build 1. The three stage of part fabrication on an
SLS® system . The three stage are (in order)
Warmup stage , Build stage , and
Cooldown stage . 2. One or more part s set up
to be built in the same part cylinder .
Build mode A state of the
Sinter application in
which options to start
and stop a
build are
available.
build packet A file
containing 3-D part
build geometry data,
build parameter values,
and part parameter
values. The data in a
build packet is required to build a set of
part s
on an SLS® system . You must set up a build
packet in Build Setup before you can run a
build . To run a build , run Sinter on an
SLS® system , click the Build button to enter
Build mode, then click the Start Build button
to select a build packet (.bpf ) file.
build packet archive A
compressed ( Export ed
.bpz ) file containing a
build packet and its
associated files. A build
packet archive can also
contain the
sorted facet file and attached
notes for a build packet . You must import a
build packet archive before you can use the
build packet it contains in a build .
build parameter A
property of a build with
a default profile you can
change in Build Setup .
build preparation Things you do to prepare a
set of 3-D CAD part s for a build on an
SLS® system . During build preparation you
mainly use the Build Setup build preparation
application. Build preparation is the first step
of the
SLS process .
build profile The table of
build parameters vs.
Z height in a build
packet . Each build stage
has a separate profile. Together, they
comprise the build profile.
