About Menu: Help No icon No short cut Shows general information about VisCAM RP The program information dialog shows the contained modules of VisCAM RP. In addition, the version, the registration, and the copyright information are shown, as well as the contact address of Marcam Engineering. When using VisCAM with a dongle licence, a button "Select server" for selecting a licence server is available additionally. Reference: 378
CLI interface Menu: Icon: Short cut: Saves build data in the CLI format for controlling EOS installations As means of transfer of the build data to RP machines of the supplier Electro Optical Systems (EOS), all slice data including hatches and supports is saved in the CLI format. However, the EOS machine control cannot always read in CLI data directly and therefore data needs to be converted to the readable SLI format partly. Converting from the CLI to the SLI format can be accomplished by EOS RP Tools, that belong to most EOS machines or are available from EOS for this purpose. The EOS machine control can read in converted SLI data directly. The EOS machine control assigns each SLI data file its own set of exposure parameters, which determines how the installation generates the build part data of the SLI data file. The assigned exposure parameters always relate to the entire content of the SLI data file. Therefore, varying parts like contours or supports are usually saved in separate SLI data files and they are transferred individually to the EOS machine control. This way, a set of parameters can be assigned in each case to the separate SLI data files, e.g. for different exposure of contours and supports. The CLI Interfacer offers therefore the possibility to save the elements contained in a slice model separately from each other or to save them combined with each other and distributed in several different CLI data files. Besides contours and supports, the different hatch types that can be generated by VisCAM RP are also distinguished. By default, an SLI data file contains the contours of a part without the filling that is necessary for the generation of the contour area. The EOS machine control generates this filling immediately when the part is build. There are several types of filling and filling parameters available. Furthermore, the set of exposure parameters contains settings for beam compensation, for velocity and capacity of the laser separately for contours and filling, as well as for shrinkage in X and Y. VisCAM RP supports all of these exposure parameters and thus it can generate build data including filling and supports in full already in advance. This allows improved check and control of build data as well as build time and build costs previous to data transfer to the installation. In addition, the VisCAM Slice Hatcher can generate efficient filling hatches that go beyond the standard filling options, and for example, improved surface qualities can be achieved for laser sintering in case of a complete filling with border offset. The exposure parameter settings of the EOS machine control must be adapted or disabled if the transferred build data has already been calculated entirely by VisCAM RP. For this purpose the parameter SLI_HATCH is available in the filling area of the exposure parameters. If SLI_HATCH is enabled or chosen as parameter setting, the machine will not generate any hatching and the imported build data are built directly without any further changes. In addition, VisCAM RP may have calculated material shrinkage and spot compensation already. Thus, those values should be set to zero in order to prevent a falsification of build data. HINT: If build data has already been generated completely by VisCAM RP, the exposure parameter SLI_HATCH must be enabled on the EOS machine control for imported supports, hatches or contours, and the parameter values for beam compensation as well as shrinkage must be set to zero if necessary.
