Alternate preparation software

[peppinu]

We are using 3D Lightyear from 3D Systems to prepare files for building on a Viper.
Does anyone know if there is an alternate software for this?

Thanks

Considering it's a free tool provided with the system, you'll have to go 3rd party (and pay a premium). That software is nearly 20 years old!

Thanks Dan.
I understand that it has to be a third party and against a premium but does it exist?

If you are referring to a slicer software, we use simplify3D. It costs about 150USD .

Thanks Arunmrao, but this software seems that it is compatible only with 3D printers. I am looking for an sla slicer that can output 3DSystems' Viper compatible files: .BFF

Considering BFF files are proprietary (and ancient, as I mentioned earlier), it's probably not an easy task to find someone outside of 3D Systems that will work with them.
