Building a Test Part
Factory test parts have been preloaded into your Dimension. To
familiarize yourself with the system, it is recommended that you
build one of the test parts before attempting to build one of your
own files .
Once the printer has warmed up, material has been loaded, and a
modeling base is in place, you can send a test part to the printer.
Build a test part:
1. Press Maintenance.
2. Press Test Parts, and select one of the available sample
parts.
Dimension automatically starts building the part.
3. When the part is finished, follow the steps under Removing a
Completed Part on page 43.
Sending Your CAD File to the System
This section describes the procedures used for sending your own
CAD files to Dimension.
Send a “job” to Dimension:
1. Create an STL file with your CAD software.
2. Click on the CatalystEX icon on the desktop of your PC.
The CatalystEX main window opens (Figure 14 on page 40).
