While it’s still warm – place the RCM lid on it
immediately to prevent uneven cooling.
Then let it sit in the room with the RCM lid
and cool down naturally.

Before You Begin
✓
Verify that the BOS RCM seal is latched in its
upright position.
✓
Know the size, shape, and placement of the
parts in the cylinder.
✓
Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the
SLS system area.
✓
Make sure the parts are cool enough to
prevent permanent deformation.
✓
If the core temperature of the part cake is
greater than 60 ºC (140 °F), do not continue.
L
If you do not have a thermometer, insert a
metal probe or breakout tool into the part cake
for 15 seconds; if it is too hot to hold, do not
continue. Also refer to the
Material Guide .
✓
Make sure the roller is at a limit.
