We use Materialise to produce SLC files for use with our Sanders MM2 and
MM6-PRO.
The ModelWorks software readily accepts the slice data and it
processes considerable faster than working on the STL file directly.
We have noticed a considerable gain in processing speed working with the SLC
files
especially if he models have a large amount of vectors and loops.
The speed gain is hard to quantify due to the variance of the models,but
best guess would
be least 30 to 50 percent faster.
