QLS Product Feature Request - Post Scan Wait Time

Ryan Hamre

Request for an energy setting titled "Post Scan Wait Time" that has the effect of a wait after the scan completes. Example of value range could be 1-60 seconds.

The QLS line currently has an energy setting of "minimal scanner time". This is a "seconds" value that allows for minimal scan time. An example of why it doesn't suffice is this: If the value is set to 14 seconds, a 5 second can would get a 9 second wait time while the freshly scanned layer cools prior to recoat. If a 14 second scan completes, the layers that have just been freshly scanned are recoated as soon as the machine finishes the scan. If the desire is to control the time that the fresh powder is deposited onto the previously sintered layer, then the "minimal scanner time" doesn't provide the necessary control window for recoat.
