Understanding layer status

Euler evaluates each layer of the build and assigns it one of four possible states: OK, Minor defect, Critical defect, or Laser in image. These layer-by-layer assessments allow the system to track build health in real time and determine when alerts should be triggered for the user.

To support rapid issue detection, every layer’s status is visualized in a color-coded status bar positioned directly below the defect frequency plot. This bar provides an at-a-glance overview of the build’s progression, making it easy to spot regions where the build transitions into a warning or critical state.

By scanning this bar, users can quickly identify layers that warrant closer inspection without having to step through each layer individually. The same layer status indicator is also shown next to each job in the print jobs table and the print job report, providing a consistent view of build health across the platform.

OK

The OK state means no significant anomalies were detected in the layer. The build is progressing as expected and no operator action is required.

Minor defect

The Minor defect state indicates that minor anomalies were detected that may be early signs of a defect. The layer does not meet the threshold for a critical classification, but warrants monitoring in case conditions worsen in subsequent layers.

Critical defect

The Critical defect state indicates that significant defects were detected in the layer. This classification is used to trigger alerts and should prompt the operator to review the layer closely and consider whether to intervene.

Laser in image

The Laser in image state indicates that a laser beam was detected as visible in a recoating image. This is flagged separately because defect analysis is unreliable when the laser is present in the frame — it does not in itself confirm whether a defect occurred.
