Ola:
The general Lightyear style files can be found at http:/www.3dsystems.com
under "customer service", "Product Support", "SLA Series", "Software
documents". These are executable style and recoat files for your machine.
As for how much you can edit these files to your liking, my experience is
"it is not even close" to adequate to make new, efficient style files.
You'll need 3D Systems customer support to make the changes you need.
Don't get me started. Good luck.

Dear list,
I know that the 3D lightyear software has been discussed a lot lately and
this questions might have been answered already but I can't find it. We have
just installed 3D lightyear and only have the default build style files
which doesn't allow us to change all the parameters that we want. I
contacted 3D systems and they told me that other build style files are
available on the net but I can't find them. We are using an SLA 250 and
would like to change the layer thickness, overcure and some other
parameters. Does anyone know were these files can be downloaded from?
Last night we had a demonstration of the Solidworks software which seems
pretty good and powerful to me. I would like to know what the users out
there think about it. It is powerful enough for advanced 3D solid modeling,
like ProE, or does it lack some important features. What is the quality of
the stl-files produced by this software and so on. Any comments are
appreciated.
Ola Harrysson.
