Z Corp. System Software

When importing WRL (VRML) files you will be

asked to input mesh resolution and texture

threshold settings.

Mesh resolution is the number of facets in a

graphic primitive. A graphic primitive is

composed of elements that are made up of

cones, cylinders, and spheres as opposed to

triangles. The default is set at ‘40’. Setting the

number higher will increase the number of

facets making your file larger; lowering this

number will reduce the number of facets.

Texture threshold pertains to scan data, FEA

files and other files that contain texture maps. A

value of ‘0’ will render every color. Thus,

producing a large file. Increasing the number will

produce coarser rendering.

After the software has read the file, it will ask

you to choose units. A dialog box will prompt

you to choose units (inches, millimeters,

centimeters, or meters.) The System Software

will select as a default the largest unit that will fit

the part into the print area. VRML files will

always import in meters. You may also select

the powder type.

After you select the units, the System Software

will place the object into the build area in the

way that will minimize print time if you have

chosen this option under the ‘Preferences’

menu.

You may import multiple files into a single

build—each subsequent file will be placed within

the build area such that the objects will not

overlap. To insert additional files, choose

‘Import’ under the File menu. You may import

stl, ply, zcp, sfx, or wrl files.

If the model has many facets, the fast rendering

option will be offered if you have selected this

option under the ‘Preferences’ menu. This may

also be selected later under the ‘View’ menu.
