Module VisCAM RP
VisCAM RP is the ideal software package for the complete preparation of your CAD/CAM data
for any Rapid Prototyping application.
VisCAM RP assists you in all processing steps from the verification and repair of the CAD/CAM
data, the efficient preparation and assembly of build jobs up to the generation of build-ready
slice files including hatches and support structures.
VisCAM RP is not only limited to process STL files, but also offers the integrated generation,
visualisation and processing of slice files. The unrivalled number of interfaces and supported file
formats enables you to generate build data for nearly all available RP machines. The flexible
system concept together with the full control of your model and build data at any time makes
VisCAM RP the optimal software solution for your RP data preparation.
All offered VisCAM Mesh modules for efficient visualisation, repair and editing of STL files are
also available as base modules for VisCAM RP.

Setup
Build
Build preparation
• integrated database with more then 150 RP machines
• generate shell models with different hulls and cores
• inclusion of structures for lightweight constructions
• visual wall thickness analysis and control
• automatic orientation and alignment of parts
• fully automatic placement and nesting of parts
• duplicate, insert, scale and transform parts
• definable material shrinkage compensation
• adjustable build time and cost estimation
Slice generation and processing
• fast and exact slice generation from triangle models
(STL files)
• import of CLI, SLC, F&S, SSL, SLI and NC files
• automatic fixing of degenerated and self-intersecting
contours
• subsequent calculation of variable layer thickness
• single slice or complete model view in 2D and 3D
• automatic placement and nesting of slice parts
• duplicate, insert, scale and transform slice parts
• adjustable build time and cost calculation
• step-wise animation of the build progress
• export slices as CLI, SLC, F&S, SLI, SSL, ISO G-Code,
NC, STD, DXF, HPGL, BMP, PNG, TIFF and SRI files
