Functionality
If you are missing functionality which is not mentioned below, please let us know here.
Since this is very much an alpha version (or rather an alpha of an alpha version), all suggestions of any kind are more than welcome!
Currently the following functionality is implemented:
- Viewing all data from a .Photon file, including encapsulated sliced bitmaps, generic info, meta-info and preview images/thumbnails.
- Editing all numeric data of the Photon File. Databytes which are internally used (location of bitmaps etc) are shown but readonly.
- Importing images in an existing or new/blank Photon File. You can use other slicer software or for instance other 3d software like Povray to generate them.
- These images must be png-files with resolution of 1440x2560 and preferably monochrome.
- They should be named in order (e.g. with slice number in the filename).
- Layer specific parameters like layer height, bottom exposure time and off time are filled using the general parameter of your photon file.
- Saving to a .Photon file.
- Exporting images to a directory, where a subdirectory will be created with the name of the photonfile and all images will be placed therein with the slice number as filename.
The following functionality will be implemented soon:
- More polished GUI
- 3D view of bitmap data
- Setting default values of existing Photon files depending on resin brand/type
- Allow to image range as multiple exposures (to be able to print 2 files with different exposures at the same time (user would have to supply a image with the 2 models and one with only 1)
- Using the Gerber-to-photon interpreter tool from @Reonarudo (internally or externally)
