Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about PowderFAB Studio.

What file formats does PowderFAB Studio support?

PowderFAB Studio supports direct ingestion of standard CAD STEP files (`.step`, `.stp`), stereolithography files (`.stl`), Wavefront objects (`.obj`), 3D Manufacturing format (`.3mf`), and GL Transmission format (`.glb`/`.gltf`). Models are converted locally on your machine using our high-performance geometry pipeline.

Are my CAD models uploaded to the cloud?

No. One of PowderFAB's core design principles is complete local privacy. All heavy geometric computations, slicing, and conformal lattice generation occur 100% locally on your machine. No design files ever leave your computer, ensuring complete intellectual property security.

What is the difference between the MSI Installer and the Portable ZIP?

The MSI Installer sets up PowderFAB Lattice Studio in your system directory, adds desktop shortcuts, registry entries, and registers the file types. The Portable ZIP package requires no installation; you can extract it to any directory (including a USB stick) and run the application directly by double-clicking the .exe.

Does PowderFAB support custom lattice cell shapes?

Yes. PowderFAB supports predefined TPMS (Triple Periodic Minimal Surface) structures like Gyroid, Schwarz P, and Diamond, custom TPMS via your own math equation, and strut-based topologies like BCC, FCC, and octet truss — with full control over gradients and pattern alignment.

Why does Windows warn me when I run the installer?

The beta installers aren't code-signed yet, so Microsoft SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" screen the first time you run them. This is Windows' standard caution for any new, unsigned file that hasn't built up a download reputation — it doesn't mean anything harmful was found. Click More info, then Run anyway to proceed. To confirm your download is authentic, your download email includes the file's SHA-256 checksum: run Get-FileHash on the downloaded file in PowerShell and check that the hashes match. Code signing is planned as the beta matures.

What are the system requirements?

PowderFAB runs on Windows 10 and 11. Mesh tessellation, lattice generation, and boolean operations all run on the CPU, so a modern multi-core processor matters more than graphics power — any GPU supporting WebGL 2.0, including integrated graphics (e.g. Intel UHD/Iris), is sufficient for the 3D viewport. At least 8 GB of system RAM is recommended.
