Exposure parameters per slice stack, available for printjob file generation during export
Slice properties are individual parameters like laser power that are written into printjob files. In machine-specific slicing, toolpath generation, and printjob file export, these parameters are set through the build configurations. Slice stacks generated through the Slicing sections, however, have no exposure instructions initially. They are purely geometric instructions about drawing lines and polygons, and their properties are defined separately.
Note: Slice properties apply to all traces, hatches or contours alike, across all layers of a stack. It is not possible to have any parameters change value mid-stack, mid-layer, or even mid-trace. In particular,
importing a slice file that contains such intra-stack, intra-layer, or intra-trace variation generates separate stacks, one for each distinct parameter combination, destroying the original single-stack nature.
