3D Printer Description File Format Specification Version 1.0 draft 3 Adobe Systems Incorporated Introduction 3D printer profile files (3PP files) are XML files that provide a uniform approach to describing the diverse features of devices that do 3D printing. Often these printers are ultimately driven by G-code or M-code interpreters, although that is not a necessary prerequisite. Such features include different area/volume sizes, different methods of material/filament handling, memory size, and other features to be outlined. All devices do not have the same set of features, and even devices with the same features do not necessarily invoke those features in the same way. 3PP files provide applications with the necessary information about a device’s features that are required to make a successful print. Structure There are 3 main sections of the 3PP file. The first is the “Printer” section which describes the printer itself. The printer section contains two subsections for Quality and Supports. The second section is the “Materials” section. This section contains information about each material the printer supports. While some printers may support only one kind of material; others can support hundreds. Each material may behave differently when printed such as melting points, minimum thickness, and more. This section also allows you to define the preview colors for these materials, to better differentiate them in the Photoshop UI. The third section is PrintPlateLevelling which describes the bed/plate levelling controls, head positions to test, and the order in which the user should test them. This section has two subsections for Rivets and Checkpoints. ?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8” standalone=”no”? Printer ...
