Raster image interface
Menu: Icon: Short cut:
Saves the build data in a pixel based file format (BMP, PNG or TIFF).
To transfer the build data into a raster based RP process (3D printer) the slice data is saved into
single image files.
HINT: To call the raster image interface one of the formats BMP, TIFF or PNG has to be chosen
when saving the slice model.
Dialog BMP export ( resp. PNG-, TIFF export)
The dialog manages the format and look of the single slice images. Depending on the file format
(BMP, TIFF, PNG) the dialog gets a corresponding format specific page.
Image size
The image size is determined by the machine resolution (dpi) and the boundaries of the build
envelope resp. the boundaries of the build data.
Machine: The actual machine and the corresponding size of the build envelope (length and
width) is displayed. Using the button Change… the machine selection can be changed.
X-Resolution / Y-Resolution: The machine resolution can be modified here. Different resolutions
on the X- and Y- Axis are possible.
Adapt image size to build envelope: Choose this option to create an image of the whole build
envelope. The image size results from the size of the build envelope and the X- and Y-
resolution.
Adapt image size to part dimension: Choose this option to create an image of the area of the
build envelope that contains parts.
