NX Are there any EOS machine templates available for NX?

Additive Manufacturing : Are there any EOS machine templates available for NX?

At the moment, we just have the TRUMPF templates listed, but it can easily be

modified to include additional machine definitions:

edit NX\MACH\templates\ugs_additive_manufacuring_templates.pax :

- Copy one of the printer entries:

<PaletteEntry id="d3">

<References/>

<Presentation name="TRUMPF TruPrint 1000" description="NX Additive

Manufacturing Part for TRUMPF TruPrint 1000">

<PreviewImage type="UGPart" location="TRUMPF_TruPrint_1000.jpg"/>

</Presentation>

<ObjectData class="AdditiveManufacturingTemplate">

<Filename>trumpf_truprint1000-mm-part-template.prt</Filename>

<Units>Metric</Units>

<UsesMasterModel>No</UsesMasterModel>

</ObjectData>

</PaletteEntry>

- then paste and edit this section, making reference to the EOS template part

and jpg

<PaletteEntry id="d7">

<References/>

<Presentation name="EOS" description="NX Additive Manufacturing Part

for EOS">

<PreviewImage type="UGPart" location="EOS.jpg"/>

</Presentation>

<ObjectData class="AdditiveManufacturingTemplate">

<Filename>EOS.prt</Filename>

<Units>Metric</Units>

<UsesMasterModel>No</UsesMasterModel>

</ObjectData>

</PaletteEntry>

The EOS-mm-part-template.prt would need to be created in NX\MACH\templates ,

but could be based on an existing part file eg

trumpf_truprint1000-mm-part-template.prt

In a similar way, a jpg of the machine needs creating in the same folder.
