Z Corp. System Software

PLEASE NOTE: Z Corporation provides recommendations for shell and core saturation fo

powder types. This can be found on the Powder Fact Sheet provided with your case o

powder. You may choose to increase saturation values for higher strength or decrease

saturation values due to difficulties with depowdering.

PLEASE NOTE: If printing with starch-based powders - When pressing “3D

Print”, a warning will appear if you do not check the 3D Print Setup dialog bo

before printing. It will let you know how the saturation is currently set before

printing. If you choose to override the saturation values, click ‘No’ and edit the

settings as described above. If you would like to continue printing with the

saturation values given, click on ‘Yes’.

6) Default values are defined in terms of percentage. The recommended saturation values

will always be at 100%. You may choose to set a default percentage value for saturation

values and save these as default. This will be applied when you press ‘Use Default’.

For example, if you would like to use 90% of the recommended shell saturation value for

every build, choose to override the current settings and type in the desired value. Click

‘OK’. Then select ‘Save as Default’. This will save your shell saturation percentage value

as default. When setting up a new build, click on ‘Use Default’. The percentage value

saved will be used. In this example, the shell saturation value would be set at 90% of the

default.

Input anisotropic scaling factors for the chosen powder. These values may then be saved as

default values in the ‘3D Print Setup’ dialog box. This scaling will affect all parts in the

build. You may choose to assign anisotropic scaling factors for each model by using the

‘Anisotropic Scaling’ option under the Transform menu.

PLEASE NOTE: The build anisotropic scaling factors will override any factors set for each

model. Thus, it is recommended that the build anisotropic scaling factors be set first.

Anisotropic scaling operates as a simple multiplier. The shrinkage or expansion you experience

may differ from the norm because of humidity and temperature variations between operating

environments. The anisotropic scaling factors allow the printer to compensate for these

differences.

PLEASE NOTE: When anisotropic scaling factors are applied to a build, the physical par

will increase or decrease in size. The part rendered on the software will change in

appearance with the anisotropic change but the dimensional values will remain the same.

You may need to rescale or justify the part after changing anisotropic scaling factors.
