Export of Fabrication Data for Smooth Surfaces

Abstract

A good synergy between software design tools and the subsequent fabrication of components relies on the capability of the software to provide information about the designed structures which can be easily interpreted in the manufacturing process; in other words, being able to export the structure information in the data format used for fabrication. In this document, we demonstrate how to export the fabrication data of a smooth surface as an STL file and with other custom formats.

Export of Fabrication Data of a Holographic Optical Element (HOE)

VirtualLab Fusion can export quantized HOE structure into various file formats. It is possible to export the files by a pixelized or polygon approach.
