Slice is the final step before exporting a printable file.

Click the Slice Mode button at the bottom, choose Single Parameter Slice or Multi-parameter Slice, and then click the slice button to enter slicing preview.

Single Parameter Slice

Single Parameter Slice uses the configuration file selected from the Configuration List to slice all models on the print platform.

Multi-parameter Slice

Multi-parameter Slice is an advanced slicing option, allowing you to set different print parameters for different models, heights or different cross-sectional areas, to achieve more accurate control and higher print qualities.

NOTE

Currently only CTB files support multi-parameter slice.

Model

Different model object uses different print parameters.

  1. Models without specified profiles will be sliced according to the profile set by the Default Configuration File.

  2. Changes to profiles with the same name in the same printer environment will be synchronized.

  3. When editing differential parameters, Items cannot be edited (marked by *) and other non-displayed printing parameters will follow the default profile.

Height

Layers at different heights use different printing parameters.

  1. Height sections without specified Profiles comply with the Profile use the Default Profile.

  2. Parameters for bottom layers and transition layers follow the Default Profile.

  3. When editing differential parameters, Items cannot be edited (marked by *) and other non-displayed printing parameters will follow the default profile.

Cross-sectional Area

Different cross-sectional areas use different parameters. The percentage refers to the the cross-section relative to the total effective area of the platform.

  1. Sections without specified Profile use the Default Profile.

  2. Parameters for bottom layers and transition layers follow the Default Profile.

  3. When editing differential parameters, Items cannot be edited (marked by *) and other non-displayed printing parameters will follow the default profile.

  4. In the Cross-sectional Area mode, intervals are determined by the cross section areas. So a profile may be used by several intervals, as shown below:

Bottom Layers and Transition Layers only apply to the lowest sections.
