The terms you will meet in Euler and in these docs. Each entry links to the page that covers it.

A

Admin

#

An organization role that can do everything a Member can, and also manage members, devices, notifications and organization settings.

Alert

#

A notice Euler raises when it finds a critical defect that may need you to act during a print. Alerts reach you by email or Slack and appear in the print's timeline.

C

Comparison

#also called outlier analysis

An analysis of a group of prints that shows which ones stand out from the rest, and for which defect types.

Credit

#

On the free plan, one credit lets you run a full analysis of one print.

Learn more

Critical section

#

A run of consecutive layers marked Critical defect, shown in red on the layer status bar. Press Shift + ← or → to jump between them.

Learn more

D

Dashboard

#

A full-screen view of your devices and their prints, opened from a secret link. Made for a screen on the shop floor.

Learn more

Datasource

#

A computer running Euler Connect that sends layer images from one or more devices to Euler.

Learn more

Defect

#

Something wrong in a layer, such as spatter or a recoater streak, that may affect the part.

Learn more

Defect class

#

The type of a defect, with the name and color shown in the print viewer legend, for example Spatter or Warpage.

Learn more

Detection

#

One marked box on a layer image, showing where Euler found a defect of one class.

Device

#

A printer as Euler knows it, with a name, a device type and settings such as perspective correction.

Learn more

E

Euler Connect

#

The app that sends layer images to Euler while builds run. Install it on the computer that runs your printer.

Learn more

Exposure image

#

The photo of a layer taken after the laser has melted it.

F

Frequency plot

#

The graph under the layer image that shows how many defects of each class occur on every layer.

Learn more

H

Heatmap

#

A view of the build plate that shows where defects gather across many layers, in 2D or 3D.

Learn more

I

Inside / outside part

#

Whether a defect lies on one of your parts or in the powder around them. Use the part toggles to show one or both.

Learn more

L

Layer

#

One slice of the build, with its recoat and exposure images.

Layer number

#

A layer's position in the build, counted from 1 at the bottom.

Layer profile

#

A small ring that shows how a print's layers split between severities.

Learn more

M

Member

#

An organization role that can view, upload, tag and comment on prints and respond to alerts.

Learn more

Model ID

#

The name of the analysis version a print was analyzed with, shown in the print's details and report. Quote it when you discuss results with Euler.

O

Organization

#

Your company's space in Euler, holding its devices, prints, members and settings.

Learn more

P

Perspective correction

#

Lining up the camera's view with the build plate, so that layer images look as if taken from straight above.

Learn more

Print

#also called print job

One build on one device, with all its layers, alerts and comments. The app calls it a print job.

R

Recoat image

#

The photo of a layer taken after fresh powder has been spread.

S

Severity

#

The status each layer gets: OK, Minor defect, Critical defect, or Laser in image when the laser was visible in the photo.

Learn more

Snooze

#

An answer to an alert that hides it for 50, 100 or 200 more layers. If the defect is still there then, the alert comes back.

Learn more

T

Tag

#

A colored label you put on prints to group and filter them.
