Preparing parts with Magics RP
Overview
In this training manual only the steps in Magics RP necessary for the processing in
the PSW are described:
➢ Setting up or selecting scene (machine platform)
➢ Build Processor option: Selecting and setting up 3D printer
➢ Importing parts
➢ Repairing parts
➢ Orientating parts
➢ Positioning parts
➢ Generating sinter box if necessary
➢ Reducing triangles if necessary
➢ Saving parts.
➢ Build Processor option: Slicing parts.
Setting up machine in Magics RP
First the machine type with which the parts are to be built must be selected as the
platform in Magics RP, or if it does not yet exist in the software application, loaded
from the machine library. In this way the machine-specific data, e. g. the building
height, width and depth (exchangeable frame) are represented in Magics RP so that
the parts can be accurately imported, processed and positioned.
If RP software other than Magics is used for data preparation, the
transformation into layer data is undertaken using the software EOS RP-Tools.
See Operation manual EOS RP-Tools.
For more advanced data processing using Magics RP please see the Magics RP
documentation.
