Create an additive setup

Follow the steps below when using machines with additive FFF, SLA/DLP, MJF, SLS, MPBF, eBeam, or binder jetting capability. For machines with additive DED capability, see Create an additive setup for additive multi-axis deposition.

1. Open a model on the canvas.

2. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Additive > Setup > New Setup .

   The Setup dialog opens.

3. Next to Machine, click Select to find and choose an additive machine.

   Tip: In the Machine Library, in the right pane, filter by Technologies to reduce the number of machines that you can choose.

4. (Optional) If the chosen machine does not have associated print settings, or it does but you want to change them, next to Print Settings, click Select and choose print settings.

5. Leave the Operation Type set to Additive.

6. Click OK.

   The Setup dialog closes. The toolbar updates to show tools that are available for the capability of the chosen additive machine.

   In the Browser, a setup node is added with a node for the selected machine. Use the machine node to show or hide the machine, or expand it to toggle Platform and Build Volume individually, and Additive No Build Zone when defined in the machine definition.
