When you have finished editing the greyscale height maps and gloss layers using the 3D Designer Window, you are ready to export the data to either a 3D printer, or an engraving Mac®hine. This article explains how you do this.
How you export the layers does depend on how the output device requires them. Normally, you need to export each layer separately.
- Activate the height map and gloss layers in the Layers Palette.
- Go to Layer Menu > Save Selected Layers Separately.
- Save the layers in TIFF format. A separate file will be saved for each active layer.
Delete
Note: The settings you select in the TIFF dialog box which opens when you save the file depends on the settings the output device requires.
- Send the files to the output device using your network or an external hard drive.
