I re read your last post and see that you also talk aout gcode. Now gcode is what is going to be exported by your slicer application not by Zbrush or solidworks. Since you are using a fusion 3 I’m going to assume you are using Simplify3D which is the slicer that comes with all the fusion3design printers, and also the slicer I use in my pipeline. So, I’m going to give you a brief overview of how I finish my workflow for the actual print.
After I export the model from solidworks, import it into zbrush (which I explained in my last post) and finish all the sculpting I need, I procced to export the stl file to import into simplify3D. In zbrush:
Zplugin >3dprint exporter
It’s important to hit the button to update the size ratios. First you must choose in what units you would like to export your model either inch or mm. Since stl format is a dimensionless format this will come into play when you import into simplify 3d. By default, everything imported into simplify 3d is in mm so I would suggest you export in mm.
Once you hit update size ratios you can see the values of X,Y and Z axis. These values correspond to the biggest dimensions on the corresponding axis on your model. Scaling in zbrush is a whole other topic so I’m just gona say; you can change the scale with the sliders if you’d like to tweak it or you can look into the caliper masters plugin which is what I use and has helped me in my pipeline.
After you’ve updated your size ratios you got to tell zbrush what subtools you want to export. All subtools, visible subtools or selected subtool. Just remember if you select visible subtool the little eye at the far right of your subtool under the subtool palette must be visible (at least I think it must :p).
Finally, you can choose in what format you would like to export by choosing the corresponding button, STL, VRLM or OBJ. Just remember that simplify3D accepts STL and OBJ. I normally use STL.
Ok so now you’ve successfully exported your model from zbrush now for the simplify 3d side of things.
In simplify 3d:
Import your stl model chossing the import button, then add a process to print that model by choosing the add button under the processes section. In the process settings make sure you have your printer selected under the select profile tab. Which in your case if you are using a Fusion3 is either the Fusion3 F306 single (for single extruder), Fusion3 F306 double (for double extruder), or the new Fusion3 F400 3d printer.
Once the process in in place just hit the prepare to print button. After this a preview of how your model will be printed is shown. Verify everything is ok and choose the save toolpath to disc button and save the gcode file to your sd card. THIS is the gcode file your printer is going to read. Plug it in to your printer y terminamos! You should be good to go to print it.
