7.3 Matrix Leveling (9-Point Compensation)

Tiertime Matrix Leveling can effectively reduce the adverse effects of tilting and uneven

surface of build platform. The leveling will not affect the print's dimensional accuracy in

contrary to other leveling methods. Its leveling mechanism is to first measure the platform

heights at 9 different points and then use the values to generate a compensating raft that

provides a flat and leveled build surface. Then the object is print onto the raft for best print

quality and platform adhesion.

The Leveling process could done automatically or manually on UP600.

1. Platform may be tilted and

print surface may be uneven

(may not be visible in real

situation). Platform height at

9 different points are

measured (arrows) by

automatic probe or manually

with paper.

2. A compensating raft is laid

onto the platform to build a

flat and leveled surface. The

amount of compensation

depends on the result of the

previous measurement.

3. Object is printed on the

raft. Note object’s bottom is

flat and horizontal in contrary

to the platform’s tilted and

uneven surface.
