2. Start Your First Printing Job
2.1 Load 3D Models
To load one or more 3D models, you may either drag-and-drop onto the 3D viewer, click Load File
Button from the Main Tools, or double click on the file directly (if UNIZ Desktop+ is set as default
software to open such file format). Supported file formats: STL, OBJ, AMF, 3MF and UNIZ.
Tips: UNIZ file does not support multiple loads in parallel.
2.2 Select Object(s)
Click the left mouse button on an object to activate it for further operations. Click and drag the
pointer across objects to select multiple objects. The activated objects will turn blue once selected.
19
2.3 Change View
Viewing your model from preferred angle will benefit model positioning. To rotate the view, right
click and drag around the activated object. To pan, hold the shift key and click-drag with right
mouse or hold down the scroll wheel and move mouse around. To zoom in or out, use the scroll
wheel.
2.4 Change Position
Pressing the “Position” Button will open following sub menu.
• Once the Position tab is open, hold the left mouse
button on the object and move the mouse to move
the object freely in the X-Y plane. If the “Shift” key is
held down, the object will be moved up and down
along the Z-axis instead.
• The activated object can also be moved by inputting X/
Y/Z values in the field, press “Enter “to apply changes.
• Bring the active part in contact with platform.
• Use the “Centered” button to center active part on
platform.
• Use the “Duplicate” button to duplicate the active
part.
Tips:
Make sure the models are distributed evenly on build platform. Un-balanced forces on the
build platform may result in inferior precision or cracking of the printed parts. Once supports
are attached to a model, its Z-position cannot be modified.
2.5 Change Orientation
Press the “Rotation” Button on the main tools will open following sub menu.
• Once the Rotation tab is open, hold the left mouse
button on the object and move the mouse to freely
rotate the object.
• Rotate any model more precisely in one of the three
main axes by dragging one of the circular rings on the
manipulator.
• The activated object can also be rotated by inputting X/
Y/Z values in the field. Press “Enter” to apply changes.
UNIZ's orientation tools are relative not absolute, so
the X, Y, and Z rotation angles reset to 0 degrees after
applying a rotation.
• Press “To Align Bottom Plane” button to align the
selected plane to the bottom of build platform.
• Click the “Reset” Button to restore the activated object to the original status.
20
Tips:
Large Flat surfaces or Long Straight lines with supports may be printed at an oblique angle
of at least 10° to the build platform to increase the success rate. The forces during peeling
may distort thin layers of a flat surface or a line mounted on the support structures if printed
horizontally. If a planar surface or thin line is oriented at an oblique angle, there is only little
overhang for each new layer. Furthermore, thin-walled parts occupy significant less area in a
slice when printed at an oblique angle.
2.6 Change Size
Press the “Size” Button on the main tools will open following sub menu.
• Once the Size tab is open, the activated object can be
scaled freely by holding the left mouse button on the
object and moving the mouse.
• The activated object can also be scaled by inputting X/
Y/Z values in the field. Press ‘Enter’ to apply changes.
The object will scale uniformly in Uniform Scaling
mode. In Non-uniform Scaling mode the object will
scale independently for each axis without affecting the
other axes.
• If you prefer to scale to a fixed ratio put a value into the
scale box.
• Click the ‘Reset’ Button to restore the activated object
to the original size.
• Units: toggle between millimeters and inches.
Tips:
Changing an object’s size will break previously generated supports and you will need to redo
these.
21
2.7 Generate Supports
Some models need additional support structures to print successfully, especially those with
overhangs. Press the “Supports” Button on the main tools to open the Supports sub menu.
Once the Supports tab is open, supports can be added to the active object by pressing the
“Generate” button. Support parameters can be adjusted using spacing, Support Diameter, Head
Length, and Point Size sliders.
• Spacing defines the closest distance between two
adjacent supports.
• Support Diameter defines the diameter of the support
pillar.
• Head Length defines the length between the straight
support pillar and angled pillar to the object (point).
• Point Size defines the diameter of the support where it
touches the object.
• Internal Supports, checking this box will generate
supports inside the model to shore up overhangs.
Without internal supports, the overhangs may fail
during print.
• Connection, Long supports are unstable in structure. Click the connection check box to add
connection parts between long supports for increasing supports stability when generating
supports. The left picture below shows supports with connection and the right one shows
supports without connection. This box is checked by default. Foundation, Click the check box
to add Foundations when generating supports. The left picture below shows supports with
foundation and the right one shows supports without foundation
22
• This box is checked by default. The system will recalculate the foundation when the user
finishes and quit the function of editing supports manually.
• Support Angle, Supports will be generated when the angle between the model part surface
and the horizontal direction is smaller than the support angle, otherwise they will not be
generated. The bigger the support angle is, the wider the scope of generating support. Set this
value to prevent generating supports at steep places and to eliminate unnecessary supports.
You can manually set the angle ranging from 45°to 75°, and the default angle is 60°
• Tilt Angle, To ensure discontinuous exposure in part area under the UDP mode, supports need
to be tilted. Users can manually set the tilt angle ranging from 0°to 20°, and the default angle
is 0°.
23
The left picture below is vertical supports and the right is with tilted supports.
• “Lift”: lift the activated object from the build platform upwards by 5mm.
• “Down”: push the activated object down to the build platform.
• “Generate”: generate the support structure using the current settings for all selected models.
• “Edit”: allow the user to manually add, modify, or delete support structures.
• Entry/Exit Manual Edit
Press the “Edit” button, the system enters manual edit support mode. Even if the object is not
selected, you can edit supports manually. Click the “Edit” button again, the system will return to
automatic support mode.
