Saves the build data in the machine format (STD) of a MJS machine
Prior to saving build data, separate settings can be defined for the different traverse path types,
for the material feed rate (pressure in the nozzle,) and for the machine feed rate (traverse speed).
Dialog of the MJS Interfacer
Parameters for traverse paths:
Individual values for the material feed rate and machine feed rate can be defined for contours,
filling and fast move.
Additional parameters
Writes the model dimensions in an additional SDA file, which has the same file name as the STD
file.
The STD format is a very simple ASCII format for the points of the part that have to be run up
by the nozzle control. Within a BEGIN, END block of the part, every individual traverse point is
listed in a separate row and there is no distinction between contours, filling, etc. The distinction
is only controlled by the according values for the material feed rate and the machine feed rate,
which the nozzle control uses in each case for traversing from point to point.
Each row contains therefore the X-, Y-, and Z- co-ordinates of a point, as well as the material
feed rate and the machine feed rate for the traverse to this point. The process starts with a rapid
traverse to the first point. Because of a transfer between two contours resp. unconnected hatch
areas, rapid traverse may also be applied within a slice. The change to the subsequent slice also
causes a rapid traverse.
