10/21/08

2.7 Check The Default Powder Settings

1. Select Settings > Powder Settings to display the Powder Settings dialog.

2. Select the printer and the powder type from the left-side panel to view the settings for that combination.

• ZPrint defaults to the recommended powder settings for the Layer Thickness, Saturation Lev-

els, Binder/Volume Ratio, Bleed Compensation, Anisotropic Scaling and Fixture Clearance.

Important: Most of the powder settings cannot be changed, but you can override the settings for

the Layer Thickness, Bleed Compensation, Anisotropic Scaling, and the Fixture Clearance

for the current build only. We do not recommend changing these, but should you need to:

•Select File > 3D Print Setup to disable the Bleed Compensation, or to change the Layer Thick-

ness.

•Select Transform > Anisotropic Scaling to change the values for Anisotropic Scaling.

•Select Edit > Make Fixture to change the Fixture Clearance amount. This value is the smallest

amount of space between the Fixture and the part, without actually touching.

2.7.1 Create A New Powder Type

You can create a new powder type and enter new data in the fields that are activated in the Powder Set-

tings dialog. The new settings must be saved under a unique powder name and will be added to the left-

side panel after saving. See the ZPrint™ Software Manual for complete instructions on how to create a

new powder type.

2.8 Transform The Part in ZPrint

The ZPrint Transform menu has several options for transforming parts. Following is a brief overview to

help familiarize you with some of these options. For a complete description of the Transform menu, please

refer to the ZPrint™ Software Manual.
