Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
2 Parameter sets
The laser sintering process is controlled by so-called parameter sets on EOS systems. These
parameter sets contain material specific exposure and heating parameters as well as system
and software adaptions.
In the past system users had to be enabled and trained in the skills to adapt most of the
exposure parameters, because the process and system parameters were unstable. To
compensate these variations, the exposure parameters had to be adjusted. As these variations
were removed during the recent years and a stable process and stable system configurations
were developed, they can now be used as a standard for most applications.
2.1 Part Property Management - parameter sets

The so-called Part Property Profiles (PPPs) enable a standardisation of the properties of laser-
sintered parts. By using a PPM parameter set the quality assigned to this PPM parameter set –
the Part Property Profile - is reached, no matter whether the part is built on a system of the
series EOS P 770, EOS P 396 or FORMIGA P 110 Velocis.
The definition of the PPPs is derived from the typical profiles of requirements. With every part
to be built certain quality-relevant requirements concerning surface quality, mechanics,
accuracy and detail resolution are to be fulfilled, each with a different degree and focus. As a
rule among quality targets also cost targets are to be kept to. Because requirements for high
quality on the one hand and low costs on the other hand are in conflict with each other, an
optimal compromise is to be found. Hence, the five PPPs, to which five parameter sets
correspond to, address to different requirement profiles, sometimes mainly to costs, sometimes
to different quality characteristics or carefully well-balanced compromises.
On a publicly accessible database EOS provides for every PPP dimensioning-relevant, traceable
determined and therefore reliable basic material properties. These allow directly the
reproducible and therefore QS conform dimensioning of laser-sintering designs in
consideration of the application-specific safety factors, often without elaborately customer-
specific property evaluation. Among these are values for tensile strength, elongation at break
and moduli of elasticity for the horizontal X/Y-direction. Values for the vertical, layer-
orthogonal Z-direction have thus far been rather unusual in the field of additive layer
processes but have herewith become standard
For the specific inquiry which will originate out of this free offer you are best positioned as a
user of the PPM parameter sets.

Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
The PPM parameter sets, which are necessary for the production of the particular PPPs, are
selected according to the requirement profile of the particular design. Therewith, to a certain
extent, costs, mechanics and detail resolution of the parts can be varied correspondingly.
Together with the standardized and regularly maintained and tested laser-sintering system, the
competent handling of the individual material circle and the use of appropriate quality
procedures, the PPPs provide a closed system for process control for the experienced user.
Considering the limitation of use this is the key for making the standardized quality of the
PPM available.
In the course of development and introduction of the PPM standards, EOS has adapted –
where necessary - its range of services offered to the rising requirements:
 New, standardized quality control and adjustment procedures are used for important
process factors which play a decisive role in the context of the PPM (e.g. building
temperature).
 Geometry and process related reasonable limitations of use of the PPPs have been
evaluated.
 Both aspects were packed into concise training courses (see chapter 7.3).
 The range of the service products was continuously improved according to the
requirements of the PPM, so that a PPM-compliant maintenance state of your
FORMIGA P 110 Velocis can be guaranteed any time (see chapter 7.5).
For the use of the PPM parameter sets it is essential to participate in suitable P 110 trainings
courses. Experienced customers who are already familiar with the EOS systems, as well as
customers who are unversed in this technology, profit from the P 110 training program which
is optimally adapted to these requirements.
It enables you to unleash the full potential of the PPM concept and therewith to cover a broad
range of requirements according to specific need.
2.1.1 PA2200 Balance 1.0

The advantage of the PPM parameter set “Balance” is its speed. The layer thickness of 120 µm
offers a perfect balance between production costs, mechanical properties, surface quality and
accuracy. It is therefore suitable for parts with varying geometries, dimensions and
requirements.

Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
2.1.2 PA2200 Performance 1.0

“Performance” is the PPM parameter set of choice for parts with high demands on mechanical
properties and fracture behaviour, especially when the part is going to be subjected to
multiaxial loading in all three directions. Performance parts are characterized by the highest
degree of isotropic strength and rigidity. The choice of 100 µm layer thickness results in fine
resolution and also very high surface quality and detail resolution.
This parameter set is preinstalled on every new system.
2.1.3 PA2200 TopQuality 1.0

The PPM parameter set “TopQuality” takes laser-sintering to completely new realms. Very small
to medium-sized parts with extremely fine, fragile geometries and geometric elements and the
strictest requirements in surface quality are best served by this parameter set. It applies a layer
thickness of 60 µm, which is approximately the thickness of a grain of the plastic powder
normally used today. The typical stair-step effect on upward and downward-pointing geometry
elements can practically no longer be seen on TopQuality parts. The mechanical attributes of
TopQuality parts are satisfyingly close to the level of Performance parts.
The PPP “TopQuality” examines the process potentials of the FORMIGA P 110 Velocis as well as
of the employed material to a great extent, in case of the maximum supported building height
(300 mm) even completely. The resulting part qualities are accordingly impressive. Close to
today´s technical and reasonable feasibility this PPP makes special demands on the
technology-specific knowledge and skills of the operator. Hence, specific training is mandatory
for the operator. The training “Generation of parts with high detail resolution” provides the
necessary knowledge for the optimal use of the parameter set.
2.2 Original EOS ParameterSets

Compared to the state of technology of the former FORMIGA P 110, the Original EOS
ParameterSets (OEPs), which are not PPM parameter sets are unchanged and now optionally
available. This enables the user to concentrate on the actual required materials with
accordingly cost-reducing effect.

Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
Apart from PA 2200 which is covered by the PPM-parameter sets, the OEPs support further
materials. Further detail information regarding this topic is provided in the material
compatibility matrix.
2.3 Dental models parameter set PA2105_060_000 (dental only)

The PA2105_060 parameter set contains the machine parameters which were explicitly
optimized for dental applications. The parameter set was optimized for highest demands on
surface quality and dimensional accuracy. With a nominal layer thickness of 60 µm this
parameter set ensures a very fine Z-resolution, surface and detail quality. The PA2105_060
parameter set achieves an optimal result only in combination with proper treatment of the
PA 2105 material and competent operation of the process.
2.4 ParameterEditor
The modification of existing exposure parameters in order to optimize parts results is possible
with the ParameterEditor packets. These parameters are based on an EOS proved parameter
set. The start values of the exposure type are included in this packet and can be adapted to a
customized exposure type. It can be adapted until the results wanted are reached.
ParameterEditor packets include:
 ExposureEditor license
 OEP or PPP parameter sets
 Start values which can be customized using the ExposureEditors
The ParameterEditor packets offer the ideal condition for less experienced users, which require
optimizing the exposure parameters to manufacture even better parts.
2.4.1 ExposureEditor
The ExposureEditor enables the development and the use of your own parameter sets on an
system equipped for this purpose and offers therefore a functional editor. On the basis of
existing exposure types like
 “Sorted” – speed-optimized filling (hatching)

 “Unsorted” - homogeneity-optimized filling (hatching)
 “Up-Downskin” – combination of “Sorted” for inner areas and “Unsorted” for the upper
Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
and the lower surfaces

 “Skin-Core” – differentiated parameters for cover area and inner area
exposures can be parameterized regarding speed, laser power and exposure track.
2.4.2 Start values

For the development of individual exposure parameters, less experienced users benefit from
start values as a basis for their own development.

4 Is ductile and non-splinteringData preparation

Pre-processing of CAD data is necessary to create
the SLI data which are required for the laser-
sintering process. The main requirement is the
conversion of three-dimensional (3D) structures into
a sequence of two-dimensional (2D) layers called
"slices". Further requirements depend on the
individual process chain from CAD design to the
sintering process and may contain the needs of
repairing, cutting or scaling 3D structures.
Initial format for generation of the ‘slices’ is always
the STL format, that approximates the part geometry
by a net of triangles. Several software packages are
capable to convert data of e.g. IGES, VDA-FS, STEP,
CATIA, PRO/E or other formats into the STL format.
An IBM compatible PC is required for this data pre-

processing. The equipment should meet the
following requirements:
- Processor > 2 GHz, min. Pentium IV (or similar) recommended

- RAM 1 GB (2 GB recommended)
- Hard drive space on C: > 1 GB free space
- Hard drive space on D: (database system) > 10 GB free space
- Graphic board > 128 MB recommended, open-GL
- Network interface RJ45/100BaseTX
- Network protocol TCP/IP
- Operating system Windows XP (32 Bit)
- Disk-drives CD-ROM
- Monitor 17” (1024x768 true colour)

Telephone: +49 (0)89 / 893 36-0
For additional demands e.g. on processor performance or RAM, especially with simultaneous
use of external data processing software, please refer to the corresponding supplier
documents.
EOS Software available in two variants 32bit and 64bit has to be used stringently in the
version according to the MS operating system. This means on a MS 64bit operating system the
64bit version of EOS software has to be used and on a MS 32bit operating system the 32bit
version of EOS software has to be used!
Various software packages are available for data preparation on a PC, as described below.
4.1 EOS RP-Tools - the EOS software for generating and manipulating layer
data
EOS RP-Tools is a software package which allows part data in STL format or in CLI format to
be converted into the EOS-specific SLI format required for the subsequent building process.
Layer data of solid bodies can be separated into skin and core data to facilitate process
optimisation.
The EOS RP-Tools consists of the modules:
- SLIVIEW: graphical user interface for visualising layer data
- SLICER: generates two-dimensional layer data out of three-dimensional STL data
- SLIFIX: automatic repair of the most common data errors in layer data such as
overlaps, double contours and inverted polygon-orientation
- SKINCORE: separates massive part data into one data set for a definable Skin and a Core
on a two-dimensional basis. Note: with PSW V3.3 this functionality is also
included in the PSW.
- SLICONV: automatic data conversion from CLI to EOS SLI and vice versa (either ASCII
or binary)
- Data input format STL, CLI (ASCII or binary), EOS SLI
- Data output format EOS SLI, CLI (ASCII or binary)
If a higher level of automation of the data preparation process is preferred, the Magics module
EOS Build Processor can also be used for this function.

