Joel:
I "fooled" the 3D Systems' workstation into creating an SLA-250 build file (your
estimator's standard input) for my SLA-500 builds. I forgot how HUGE the SLA-250's .v
file is versus the .bff file for the SLA-500.
I plugged the data into your build estimator and was within 1 hour of actual for a 20
hour build w/6 individual pieces, and a 24 hour build of 2 individual pieces. The former
estimated 1 hour high while the latter estimated 1 hour low. Each build had several
recoater ranges with single and multiple sweeps for trapped volumes.
I'm certain some error in my results occur while converting recoating time (sweep speed,
Z-Stage speed) from SLA500 units to SLA250 equivalents.
If I have time, I'll slice a highchair seat to get a read on the results of an 18" tall
build!
GREAT JOB. I'M IMPRESSED!!
