Steps to Create a Job

1. Import Models:

  • Drag and drop models (e.g., partial frames, crowns, and bridges) into the software.

  • Adjust the orientation of partial frames using the rotation widget.

 

2. Label Models (optional):

  • Add labels (e.g., engraving, extrusion, or tags) using the Labeling Module.
  • Export the labels to the main building area.

 

3. Position Models:

  • Use the nesting feature for automatic placement or position models manually for a dens nesting result.
  • Maintain a 4mm distance from the building platform and ensure proper spacing.

 

4. Generate Supports:

  • Open the Support Editor, select rod or lattice structures, and choose a support template.
  • Generate supports and export them to the building platform.

 

5. Apply Printing Strategy:

  • Attach a printing strategy to models and supports (e.g., cobalt chrome templates).

 

6. Slice and Export G-Code:

  • Start slicing to calculate the laser path.
  • Generate and save the G-Code along with the project report (PDF).
