Launching area
• Selection of the Sart/End cycles:
• Start of cycle : executes actions of the “Start
cycle” sequence (i.e gas regulation, clamping
ON...).
• End of cycle : executes actions of the “End
cycle” sequence (i.e recycling ON, clamping
OFF...).
• Selection of the Layering/Sintering process:
• Sintering : activates sintering for the selected cycle.
• Layering : activates layering for the selected cycle.
• Selection of the layers:
• Layer “_start_“ to “_end_“ : The numbers of the rst and last layer must be indicated. Click on the corresponding
eld to complete them (a numeric keypad will display).
• The button “+1” increases the _start_ layer by one and duplicate this value for the _end_ layer (useful when
producing the rst layers step-by-step). The button “ …]” increases the _start_ layer by one, and automatically ll
the _end_ layer with the Maximum layer value.
• The button “Aiming” sets the laser in no-power mode : the laser will sinter (without power) with a red beam.
• The button
allows user to start the job (according to the selections Start/End cycle and Layering/Sintering). When
activated, the conrmation window appear :
Click on Validate to conrm, or Quit to cancel.
Delay start function
The delay start function offers the possibility to start the selected cycles at a specic time. If selected, the user can program
