Overview
7 7..1 1..3 3..4 4 P Prro occe essss S Se ettu up p
The P Prro occe essss tab is found behind the Menu button. Each material type has its own
theme (provided by Arcam) that includes all necessary process parameters.
These parameters can be edited, but an edited theme must be saved with new
name, since the Arcam EBM default themes cannot be overwritten. Always consult
Arcam EBM before editing a parameter.
The Process Status (upper right panel) gives an over-
view of the process setup progress. When both indica-
tors are green, everything on the process setup tab,
necessary for a new build, has been completed for se-
lected items.
N No otte e
Green indicators indicate that all the neces-
sary steps have been completed. However, it
does not guarantee that the parameters and
the build itself are correct.

Every process step must include a theme and at least one of the steps must include
a model for the process setup to be complete.
Themes provided by Arcam EBM are located in the Arcam folder and themes cre-
ated by an operator will be located in the User folder.
The order the process steps gets in the “Step” area is the same as the build order.
Recommended build sequence is: Preheating (without model), Melt, Net (if re-
quired) and Wafer (support, if required).