Add Support
Trace the mouse cursor over the model, when your cursor appears as a green line, clicking on the
surface of the model will add a support. If the cursor appears as a red line, it means a support is
not needed.
Modify Support
Click on the surface of the support and, it will be highlighted to indicate that it has been selected.
Once selected, you can drag and drop the support to a target location. If the support turns red
while moving, the position of the support is not ideal and therefore it is not recommended.
You can also change the Support Radius, Header Length, or Point Size sliders to modify support
properties.
Delete Support
Once a support is selected simply press the “DELETE” key to remove it.
24
Tips:
The “Lift”, “Down”, “Generate” buttons are only enabled when a model is being selected.
2.8 Slice
Press the “Slice” Button on the main tool bar and it will open two sub menus, one on the left and
one on the right. The left menu is to start Slice and Show Slices, and the right drag bar and menu is
for customization of slice profile.
a. Slice Parameters
Slice parameters allow users to customize the slice parameters of each segment of a model.
After version 1.2.0 and the upper Desktop sets a separate slider at the third layer by default and
users cannot move this slider in the bar. The Exposure Time of the first three layers will be set
directly in the slice parameter interface rather than in the advanced settings.
Since 1.3.0 version, “Slice Parameters” has been adding “Preference”
and “LED Power”, accordingly “LED Power” will be removed from
“Advanced Settings”. Uniz Desktop will no longer memorize “Exposure
Time”, therefore “Restore” function be abolished. Users can
memorize favorite printing parameters by “Preference”.
25
• “Resin Type” provides different default values for different resin type.
• "Preference": Each resin can define multiple preference to memorize frequently-used printing
parameter, including: Layer Thickness, Exposure Time, Cool Down Time, Pixel Shrink, LED Power,
Motor Speed, Rise Height, Infill, UDP Mode. Right click on button, popup “Preference Editor”
dialog. In “Preference Editor”, click “Add” to create a new preference and click “Remove” to
delete the selected preference. Note: Preference values are obtained directly from the slice
parameters interface and there are not editable; Only the self-defined preference is deletable.
• “Thickness” is the layer thickness, which is related to Z resolution.
• “Exposure Time” is the exposure time of a layer in a particular segment segment, and it may
vary due to a different layer thickness setting or different resin types, i.e. zWax resin takes about
2x exposure time per layer compare to zABS.
• “Cool Down Time” is the time to cool down the exposed layer to protect the polymer film from
overheating. To prolong the lifetime of the resin tank film, it is recommended to keep the film
temperature under 50 degrees Celsius. Overheating the film can cause it to warp, delaminate
and break.
Tips: Avoid exposing the same spot or area over and over; try to orient the model’s walls or pillars in
oblique angle so the exposure area changes on subsequent layers.
Pressing the “Advanced” Button will open following sub menu.
• “Pixel Shrink”: Shrink or expand the slice polygons.
If value is zero do nothing; If positive shrink slice, if
negative, then expand. The unit is pixels.
• “LED Power” sets the power to the UV LEDS and will
have an impact on curing of the resin Power of LED
module. 150-250 is suggested.
• “Motor Speed” defines the speed of electric motor that
controls the peel motion of the platform.
• “Rise Height” defines the travel height of the peel
motion.
• “Infill”: drag the slider horizontally to modify the infill
ratio ranging from 0% to 100%. The model will be
:
hollowed but not filled when the ratio is 0%;
hollowed and filled by the ratio when the ratio is
among 10% to 90%;
filled but not hollowed when the ratio is 100%;
View the Advanced Settings for the hollowing wall thickness and infill type.
• “UDP” option will be added into the slice parameters when users choose the printers with UDP
function. Users need to check this box when printing UDP model. The Cool Down Time, the
26
Motor Speed and the Rise Height will apply the default value set by the software and they
cannot be modified by the users from the interface.
• “Pause” sets a pre-set pause at the layer of choice during printing, and the pause can be
resumed after pressing the Resume button in the printing control tab.
b. Customize Your Own Z Resolution
By Dividing the model the model into multiple segments and defining different slice parameters, Z
resolution customization can be used to balance print speed and surface quality.
Click the block on the slider bar to start customizing print parameters. The white line shows the
division layer of the two adjacent segments. The upper menu sets the properties of the segment
above the division, and the lower menu sets the properties of the lower segment. You may drag
the slider block to change the division location or double click on blank space on the slider bar to
add another division layer. Press the Delete key when dragging the slider block to erase the division
layer. The last division layer cannot be deleted.
Double click the selected slider and you get a text box. Type layer in the text box and then press
ENTER key to finish and close the editing.
Click the “+” Key to move the slider up one layer incrementally until it reaches the next slider or
the top layer of the model.
Click the “-” Key to move the slider down one layer incrementally until it reaches the next slider.
Notice:
The slider at the bottom (that marks the third layer) does not support operations by the +/button.
Click the “PageUp” Key to select the separate slider above.
Click the “PageDown” Key to select the separate slider below
c. Slice Tools
Click the “Slice” Button to slice all models on the build platform with the defined parameters. The
estimated print information will show in the status bar.
Estimated Time 00:12:40 Volume 17.20ml Layers 57
Click “Show Slices” Button to check any individual layer of the sliced model.
27
You can input a specific layer number in the top right to quickly move to that layer
Drag the right slider vertically to view each layer.
Click the Up/Down arrow to view the previous/next layer incrementally.
If Print When Finished is checked, the sliced data will be sent to the selected printer in the right
bar automatically. The printer still needs confirmation to print via the main button located at the
front of the printer.
Tips:
“Print When Finished” will only be enabled when a printer is connected, the corresponding
Printer Control Panel is open, and the printer is in ready status.
