SCA engineer.
Sliced object, having 3 shells to thicken the wall.
