Layers resolution changing

[JohnHue]

There are example of real world cases here :

Customizable Z resolution

now that we have different resolutions in supports and model , its possible have different resolutions in the model? just like slash 3d printer https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/644653534/slash-the-next-level-of-affordable-professional-3d/description sorry for my english!!

I completely agree that shrinkage difference would have to be dealt with, and this is for Formlabs to assess whether it is possible to deal with this in software or not, but for them to do that it helps that the community express a need for it

Other topics with the same suggestion :

Use different settings for different parts

Hi, I would like to be able to use different settings for different parts. this will help alot with open-mode material testing as well as print high res parts with low res parts. in addition to that, it would be nice to be able to use different layer thickness at pre-set heights

Variable Layer Height

Sometimes I have prints that look better being printed at .025 layer height due to curved features. However, parts of the model could be printed at a higher layer height. So what I’m suggesting is to allow in Preform a way to specify z height “zones”. Each zone has a user defined start and end z height, and can be any layer height for the given material. This would reduce the print time on areas that are less critical.

Variable Z Resolution on Same Part

Most parts have detailed areas and non detailed areas. It would be nice to specify z axis resolution for different print layers. This could significantly speed up a lot of prints and given better detail to the areas that require it. This is similar to another request someone made for having the initial base and support material print at a lower resolution than the rest of model. I second that motion but would also like an advanced setting where I can specify z resolution for different layers…

And the quote from Frew which I wrote about earlier :

@Frew

We have this partially incorporated in that support structures print more coarsely than the rest of the object. We’re looking into a few workflows, one of which would be a user configurable feature, and another that would make automatic judgements based on the delta between X/Y outlines on consecutive layers.
