7 Slicing Software Overview
For your printer to convert a digital model into a physical object, a
process known as slicing needs to be performed. A model is printed
layer-by-layer, and stacked on top of the previous layer until the final
layers are printed. Slicing is the process of breaking (slicing) a model into
these layers that the printer can use to create the actual model. The
software will create image files and machine instructions for each layer
and creates a file the printer can then use. You load a .stl or .obj file,
adjust the settings in the slicer, and export a sliced file in .jxs or .ctb.
The printer will use the .jxs or .ctb to print. Transfer the sliced file from
the computer to the printer with a USB drive.
Detailed Slicer instructions are on the USB and should be read
thoroughly to understand the slicing process.
Note:
In order to avoid the situation that the slicing file is corrupted and causes
the printing to stop automatically halfway through.
Please copy the slicing file to the USB drive after the slicing software
finishes slicing and prompts success.
Please export the slice file to the computer disk first, and then copy it
