Abstract
Implementations of a sintering film frame may include a frame including 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.
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 configured to be detected by a position sensor in a sintering tray station;
- and
- a frame identifier on a side of the frame.

A method of preparing sintering film, the method comprising:
- coupling a plurality of sintering film frames to a release film, each of the plurality of sintering film frames coupled around each of a plurality of sintering films;
- and
- cutting the release film around each of the plurality of sintering film frames to singulate the plurality of sintering film frames.
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;
- detecting, using a position sensor, a position detection opening in a sintering film frame of the plurality of sintering film frames;
- identifying each of the plurality of sintering film frames using a frame identifier on a side of each sintering film frames;
- and
- loading each of the plurality of sintering film frames onto a sintering tray station.
