Editable parameters
● Mixer speed: The rotation speed of the mixer. If activated, it is on during the whole process. This
is intended only to help the mixer discharge, so it is not the parameter to change for performing a
mixing operation.
● Front platform offset: The last movement of the front feeding platform during the refilling operation.
It moves down the powder that remains inside the refiller.
● Rear platform offset: The last movement of the rear feeding platform during the refilling operation. It
moves down the powder that remains inside the refiller.
● Platform speed: The velocity of the feeding platform during the refilling operation. Higher platform
speed will imply less vibration time of the powder inside the refiller. This may lead to less powder
compaction. If the platform speed is decreased or increased, the Slow dosing/Fast dosing process
parameters should be adjusted accordingly.
● Slow dosing: The dispensing frequency when low mass flow is required in the compaction and
leveling operations. The parameter itself represents the time between each 180° rotation of the
rotary valve.
● Fast dosing: The dispensing frequency when high mass flow is required in the initial filling of the
refiller. The parameter itself represents the time between each 180° rotation of the rotary valve.
● Leveling time: The target time in the leveling operation to ensure that powder is correctly leveled in
the build-unit feeding platforms.
● Rotatory direction change time: The time between the rotation-direction changes of the refiller
motor. Changing it may improve the results of the leveling operation.
● Refiller vibration time: The vibration time of the refiller required to clean it.
