Print Part (Sinter)
Select parts to print and assign materials for binder sintering.
-
Select the Print Part
tool on the Print3D ribbon.
Tip: To find and open a tool, press Ctrl+F. For more information, see Find and Search for Tools. - Select one or more parts in the modeling window to prepare it for 3D printing.
-
Assign a material, initial temperature, and relative density to the part in the
microdialog.
- Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
Note:
- You can view the Materials Database and create your own materials by
clicking the
icon on the microdialog.
- You can access the Altair Materials Data Center (AMDC) in the Materials
window via the Import dropdown:
- When using the Print 3D module, materials should only be assigned or changed using the Print Part tool. Assigning a material using the part context menu or the Property Editor will instead assign an Inspire structural material, which should be ignored.
- If you select multiple parts to print, you then define the orientation and apply supports for each print part individually. When you run the simulation, the analysis will consider all the parts jointly in its calculations.
