Tips to open SLC file
Can't open the SLC file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open SLC files as well as a list of programs that support SLC files.
SLC file extension
The SLC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SLC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SLC file on each system platform.
What is SLC file?
The file in the SLC format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. 3D Systems SLiCe Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is 3D Object Converter. This was created by 3D Object Converter Team.
How to open SLC file?
The most common problem when using 3D Systems SLiCe Format is that a specific SLC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SLC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install 3D Object Converter
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3D Object Converter program installed. To do this, enter the name 3D Object Converter into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SLC with 3D Object Converter. Below is a list of programs that support the file SLC.
Programs to open SLC file
Remember to download programs supporting SLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3D Object Converter with SLC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLC file still does not use the 3D Object Converter program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SLC file with the 3D Object Converter program.
Step 3. Update 3D Object Converter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 3D Object Converter program, it is possible that 3D Systems SLiCe Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the 3D Object Converter Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SLC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLC or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SLC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLC files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SLC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SLC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SLC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SLC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
