Building Close To The Platform Borders - 3D Systems DMP Flex 350 User Manual

4.4.8 Building Close to the Platform Borders
DMP Control shows the preferred calibrated build area with the light colored contour. Attempting to print outside of this area
will have a significant influence on the accuracy. Optically, you will not damage the machine or the part as long as you stay away
from the 4 corners.
Caution: Do not scan on the build module. The scanner zero point is not always in the center of the build
platform.
To verify that your part is not outside of the platform, you can 'test' the location by manually pointing the scanner to the test
location.
1. Switch on the red laser diode/pointer to see the location of the spot.
2. Select Machine > Laser > check 'Show laser diode'
3. From DMP Control, select Machine > Scanner > Direct scanner control.
4. Move the scanner to the requested 'test' location and verify it is inside the build plate.
5. If the spot is not inside the build plate, shift your part in DMP Control to match the real position.
