Claims20
A sintering film frame comprising:
- a frame comprising an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter, the inner perimeter defining an opening through the frame;
- a position detection opening through the frame;
- at least two alignment holes through the frame;
- and
- a frame identifier on a side of the frame.

A method of preparing sintering film, the method comprising:
- coupling a release film to a plurality of sintering films so each of the plurality of sintering films is arranged in a spaced apart relationship from each other sintering film of the plurality of sintering films on the release film;
- coupling a plurality of sintering film frames to the release film, each of the plurality of sintering film frames coupled around each of the plurality of sintering films;
- applying pressure between the plurality of the sintering film frames and the release film;
- cutting the release film around each of the plurality of sintering film frames to singulate the plurality of sintering film frames;
- and
- packing the plurality of sintering film frames into a frame transport container.

A method of using a sintering film, the method comprising:
- unloading a plurality of sintering film frames from a frame transport container, each of the plurality of sintering film frames comprising a sintering film supported by a release film in an opening of each sintering film frame;
- automatically identifying each of the plurality of sintering film frames using a frame identifier on a side of each sintering film frames;
- and
- automatically loading each of the plurality of sintering film frames onto a sintering tray station.