4.4.5 Optional Magics Modules

Materialise offers many other modules in their portfolio. If you are interested, please contact
Materialise directly.
4.5 Sintermodule (aka EOSPACE)

The Sintermodule automatically performs a positioning of all parts to be built in a way that
the build envelope is used to its full extend and at the same time the build height of the job is
minimised. The placement is based on the real part surfaces, so parts can be nested into each
other. However, a minimum space between the parts can be chosen and is guaranteed in order
to assure process stability and part quality. By this, full use is made out of the systems
productivity.
This product is integrated within Materialise Magics RP and requires the most recent version
of Magics. Currently this module can only be ordered from Materialise directly.

5 IPCM options
5.1 Unpacking and processing station P 1 (UAP P1)*)

In the unpacking station the built parts are taken out of the
exchangeable frame and are freed from the loose powder.
Recyclable powder and waste powder are separated from one
another.
The station has an interface to the FORMIGA P 1 exchangeable
frame with a pneumatic lifting device for the building platform and
a filler plug for new powder.
By the integrated precision weighing unit, new and recycled powder
can be filled into the FORMIGA P 1 powder supply containers in the
required amount.
Image 2: Unpacking and

5.2 Modular unpacking and sieving station P1/P3 (M- processing station
UAP P1/P3) *)
The modular unpacking and sieving station combines the tasks of unpacking, sieving and used
powder conveying that are downstream from the Additive Manufacturing process into an
optimised system. Both system series FORMIGA P 1 and EOS P 3 are supported and customized
adapters ensure the exact fit of the respective exchangeable frame. As a result, one unpacking
and sieving station is all that is needed for heterogeneous FORMIGA P 1 and EOS P 3 machine
outfits. This leads to significant savings in both the space and investments needed for
manufacturing.
Mode of operation
The exchangeable frame is inserted and locked correctly and its platform is raised electrically
at the push of a button. The exchangeable frame unit is thus easily accessible and the
components can be ergonomically separated from the used powder. Loose powder is fed into
the integrated sieving module through a perforated plate. In the Powder Bin product variant,
the sieved material falls into a barrel-shaped container on a trolley while in the Multibox
product variant, the sieved powder is transported to a closed Multibox by means of a powder
pump.

5.2.1 Product variant Multibox

This variant has been designed for users seeking to integrate a professional material
management system into their manufacturing. Open pouring processes can be eliminated and
a completely closed powder cycle is established through the use of IPCM P plus components
including the Multibox. This rules out the possibility of material contamination and a the
effort of lifting heavy powder containers. The used powder in the Multibox is normally
returned to the Mixing & Qualification Station (MQS) where new and used powder is mixed,
homogenised and conditioned. By means of Multiboxes the conditioned powder is then
transported to the respective laser sintering system and fed to it automatically by a Docking
Station as required.
The Multibox variant of the modular unpacking and sieving station comprises:
• Basic module of the unpacking and sieving station for FORMIGA P 1 and EOS P 3 systems
• Adapter for FORMIGA P 1 or EOS P 3 exchangeable frame
• Optional: dust cover
• Optional: further adapter for FORMIGA P 1 or EOS P 3 exchangeable frame
5.2.2 Product variant Powder Bin

This variant is aimed at users who can forego the convenience of a Multibox or who have
already integrated an existing material handling solution into their manufacturing
environment. The Powder Bin acts as a collecting container and means of transport for used
powder. The unpacking and sieving procedure is identical to that described for the Multibox
variant. In this case, the powder is usually refreshed using the IPCM P Powder Conveying
System or customised mixing units.
The Powder Bin variant of the modular unpacking and sieving station comprises:
• Basic module of the unpacking and sieving station for FORMI GA P 1 and EOS P 3 systems
• Mobile material container Powder Bin
• Adapter for FORMIGA P 1 or EOS P 3 exchangeable frame
• Optional: dust cover
• Optional: further adapter for FORMIGA P 1 or EOS P 3 exchangeable frame

5.2.3 Optional elements

The following elements are available for both variants as optional extras:
• Dust cover: The modular unpacking and sieving station can be fitted with
a dust cover to which a vacuum cleaner or in-house extraction system can
be connected. A dustproof collar allows dust-reduced manual accessibility
when the cover is closed. Two large windows offer a good view of the
workspace and let light in.
• Adapter for FORMIGA P 1 or EOS P 3 exchangeable frame:
The modular unpacking and sieving station can be modified to hold exchangeable frames in
various sizes. Customers who operate only one of the system series need only one adapter.
Customers with both system series require a further adapter. Modification by means of
adapters is a simple procedure taking only a few minutes.
• ATEX or UL design: The modular unpacking and sieving station can be ordered in ATEX design
(for all markets outside the USA) or in UL design (for the American market only).

are mixed in the required amount through rotation movements
of the powder bin.
The mixing station is recommended as standard equipment, as it
reduces man power effort and ensures a constant powder
quality.
