Dear RP-ML:
Has anybody out there found a more efficient and user-friendly substitute
for Maestro?
We are running 60-70 hour builds (platform is full of parts) and having
trouble with some of the taller supports floating away - we try to review
and modify any questionable supports but in large builds this can chew up a
lot of time given the relatively poor graphical interface of Vista and View
(we found we have to use the "Custom Draw Supports" option often to get a
true idea of the support cross sections).
In reading information on Materialise's Magics RP, they say they can
generate supports and slice to the desired format. I assume this means you
obtain a .bff file you can run on a SLA? What's the price of Magics RP?
Any other recommended part positioning/support generating/slicing RP
software out there for stereolithography and what is the price per seat?
Any help would be appreciated.
