An In-depth Guide to the New Vlare Interface

0 comments

In our latest Vlare release, we've revamped the “Vlare-style” interface to streamline your workflow.

We understand that this new interface might differ from what you're used to with Mango3D Lychee, Chitubox Slicer, or PrusaSlicer. Despite the changes, we're confident that this is a significant improvement over the previous version.

Introducing the New Vlare Interface

At the top of the interface, you'll find the following features:

Start
Prepare
Repair
Support
Measure
Setting

These features represent a natural workflow for any resin printer user, starting, appropriately, with 'Start'.

Start: File Management

This is where users can manage files by 'Open File'. Functions available here include:

Open File
Recent Files
New Scene
Scene Export
Section Export
Merge Export
Merge Export All
Example

Once a model is loaded, you can move on to 'Prepare'.

Prepare: Model Manipulation

In this section, you can manipulate the model’s position, hollow it out, drill holes, etc. Here are the available functions:

Mirror
Duplicate
On Plate
Separate
Hollow
Drill
Cutting
Emboss
Boolean
Arrange
Orientation
Moulding

Satisfied with your model's preparation? Then you can move on to 'Repair'.

Repair: Fixing Models

This section lets you repair the model’s bad meshes, close holes, etc. The functions available here are:

Repair Bad Edge
Repair Orientation
Remove Isolated Flat
Stitch Gap
Close Holes

Once the model's repair is completed, it's time to generate 'support' for the model.

Support: Model Support Generation

The support function is on the right side of our software interface. Here, users can generate automatic support, adjust support parameters, etc. For a complete explanation of the model support function, stay tuned for a detailed introduction in a later blog post.

Measure: Precise Measurements

When supporting the model, you may need to measure the distance between two points, or from a point to a plane, or between parallel planes. At this stage, you'll use the 'measurement' function. The functions available here are:

Collision Detection
Display Size
Two Point Distance
Point to Plane Distance
Parallel Plane Distance

Before or after starting, users usually check the 'Settings'.

Settings: Personalization and Software Information

Options such as language, model units, retrieval of old settings, and understanding of the current software version are all here. The functions available are:

Setting
Version Update
About
Feedback
Data Collection
