FastLayer Edition confirmed during setup: features, system requirements & setup
Build preparation software for metal additive manufacturing and dental production.
Guide updated · Independent software support
Installation and consultation available after licence and compatibility checks
What is FastLayer used for?
Build preparation software for metal additive manufacturing and dental production. Dental laboratories and production teams preparing compatible metal 3D printing jobs.
Review the printer, metal material, build preparation and approved process parameters together.
FastLayer features and edition differences
- Model import, geometry processing, support design and slicing.
- Process-parameter configuration and build-file generation.
Prepare models, supports and machine-ready build files in one metal-printing workflow.
Licensed modules and packages
Machine and material parameter packages must match the licensed software and printer configuration.
FastLayer hardware and system requirements
The exact FastLayer release and licensed modules need a supplier-confirmed workstation specification.
| Component | Minimum or required check | Recommendation or preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system / CPU | Confirm supported OS build and CPU architecture | Request the release-specific workstation table |
| RAM / GPU | No current numeric minimum verified in this guide | Confirm memory, VRAM and graphics API for the intended workflow |
| Storage | Installer size is separate from project capacity | Allow room for case files, exports and a tested backup |
| Connected equipment | Review the printer, metal material, build preparation and approved process parameters together. | Confirm model, drivers and licensed interfaces before installation |
Do not buy a workstation from a generic CAD/CAM specification alone. Older manuals or another product in the same family may not apply to this edition.
Manufacturer requirements can change. Minimum specifications are not a performance guarantee for large cases, multiple applications or connected equipment. SSD storage and a tested backup are our preparation advice unless stated in the manufacturer guidance.
Compare requirements across the software cataloguePrepare for FastLayer installation
Specify metal printer, build volume and accepted export; confirm support generation, slicing entitlement and machine/material parameter responsibility.
- Record your exact release, licensed modules and intended workflow.
- Share your OS build, CPU, RAM, GPU/VRAM and free disk space for a workstation check.
- A valid manufacturer licence and the required module entitlement are needed. The displayed price covers installation and workflow consultation; software licences are purchased separately.
- Back up case files, settings and libraries; agree a recovery plan before an upgrade.
- Confirm import/export and connected-equipment tests with a representative case before production.
Service price and licence costs
View the current consultation and installation fee in the service panel. Manufacturer licences, subscriptions, export credits, and optional modules are separate unless explicitly included in your confirmed quotation. The service fee is per workstation; scope is agreed before work starts.
