SLS process
(SLS™ process) 3D System’s process
for creating 3-D models and end-use
part
s
from powdered materials starting with a 3-D
CAD file. The SLS process proceeds in three
steps:
build preparation
,
build
, and
breakout
.
The following 3D
Systems SLS equipment
play major roles in the SLS process:
IRS
,
IPC
,
RCM
,
SLS®
system
,
Nitrogen Generator
, and
BOS
. Auxiliary machines include:
Chiller
,
Room Oxygen Monitor
,
Dust Collector
, Bead
Blaster, and Non-ignition Vacuum Cleaner.
sort
To arrange
facets
in an
STL file
in ascending Z
order.
sorted facet file
A file that contains the facets in
the
STL file
sort
ed in ascending Z order. The
software creates the sorted facet file when
you verify
part
s in the
Build Setup
application. You can display sorted facet files
in
Build Setup
. A
build
requires a sorted facet
file.

stage
One of three
separate, consecutive
states of a
build
. Each
stage has a separate
build profile
.
Standby mode
The mode
(in both the
IRS
and
BOS
) in which air flow is
shut off and powder
transfers are disabled.
All other functions, such
as setup and diagnostics, are available in
Standby.
STL file
A file produced by a CAD system. The
SLS® system
computer uses this file to
generate a build. It is composed of triangles
connected at vertices that represent exterior
and interior surfaces. It can be either ASCII or
binary. Users can read ASCII files, but in
general, binary files provide better space
conservation and system performance.
