Building a Test Part
Factory test parts have been preloaded into your Dimension. To
familiarize yourself with the system, it is recommended that you
build one of the test parts before attempting to build one of your
own files .
Once the printer has warmed up, material has been loaded, and a
modeling base is in place, you can send a test part to the printer.
Build a test part:
1. Press
Maintenance
.
2.
Press
Test Parts
, and select one of the available sample
parts.
Dimension automatically starts building the part.
3.
When the part is finished, follow the steps under
Removing a
Completed Part
on
page 41
.
