Part Washer Release Notes

the part washer can be used as part of dls production to post process printed parts w1 5 0 676 6 overview this document describes changes included in smart part washer software version w1 5 0 676 6 this optional version enables a “production mode” for the washer that prevents machine operators from running an unplanned wash cycle change details when preparing a project via the carbon print prep ui, users can select or upload a wash plan that dictates desired wash cycle(s) for that project to start a wash, an operator at the smart part washer presses a button on the machine’s touchscreen interface if the washer is in production mode, the touchscreen will only allow the operator to start the prescribed wash plan this is in contrast to “standard mode,” which presents the planned wash as the default/first option, but allows the user to select a different wash plan if desired production mode may be useful for organizations that seek to closely control production conditions and limit unexpected actions that an operator may take additional notes about production mode if no wash plan was selected during print preparation, only the default wash plan will be available if a basket is used for off platform washing, the user will first select the correct print from a list of recent prints (as is the case for standard mode); this will load the prescribed wash plan a smart part washer in standard mode has the ability to function offline via pre loaded wash programs however, a washer in production mode must be able to contact carbon’s cloud based services to supply wash plan information for the relevant print thus, a washer that is in production mode will not function when it is unable to connect to carbon’s cloud based systems (eg, if it is offline) opting in to production mode this is an optional software update that will not automatically be deployed to all smart part washers to request that a washer be placed into production mode, reach out to your business development director or support\@carbon3d com note that a washer must either be in production mode or standard mode;
