AUXILIARY PANEL GEN III
The auxiliary panel is located on the right side of the system and accessed from the access panels. With the
MAC board interface and control, the auxiliary panel provides two primary functions; vacuum generation and air
drying. These functions are performed using an external compressed air source (non-lubricated) at 90-120 psi).
Because of the large build area offered by the F900, two separate vacuum zones on the vacuum platen are
provided. The zones are identified as the “inner” and “outer” and permit use of either large or small build sheets.
Dried air is supplied to the filament feed path of the system making sure that material delivered to the head does
not become contaminated by moisture that could cause part quality issues.
