Building process
At the start of the building process, the building platform is moved to its start
position and a bottom layer of plastic powder applied to the building platform. Then
the machine is warmed up.
Once the warm up phase is complete, the automatic building process starts.
By exposure using a computer-controlled laser beam, the plastic powder is solidified
to suit the calculated part geometry data. Then the building platform is lowered by
one layer thickness and a new layer of plastic powder applied. The plastic powder is
exposed again, the building platform lowered and plastic powder applied. This
process is repeated continuously to produce the part lying in the loose plastic
powder.
