6 .  Move down the sintering piston about 5-10mm .
7 .  Open the airlock .
8 .  Open the airlock door .
9 .  Load the calibration plate on the sintering plate via the airlock .

10 .  Close the airlock door .
11 .  Close the airlock .
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 if 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 .  When job is complete, repeat steps from 6 to 8 to remove the calibration plate from the printer via the airlock .
18 .  Close the airlock door and airlock . Then stop the inerting process .
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 .

20 .  The control of the calibration requires the current 

correction file. To export this correction file:

• 

Access to the 

Configuration

 tool,

• 

Go to the
