Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about PowderFAB Studio.

What file formats does PowderFAB Studio support?

PowderFAB Studio supports direct ingestion of standard CAD STEP files (`.step`, `.stp`), stereolithography files (`.stl`), Wavefront objects (`.obj`), 3D Manufacturing format (`.3mf`), and GL Transmission format (`.glb`/`.gltf`). Models are converted locally on your GPU using our high-performance geometry pipeline.

Are my CAD models uploaded to the cloud?

No. One of PowderFAB's core design principles is complete local privacy. All heavy geometric computations, slicing, and conformal lattice generation occur 100% locally on your machine. No design files ever leave your computer, ensuring complete intellectual property security.

What is the difference between the MSI Installer and the Portable ZIP?

The **MSI Installer** sets up PowderFAB Lattice Studio in your system directory, adds desktop shortcuts, registry entries, and registers the file types. The **Portable ZIP** package requires no installation; you can extract it to any directory (including a USB stick) and run the application directly by clicking `run.bat`.

Does PowderFAB support custom lattice cell shapes?

Yes. The Conformal Lattice Studio supports predefined TPMS (Triple Periodic Minimal Surface) structures like Gyroid, Schwarz P, and Diamond, and also allows advanced users to import voxel files and custom mathematical equations to generate specialized infills.

What are the system requirements?

PowderFAB runs on Windows 10 and 11. It requires a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 580 or better) supporting WebGL 2.0 / DirectX 12, at least 8 GB of system RAM, and a modern multi-core CPU to handle mesh tessellation tasks smoothly.
