Create Fabrication Devices within ONYX Align that represent the fabrication devices used in your shop. Fabrication Devices can be tied to Print Jobs or Modifiers, and allow you to account for the costs of using various fabrication devices within your shop.

Field

Information

Name

The name that will be displayed for this Fabrication Device throughout the system.

Speed Type

The speed type used for the Fabrication Device.

There are three speed types available:

  • Linear

    • A speed type that calculates the speed of the Fabrication Device based off of linear length (ft / hr).

  • Each

    • A speed type that calculates the speed of the Fabrication Device based off of the time needed to complete a single action. 

  • SQFT

    • A speed type that calculates the speed of the Fabrication Device based off of square footage (sqft / hr).

Note: Fabrication Devices can only be tied to Modifiers that share the same speed/cost type. For example, a Fabrication Device that has a Linear speed type can only be tied to a Modifier that has a Linear cost type.

Speed

The speed at which the Fabrication Device operates. This field will change based on the speed type selected:

  • If Linear speed type is selected:

    • Speed is calculated in ft / hr

  • If Each speed type is selected:

    • Speed is calculated in Hr, Min, Sec for each action

  • If SQFT speed type is selected:

    • Speed is calculated in sqft / hr

Minimum Time

The minimum amount of time able to be computed for this Fabrication Device when it is used. This allows for some amount of time to be computed for the Fabrication Device no matter what.

Operational Cost

The estimated cost per hour for operating this Fabrication Device (excluding labor).

Labor

The Labor that is tied to the Fabrication Device.

Labor Rate

The percentage amount of time labor is required in relation to the fabrication device time. For example, if this value were set to 50% and you had a fabrication device time of 10 minutes, then the fabrication labor time would be 5 minutes (50% of 10 minutes).
