RCM Com Mode

(Service use only.)

BOS

process

parameter that defines how the

BOS

communicates with the

RCM

; in

LVDT

mode.

RCM Type

BOS

process parameter that defines

what type of

RCM

is connected to the

BOS

;

RCM

model 140 or 230.

Ready mode

The

IRS

mode

in which air flow is on
and powder transfers
are enabled. (Similar to

Breakout Station

mode

BOS

, changing

the desired final

part

dimensions.

RFID tag

(

adio

requency

entification tag)

Small wireless data storage device in the

IPC

that is continually read and written to by a
magnetic reader in the

IRS umbilical

bulkhead connector. The

IPC

RFID tag

contains encrypted

Powder Management

System

data such as

IPC

serial number,

expiration date,

IRS

machine ID, current

IPC

weight, etc.

roller

The device in the

process chamber

that

spreads and levels powder across the

powder

bed

and

part bed

. In each

Add Powder Layer

sequence

, the

powder dispenser

dispenses

powder on top of the roller cover. The roller
moves under a scraper, which scrapes
powder off the cover and deposits it between
the

powder heaters

. It then spreads the

heated powder across the part bed.

Room Oxygen Monitor

Detects the

percentage of oxygen in the

SLS process

room. If the room oxygen concentration
drops to an unsafe level, the Room Oxygen
Monitor sounds and alarm and shuts down
the

SLS® system

and the nitrogen supply to it.

scale profile

A set of scale

parameters that vary
based on the X, Y, and Z
location of parts.

scale parameter

part

scaling property with a
default value you can
change in
