Glossary
The words Euler uses, and what they mean.
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
An analysis of a group of prints that shows which ones stand out from the rest, and for which defect types.
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.
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.
Datasource
#A computer running Euler Connect that sends layer images from one or more devices to Euler.
Defect
#Something wrong in a layer, such as spatter or a recoater streak, that may affect the part.
Defect class
#The type of a defect, with the name and color shown in the print viewer legend, for example Spatter or Warpage.
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.
E
Euler Connect
#The app that sends layer images to Euler while builds run. Install it on the computer that runs your printer.
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.
H
Heatmap
#A view of the build plate that shows where defects gather across many layers, in 2D or 3D.
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.
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.
M
Member
#An organization role that can view, upload, tag and comment on prints and respond to alerts.
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.
P
Perspective correction
#Lining up the camera's view with the build plate, so that layer images look as if taken from straight above.
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.
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.
