Web-Based Slicing (WASM)

Learn how to use client-side slicing for improved performance and real-time processing.

Web-Based Slicing (WASM)

Overview

NanoDLP’s web-based slicing feature utilizes WebAssembly (WASM) technology to perform slicing operations directly in the user’s browser. This provides significant performance improvements, especially on ARM-based devices, and enables real-time slicing with immediate feedback.

Benefits of Web-Based Slicing

Performance Improvements

  • Client-Side Processing: Offloads processing from the server to the client
  • Reduced Server Load: Server resources are freed for other operations
  • Parallel Processing: Multiple users can slice simultaneously
  • Real-Time Feedback: Immediate progress updates during slicing

Platform Optimization

  • ARM Device Support: Optimized performance for Raspberry Pi and similar devices
  • Browser Optimization: Leverages modern browser capabilities
  • Memory Efficiency: Better memory management for large files
  • Network Independence: Reduced dependency on network performance

How It Works

WebAssembly Technology

  • Compiled Code: High-performance compiled code running in the browser
  • Cross-Platform: Works on any device with a modern web browser
  • Native Speed: Near-native performance for complex operations
  • Memory Safety: Secure execution environment

Slicing Process

  1. File Upload: 3D model files are uploaded to the browser
  2. WASM Initialization: WebAssembly modules are loaded and initialized
  3. Geometry Processing: Model geometry is analyzed and processed
  4. Layer Generation: Individual layers are generated with full resolution
  5. Progress Tracking: Real-time progress updates are displayed
  6. Result Export: Sliced data is exported in various formats

Supported File Formats

Input Formats

  • STL Files: Standard stereolithography format
  • 3MF Files: 3D Manufacturing Format
  • OBJ Files: Wavefront Object format
  • SLC Files: Slice format
  • SVG Files: Scalable Vector Graphics

This web-based slicing system provides users with powerful, client-side processing capabilities while maintaining the high quality and feature-rich experience that NanoDLP is known for.
