Calculation method
Calculation method
Layers by band
For each matched band, round up band height / chosen layer height.
Total layers
Add all band layer counts.
Last layer by band (mm)
Shorten each band’s last layer to reach its boundary exactly; height − (count−1) × layer height.
Symbols and units
- a
- Band heights (mm)
- b
- Chosen layer heights (mm)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Layers are restarted at each supplied band boundary and the final layer may be shorter. A slicer can reject that short layer; this is a geometric schedule, not a generated printer file.
