6 . Make sure the airlock is in OPEN position, then put the calibration plate on the airlock .
7 . Rotate the airlock in CLOSE position .
8 . Open the front doors .
9 . Put the glove and open the glove doors .
10 . Install the sintering plate on the sintering piston .
Make sure the painted surface of the calibration plate is visible when
positioning it on the sintering piston, as showned on the adjacent figure.
11 . Close the glove door .
12 . Launch the inerting process up to reach the
fume safety
level .
13 .
Download the specific manufacturing FAB file on the printer.
14 . Start the draw (layer#0) of the calibration plate
with the red point
in order to control its positioning . Adjust the
calibration plate it if is necessary .
15 . Start the draw (layer#0) of the calibration plate
without the red point
.
16 . Repeat the previous step, to be sure the draw will be well marked .
17 . Move up the sintering piston about 5-10mm, for easier calibration plate removal .
18 . Remove the calibration plate from the printer .
19 . Inspect visually the sintered lines are homogeneously well marked over the whole surface of the plate (1) . If the result is
not correct (2), repeat the draw on a new calibration plate . If the result is still no correct, contact 3D Systems Customer
Support .
