I have been searching on the forum and I couldn't find this.
Is there a way or formula to have different curing times in different areas of the same slice?
The purpose of this it's because... We have a way to set a curing time depending on total area of each slice... But what if the slice it's made of different areas with different sizes... Each area should expose different.
For example... You have a slice composed of a big area and another zone with a very small area... The screen/projector should start projecting all the slice but at certain time... The big area should turn off while the small area remains more time exposing.
It's that even possible? I think that should be the perfect way to expose in 3d printing.

You can use dimming for the similar effect.

Similar but not same. I guess it's not possible yet to do that with nanodlp?

Ok. I didnt understand how pixel dimming worked. Now after I read some more about. I think that should do almost the same effect.
Thanks

I was wondering about this same thing,- and only found this thread.
I don't think pixel dimming would help much for the case of: a few .5mm diameter columns and a large 40mm square in the same layer.
Some sort of dynamic masking based on fractions of layer time that are darker over larger areas when dynamically curing based on the smallest feature area. Otherwise it would change the results of everything with pixel dimming, right?
Would be helpful for jewelry and some of the mechanical parts that I end up printing. Though I don't know how feasible that is.

You can use pixel dimming to darken larger area but it would not be dynamic I mean you can use it with only single darken value for large pieces.

Ah,
I did what Dr.teeth did. I just did a test and pixel dimming solves the issue well. It didn't click for me until a did it. I was just making the issue more complicated than it needed to be.
Sorry about that!
Thanks
