3D Systems ProX 800 User Manual

3D Systems, Inc.
81
Touchscreen interface application through which the user operates the system.
Printhead
Also called the IPM (Image Print Module). This is an assembly that contains the laser and scanning mirrors.
Print Applicator
The assembly of a ProX 800 that either applies material to, or removes excess material from the part, as the applicator moves
across the material surface.
Print chamber
The chamber in which the MDM, elevator, and beam proler are located.
Print Pad
The perforated base on which parts are printed by the ProX 800.
Print Pad Locators
Features that secure and position the edges of the print pad.
Print Pad Supports
L-shaped brackets that support the print pad and attach it to the elevator.
Material Delivery Module (MDM)
The metal container inside the process chamber in the ProX 800 that holds the material from which the part is formed. On older
SLA Centers, the MDM is referred to as the vat.
Safety shutter
A mechanical device that blocks the laser beam when an interlock switch is activated or when closed via the user interface.
Scan speed
See Draw speed.
Sensitization
An allergic response to a chemical stimulus, such as photocurable resin, generally resulting from repeated skin contact.
Skin (skin ll)
See Fill vectors.
SLA Center
See Stereolithography apparatus.
Stereolithography apparatus
The equipment used to produce stereolithographic parts.
Stereolithography
A three-dimensional imaging process that forms plastic objects by solidifying successive layers of photocurable material.
Stereolithography le (STL)
The tessellated (triangulated) CAD input le.
Supports
Structures designed using the 3D Manage software to support a part above the print pad, provide a rigid foundation on which
the object may be printed, and attach and support layer sections.
Sweep
A pass of the print applicator from the front of the material delivery module to the rear or from rear to front. The act of
removing excess material from the upper surface of the part or adding a layer of fresh material during the layer additive
process.
Tessellate
To represent 3D CAD surfaces in polygonal format.
