Glossary
3DManageTM File Preparation Software
Software used to verify STL files, orient parts, select build style parameters, generate supports, and
create the files that are used for building on the SLA Center.
3Dverify software
A function in
3DManage File Preparation Software
that verifies and fixes STL files.
Acoustical Optical Modulator (AOM)
An electronic device which diffracts laser light to interrupt the laser beam as an on/off switch.
Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC)
Converts an analog signal to a digital signal.
Beam profile
A pattern of circles or numbers representing the spatial distribution of laser beam power. This power
distribution automatically calculates drawing speeds to determine whether the laser should be
adjusted or replaced, and to indicate whether the optics should be adjusted, replaced, or cleaned.
Beam profiler
A UV-sensitive detector over which the laser beam is moved to generate beam profiles. Two beam
profilers are mounted in the process chamber.
