Hey everyone, I'm PacManFan, and I've written some slicing and control software for UV DLP 3d printers. The software is getting fairly mature at this point, and dozens of people are using it to control their machines. I'm indirectly involved in 4 Kickstarter campaigns and an Indigogo, providing software support to groups that are designing 3d UV DLP hardware. The next release of the software will also include the ability to slice and control more conventional FDM/FFF machines as well. A few releases down the line, I will also include my 3d laser line scanner functionality, allowing you to scan/copy/print models from a single software package!
- Concerned that your favorite 3D model slicing software won’t work on your new resin-based 3D printer? There’s a solution for that. Envision Labs has stepped up to produce an independent 3D model slicer that is specifically designed to work with SLA/DLP-style 3D printers: Creation Workshop.

We'll start with how to configure your machine.
In this window, there are several sections used for configuring your specific machine. Below is described what each section is, corresponding to the colors on the image.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RED - This lets you add new machines, or delete ones.
ORANGE - Applies any changes you have made to the currently selected machine (in RED)
YELLOW - Defines your build size. The adjust button will allow you to fine tune your build size. If you print a model that is 20mmx20mm, and it comes out 19.2mmx19.7mm, this button will auto-calculate the adjusted build size to get your model to print out at 20mmx20mm.
GREEN - This is the port that connects to your controller. In the case of the LiteFab, it would be the port that the Arduino with GRBL installed is on.
Creation Workshop Manual
BLUE - This is just an informational window. It gives you the accuracy based on your projector resolution and your build size.
Creation Workshop Software
PURPLE - This lets you select which display you want to shine the picture is on. You will need to have your projector plugged in at this point, or it won't show up on the list. The current one listed is just my laptop screen currently. To remove parts, select the minus button. To pick your display, find it in the list, select it, and click the plus button. This will add it to the Configured Displays list.
Creation Workshop
PINK - This area is if you have a USB/Serial enabled projector. You can configure it here, so you can control the projector through the computer. Additionally, you can add a Mask here. The mask is a gray-scale image that adjusts the picture output of the projector, to create a more even light distribution. See link here on how you can make a Mask. This isn't required, its more just for enthusiasts.
Creation Workshop 3d
BROWN - This has a bunch of options that you can select for your printer, if you have them.
