Click Export from the Additive Prep ribbon to export the project files to a folder called Build Volume (with time-stamp) to a file location of your choice. Exported files include:
ansys_additive_print.zip — build file for Additive Print, if you generated a build file
baseplate.stl — only the baseplate geometry
build_job.scdoc — a SpaceClaim file containing everything in the Build Volume assembly
part.stl — all the part geometries in the Build Volume that are not suppressed, without their supports
support_vless.stl — all the volumeless supports, if any, that are not suppressed for all the parts
support_solid.stl — all the solid supports, if any, that are not suppressed for all the parts
print_file.slm — machine instruction file required to print the part(s) on SLM machines, if you generated a build file
Or partname.cli and partname_s.cli — machine instruction files required to print the part and volumeless support on EOS machines, if you generated a build file
Or the appropriate machine instruction files generated by the Build Processor from EOS or Renishaw, depending on your selected machine, if you generated a build file
The following figure shows example files from an Export with a build file generated for an SLM machine.
