art preparation for Rapid Technologies

VisCAM RP is the overall software package for the complete preparation of your CAD/CAM data for any Rapid Prototyping application. VisCAM RP assists you in all processing steps from the verification and repair of the CAD/CAM data, the efficient preparation and assembly of build jobs up to the generation of build-ready slice files including hatches and support structures.

VisCAM RP is not only limited to process STL files, but also offers the integrated generation, visualisation and processing of slice files. The unrivalled number of interfaces and supported file formats enables you to generate build data for nearly all available RP machines. The flexible system concept together with the full control of your model and build data at any time makes VisCAM RP the optimal software solution for your RP data preparation.

VisCAM RP contains the VisCAM Mesh software package for efficient visualisation, repair and manipulation of STL files. Accordingly, all VisCAM Mesh modules are also available as optional modules for VisCAM RP.
Preparing STL files with VisCAM RP
View
Fast visualisation and analysis of STL files



* import of STL, 3DS, VRML, DXF, PLY, ZPR and VFX files
* show problematic edges, holes, triangles and solids
* cross-section display for internal model inspection
* visual measuring and annotation of the model
* calculation of dimensions, volume, surface area

Repair
Comprehensive fixing and optimisation of STL files



* automatic matching of unconnected triangle edges
* automatic filling of holes, gaps and missing surfaces
* detect and resolve triangle intersections and overlaps
* unify overlapping solids, adjust flipped triangles
* accurate reduction, smoothing or filtering of triangles
* cut and split the model along defined section planes

Edit
Direct manipulation and editing of STL files



* editing of solids, surfaces, triangles and colouring
* boolean operations, offset and extrusion functions
* attach text, logos or bitmaps and create base solids
* align and reposition of solids in relation to each other
* trim, cut and punch meshes with definable polylines
* calculation and generation of error-free hollow models
