The following terms and forms have been adopted and used in the manual.
1. SINTERIT LISA PRO 3D PRINTER －(LISA PRO, 3D printer, printer, machine,
device) – a selective laser sintering (SLS) machine used in additive manufacturing
(AM) processes. Device dedicated for professional and quick manufacturing of three
dimensional (3D) models of spatial objects.
2. SINTERIT STUDIO 2019 (STUDIO, Sinterit STUDIO)－dedicated software for the
Sinterit LISA Printer. Sitnerit STUDIO as a desktop application allows to prepare 3D
models (set them in the printable area - called PRINT BED) and track the print status
of the printer during the printing process.
3. MATERIAL, POWDER, PA, FLEXA, TPE －powder material dedicated for printing in
SLS technology. A powder from the PA, TPU or TPE group, with granulation 20-105
[ɲm] and the sintering temperature up to 195 [oC].
4. RECOATER – a RECOATER in the form of a roller, moving on a guide bar by means
of a wire. Used to transfer the powder from the FEED BED to the PRINT BED during
the printing process.
5. FEED BED (SOURCE, SOURCE BED) – a chamber storing new, unsintered powder.
6. PRINT BED – a chamber where the sintering of powder takes place, creating the print.
7. OVERFLOW BIN – a chamber used to collect the excess unsintered powder,
transferred from the FEED BED to the PRINT BED by the RECOATER.
8. NITROGEN CHAMBER - built-in chamber that is an integral part of the device,
allowing connect gas (nitrogen or argon) and working in a controlled atmosphere. Only
some powders are suitable for printing using it. Check the description on the material.
9. FRESH POWDER – virgin powder, used for refreshing PA12 SMOOTH and PA11
ONYX. Needs to be mixed with the used powder in correct proportions. FRESH
POWDER is not suitable for printing (the print may not be successful).
10. USED POWDER －all the unsintered powder that remains after the printing and
cleaning process. Suitable for printing if we are using TPU based material. If using
material from PA group and TPE - suitable for printing after refreshing by adding
FRESH POWDER, in indicated by the software proportions (different for every
material).
11. PRINT READY POWDER – powder ready to be used by the printer - combination of
sintered in the previous printing process USED POWDER and FRESH POWDER.
