2UNCRATING THE MACHINE
INSPECT EXTERIOR OF CRATE
Visually inspect the exterior of the crate for any damage that may
have occurred during shipping. Notify shipping carrier immediately
to le a claim if any damage is evident at this point. DO NOT
proceed with the uncrating until you have discussed the damage
with 3D Systems.
NOTE: Uncrating the ProX® SLS 6100 will require at
least two people to safely remove the each panel.
1. Located on the side of the crate is the “clip removeal tool”. It
is secured under a clip. To release the tool, grab the handle
and pull it towards you to pop out the rst clip.
NOTE: To keep clips from popping off too quickly
you may want to hold your hand over the top of the
clip.
2. Using at least a 5 foot sized ladder, remove the (12) clips
from the side of the crate as shown. Remove and place
panel to the side.
3. Remove the remaining (8) clips that secure the top panel.
Carefully slide/guide the top crate panel towards the other
side of the crate until it reaches a tipping point. Tip and
lower the panel to the ground. Set panel to the side.
4. Remove the (6) clips (circled in red) from one side of the
crate panel. Remove panel and place to the side. Repeat
step on opposite side.

The SLS Single MQC System is an integral part of the ProX®6100 3D Printer. It is responsible for properly regulating and
controlling the SLS material used to print parts with the ProX®6100, as well as breaking out parts from the print cake.
Breakout Controls: This roller switch allows the user to turn the sifter ON or OFF.
Blended Material Bin: Material which is a combination of used material and fresh material is stored for production use
in this hopper. The system handles this automatically.
Fresh Material Input: Fresh material is loaded at this location. The user must scan the RFID tag on the container
across the RFID reader.
RFID Reader: The RFID reader is used to scan the RFID tag of the material container. This ensures that the system
keeps track of material quantity and fresh-to-new powder ratios. The tag must be scanned to unlock the Fresh Material
input doors and add the material to the system.
Breakout Area: The print cake is brought here using the Print Transfer Cart Assembly.
Reject Chute: Spent material (as determined by the user) is loaded into the reject chute.
Thermocouples: Two temperature gauges for the print cake are used to determine whether or not the print cake has
cooled suciently before breaking out the parts.
Nitrogen Blanket: This lid is placed on top of a lled print cake cylinder to control the cooldown of the print cake using
nitrogen.
Stowaway Area: Underneath the breakout area, there is a space which can be used to store part extraction cylinders
when they are not in use.
Sifter: The user removes the parts from the print cake in the breakout area and places the material for reuse into the
sifter. After sifting, the material will be transported to the blended material bin.
