Documenting building process using the PSW
The building process is documented automatically in a report database. The data
should be archived so they are immediately available in case of an error. The
database contains the following data:
➢ Building process data
- Sequence of layers in the building process over time
- Part exposure times
- Exposure parameters for the parts
- Recoating parameters for the parts
- Building area temperature and heating power during the recoating
- Parts in the job
➢ Event log
- Errors and interruptions during the building process
- Warnings
- User interaction
- Software modules with which the building process was performed.
The contents of the EOSTATE database can be displayed and evaluated using the
software EOSTATE.
➢ Backup copy of job
At the start of the job a backup copy of the job is saved with the file name <file
name>.eosjob.bak in the directory JobReports.
