Compare crystal engraving workflows with measurable output facts
GenMake and Lumepoint are focused crystal-production products with specialist formats, public pricing, guides, and output evidence. Reticle Red Crystal Fabricator sits inside a broader fabrication workspace and exposes the production values an operator needs to check before export.
Set 1–500 mm physical dimensions, safety margins, and requested point spacing
See applied spacing and live point count, with generation capped at 500,000 points for stability
Export millimeter-scaled XYZ, binary PLY, or vertex-only STL for SSLE, BSL, RK-CAD, and SeaCAD-oriented workflows

Crystal export acceptance check
-
1. Match the blank
Enter the real crystal dimensions and retain a safe internal margin around all faces.
-
2. Review density
Check requested versus applied spacing and the live point count before export.
-
3. Test the import
Open the XYZ, PLY, or vertex-STL in the exact controller version and confirm millimeter scale, axes, and clipping.
-
4. Prove the machine result
Run a representative sample in matching crystal before committing a customer blank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which formats does Reticle Red Crystal Fabricator export?
It exports raw ASCII XYZ coordinates in millimeters, binary PLY point clouds, and vertex-only STL at a 1:1 millimeter scale. The interface names SSLE, BSL, RK-CAD, and SeaCAD-oriented workflows; always verify import behavior on the exact controller version.
How many points can Crystal Fabricator generate?
The interface shows the live point count and caps generation at 500,000 points. If the requested dimensions and spacing would exceed that ceiling, it applies a coarser effective spacing and shows the adjusted value instead of silently misreporting the output.
Does the preview prove the finished crystal result?
No. It proves the software-generated point-cloud preview and export contract. It does not prove a specific machine, crystal blank, optical result, cycle time, or independently attributable customer outcome.
How should I validate a crystal file before production?
Import a representative file into the exact machine software, confirm units and orientation, inspect point density and clipping, then run a small test in matching crystal before committing a customer blank.
Production checks before export
Use the workflow on a representative sample before committing customer material. Confirm the finished dimensions, smallest line weight, layer assignments, focus, and machine parameters in the software that will run the job. A short test on matching scrap catches scale, contrast, kerf, and material-finish differences while they are still inexpensive to correct.
