Purpose
Translate photopolymerization simulation outputs into machine-aware layer plans and printer instructions that can be checked before fabrication.
Photopolymerization / build preparation / G-code
Stratum
Stratum is a build-preparation and G-code generation toolkit for DLP and SLA photopolymerization printers, tuned to consume volumetric exposure plans exported from Torrentem simulations.
- Status
- Prototype toolchain
- Core tasks
- Slicing, exposure planning, lift trajectory optimization
- Machines
- DLP and SLA resin printers
Methods and Tools
- Layer slicing from simulated exposure plans.
- G-code generation for DLP and SLA resin-printer workflows.
- Build profiles that account for exposure, lift motion, and printer constraints.
Current Limitations
The toolchain is prototype-stage and depends on calibration data, printer-specific assumptions, and the current Torrentem photopolymerization output format.
Related Tools
Stratum sits downstream of Torrentem's additive-manufacturing simulations and is intended to connect numerical exposure studies with practical build preparation.
