I think it might be a little more complicated than a simple file format
issue. There are different overcure settings throughout the fine point
supports that the slc file format is incapable of supporting (in the
computer format sense). Last I spoke to someone at 3D on this issue they
were working on it, but that it was a hefty undertaking.

Thanks,

Dear RPML,
speaking of LightYear upgrades, when is 3D Systems going to provide
FinePoint
supports for its other proprietary SL file format .SLC ? This is the
optimal
format for medical prototyping from a volume of 2D scan slices. Seems odd
that
the developer of the format does not support it in its build preparation
software...
