Erode and dilate reduce or expand the volume of an object by scaling the coordinates.
Advantages of this feature
Sometimes when printing without a raft, you may notice the elephant’s foot. This means the first layer is slightly larger than the rest due to a higher cure time.
While printing objects for practical applications, it can pose a large problem due to physical properties of resin such as shrinkage after it becomes solid. By using this feature, you can resolve the issue.
Keep in mind the positive value represents the Dilate Areas and Erode Areas is defined by negative value.

NanoDLP Software for SLS 3D Printers
One of the less known aspect of the NanoDLP is the ability to control both SLS and Laser SLA 3d printers. SLS is type of 3D printers create shapes by using laser to heat powders. Compare to SLA (Resin) printers quality is lower but additional support structure is not needed and high-end SLS machines use […]
