Extensions
Extensions add optional features on top of the core format. A file lists the
ones it needs in requiredextensions.
Which ones will I see?
Two, in most hobby files. Materials carries colours. Production splits objects into separate files, and every Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer file uses it.
What are the nine extensions?
| Extension | Adds |
|---|---|
| Materials | Colours, textures, per-triangle materials |
| Production | Objects split across files |
| Slice | Pre-sliced layers |
| Beam lattice | Lattices built from beams |
| Boolean operations | Union, difference and intersection |
| Displacement | Surface texture from a map |
| Secure content | Encrypted parts |
| Volumetric | Properties inside a solid |
| Implicit | Shapes defined by formulas |
Where do I see them in preslice?
The Content tab shows a section for each extension the file uses.
