Key Features

Implicit Data Processing: Process implicit data from nTopology by defining a minimum feature size parameter. Decreasing this value increases output accuracy but requires more computation time.

Advanced Border Control

  • Selective downskin border scanning: Option to skip border scanning for downskins in split border mode, potentially reducing support requirements.

  • Continuous trajectory scanning: Scan downskin and volume borders in a single fluent path without start/stop interruptions.

Enhanced Slicing Capabilities

  • Magics composed parts: Full support for slicing parts composed in Magics.

  • Smart stripe filling: Ensures consistent filling patterns across similar parts and uses hatch patterns for small areas to avoid stripe cuts.

Performance & Processing

  • 10x faster processing: Significant performance improvement compared to classic Nikon SLM build processor.

  • Configurable z-chunk size: Control the number of layers processed simultaneously. Increase for systems with more RAM to improve slicing speed.

Print Quality Improvements

  • Overheat prevention: Automatic delay insertion between short vectors based on minimum vector scan time thresholds.

  • Multiple downskin zones: Configure different zones based on overhang area size.
