Set up your Production Floor

To establish your production setup, we work in the sections Workstations and Workflows.

Workstations

Go to Settings > Workstations to configure the printers and post-production resources on your shop floor.

1. Click Add Workstation

2. Input the Workstation Name

3. Add an Internal Description, e.g. company specific ID

4. Select all materials that can be scheduled on the machine

5. Define Build chamber dimensions

   • If you have several printers of the same technology you can configure print dimensions in a way to prioritize small and large parts

6. Select a Nesting Type

   • Depending on Technology, either nest in 3D space or a 2D area

7. Define the Capacity Area:

   • This is required for automated scheduling

   • Based on the defined size, our system will check how many parts can fit into the build chamber

     • Box volume fits exactly into build chamber —> 100%

     • If you are not filling your build chamber <100%

     • If your nesting is so dense (and efficient) that you fill more part box volumes than build chamber volume fits into the build chamber, select >100%
