At A Glance
The three dimensional solid partsconsist of two materials (support material and part
material). The support material is a wax based material providing adhesion to print
platform, as well as, providing material used to produce supports required to build the your
part.
The part material is an ultraviolet (UV) curable material. After a layer of material is
deposited onthe build plate, the part is exposed to a UV ash lamp. The UV energy is
absorbed by the material converting a liquid part material to a solid polymer. When the build
is complete, the part (consisting of the two materials) is adhered to the print platformby
means of the support material).
The material delivery module consist of four material cartridge holders; the two left side
holders are for the support material (white) cartridges. The right side of the module are for
two part material (black) cartridges. Once materials are heated, they are fed to the
printhead. Material waste is generated by two processes; cleaning the printhead array plate
and planarization. The cleaning process involves purging jets and wiping the printhead array
plate. The planarizer removes excess material during the print process.The combined
waste materials are then periodically emptied into the waste bag. The printhead cleaning
process is invoked automatically prior to starting a build.
After the build is complete, the print platformand the part arethen removed from the
printer. A secondary operation, known as post processing, is required to provide
anished/cleaned part. Refer to your ProJet® Post Processing Guide for more information.
