Reducing minimum first layer height

nappy · December 5, 2024, 17:26

Hello!

I am using ANSA v25.0.1 and I want to create the prism layers with a first layer height of 0.001 mm.

It seems that the extra fine tolerance is limited to 0.0032 mm. Is there any way to reduce that value?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi,

Maybe a workaround would be to use scaling when you output your mesh? So you make your mesh with 1 mm layers and then export with a scaling?

Just a thought,
Tom

Hello!

I appreciate a lot your answer! I think that it could work, it has sense in my mind, but I know that it can be done. In the v24 I was able to perform meshes with a first layer of 0.001 mm.

Thanks!

Hello again!

I found the solution and I want to share it with the ANSA forum.

To be able to start growing with a first layer height of 0.001 mm, option "Minimum first layer height" should be deactivated.
