.
A . Front doors and glove doors
The operator accesses the inside of the manufacturing chamber through the two glove ports located behind the front doors
of the printer. Sensors on each gloves door block all movements when they are opened, except the sintering piston and
airlock position.
Direct access to the manufacturing chamber is only performed to carry out maintenance.
Only qualified personel may operate the machine with the manufacturing chamber door opened.
B . Manufacturing chamber
The direct metal printing takes place in the manufacturing chamber, which is kept under a controlled inert atmosphere
during the printing process.
A process chamber window enables the operator to look inside the manufacturing chamber while being protected from the
laser.
The chamber is equipped with a laser safety window .
