16. Glossary Of Terms
CAD/CAM-- Computer-aided design (CAD) systems in engineering and computer-aid manufacturing (CAM) systems are joined together to
produce a product.
- this single use device meters proprietary resin housed within the cartridge for precise layering to build a part layer upon layer; theCartridge
device has a RFID label to ensure optimum build performance.
- the chamber door prevents harmful UV radiation from escaping the printer chamber during the print process. The chamber doorChamber Door
must be closed prior to starting or resuming a print job and is locked when printing is in progress.
- is a text file used for obtaining information for resolving potential problems that may occur with the modeler.Log File
- this device insures the printer cannot be opened while a model is being built unless the modeler is placed into a pause mode. Door Interlock
- (Right and Left Elevator motors)- these two motors (left and right) control the build pad height and angle used to add layers toElevator Motors
the model, reduce air entrapment between layers, and alter the separation force between the Resin Transfer Film and the model during the build
process.
- these switches are also located on the elevator assemblies and tell the modeler when the build pad is parked in the homeHome Switches
position for installation of a new pad or removal of a pad after a completed print.
- frame with precision optical glass upon which images are projected. The Resin Transfer Film provides a precisely controlled layerImage Plane
of resin which is used to add another layer to the print which is being built.
- (Imager, Imager fans, Imager Power, Imager Registration, Imager Temp Sensor) - this is a proprietary imaging device used to print theImager
individual layers of the print. Imager resolution and our proprietary algorithms control the model geometry, flatness, distortion, and other aspects
of model quality. Imager Fans and the - are used to maintain the proper imager temperature. Imager Registration insuresImager Temp Sensor
that properly calibrated imagers are used with each printer.
- this is a replaceable item. Replace when printer notifies that the lamp life is expiring toImager Lamp (Imager Lamp, DVI, Imager Control)
insure proper resin cure during the print process. Digital data is used to build each print. Imager Control monitors and controls imager status.
- is used to resize parts during the build process.Job Scale Percentage (Job Scale %)
- Used to cover the material tray during curing process.Material Cover
- the printer reads an encrypted RFID tag on the cartridge to communicate parameters and ensure optimum printMaterial Quailty Guarantee
quality.
- Hold the material during the printing process.Material Tray
- Process for rapid and flexible production to create parts layer by layer, directly from .stl files. The parts are created in a variety ofPrinting- 3D
geometrics including undercuts, overhangs and internal volumes.
- is used to start, pause, or abort in the printing process.Operator Panel
- is the final process to remove support material from parts and clean the parts to a smooth finish prior to surfacePost Processing(Finishing)
finishing and coating.
- is a paste-like acrylic compound that is an ultraviolet (UV) curable material.Print Material
P*rint Pad* - this single use part is used by the printer to print parts. Support structures link the print to the print pad and must be removed from
the printer once complete.
- this part is used by the printer to build parts. The print pad adheres to the platform and the support structures of the printPrint Platform
attaches to the pad.
- is used to setup, run, and manage print jobs.ProJet Software
- Coats the material.Scraper Bar
- is used to adjust for expected shrinkage during the build so actual part dimensions moreShrink Comparison Percentage (Shrink Comp %)
closely match actual dimensions.
