Field notes

The workflow can split files containing multiple bodies into separate parts, each with its own named lay-up. Users can set resin ratios by weight or volume, add process-specific presets and waste, and print a sheet with per-part lay-up details. The page says calculations stay in the browser. It also cautions that closed solids provide the most accurate volume, while open surfaces require a user-set thickness.
