Header

class pyslm.geometry.Header

Bases: object

The Header provides basic information about the machine build file, such as the name of the file (filename), version and the zUnit used for calculating the actual Layer z position in the machine.

Typically, the zUnit is set to 1000 \(\mu m\) corresponding to a conversion factor from mm to microns. The version tuple is set corresponding to the chosen machine build format specification available in libSLM and what is compatible with the firmware of the SLM system.
