Position Parts In The Virtual Build Volume; Modify Build And Part Parameter Values For The Print Job (Optional) - 3D Systems ProX SLS 6100 User Manual

Launch 3D Sprint:
1 . Choose Start > Programs > SLS System > 3D Sprint
Or launch from Sinter main menu
2.
3D Sprint starts with a display of empty virtual build volume .

Position Parts in the virtual build volume

While 3D Sprint can orient, place and nest your parts, using the Auto Place command on the Print tab to place part files auto-
matically on the printing platform in and optimize print time and area for the current printer .
You can also:
• Drag parts
• Position parts numerically
• Rotate parts
In time, you'll learn optimal placement and orientation strategies for the types of parts you build most often . Since this optimal
placement and orientation is material dependent you should refer to your Material Guide for more specific information.
"Parameters" are settings in a build packet that you can change . Parameter settings apply to parts or the entire build . You set
parameters in 3D Sprint's Part Profile Editor and Build Profile Editor dialog boxes . Parameters control most aspects of how a
part is built .

Modify Build and Part Parameter Values for the Print Job (optional)

3D Sprint and the ProX6100 are installed with configuration files containing default values for processing a variety of materials.
You may need to adjust these default parameter values slightly based on your application or desire to customize results . .
Build parameters control values that apply to the entire build, such as temperature setpoints and feed amounts .
Part parameters control values that apply to individual parts, such as Laser Power and can be set differently for each part .
You modify parameters values in the Part Profile Editor and Build Profile Editor dialogs
Modify Scale and Offset Values
Scale compensates for material shrinkage that occurs during processing . Offsets compensates for width of laser beam
You modify scale and offset values in the Scale & Offset Editor dialog
As with part placement, see Material Guides for more information about specifics for build, part and scale values. 3D Systems
supplies sample build packets which can be used for reference when getting started
