Very commendable, this would enable any CAD vendor to develop a direct
interface with your StereoLithography machine. I hope that the slicing
contours allows for spline data and not just point to point.
Is it possible for individual companies that use your StereoLithography
machines to develop their own build styles by having access to the open
architecture of the machines controls?
ie some companies could have developed their own improved QuickCast type of
build style without having to wait for the development of a commercially
robust software package.
I know an organisation like ourselves would benefit from a more flexible
approach to machine system development for new application research
projects.
Is there any CAD software that has a direct interface with Solid Imager?
Would it be possible that the STL manipulation package Magics RP be allowed
to output build files to the Solid Imager machines?
