5 Printer Delivery
5.1 Unpacking the Printer
Your Envision One printer will arrive in a wooden crate with a series of accessories boxes. The crate and boxes will
all be on top of a pallet. They will need to be taken to the site using a forklift or a pallet jack. Alternatively, the crate
and accessories boxes can be removed from the pallet and gently set on a dolly.
•Crate: Envision One cDLM, Starter Kit, USB drive
•Optional Boxes: Parts curing apparatus, PWA 2000 (parts washing apparatus), and battery backup if
purchased.
These tools are required to complete the unboxing process:
•Box cutter/scissors
•Flathead screwdriver
•Hi-Lo/dolly
•One helper.
Before opening the box, make sure that no visible damage can be observed, or any sensors are broken. If these
are present, please inform the office immediately.
If everything is in good condition:
1. Carefully cut the plastic wrap.
2. Remove the two boxes from the pallet.
3. Place the External Components box on a sturdy work surface, and place the Oxygen Concentrator box on
the floor nearby.
4. Remove the clips from the crate using a systematic approach. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry the metal
crate fasteners from the corners.
5. To remove the L brackets from the crate, slide the screwdriver under the end of the bracket with a break
in the metal. Leverage the bracket up, one side at a time until the bracket comes free from the crate. Take
the stack of brackets and set them off to the side. They will be used again to store the crate.
6. Disassemble the last removable side of the crate, remove the padding from the top and sides. Remove
the printer from the crate with a helper and place the printer on a stable desktop.

5.3 Positioning the Printer
IMPORTANT
Risk of damage to the printer!
Incorrect positioning of the printer can cause damage to the printer and and/or to the built parts.
Please, follow the guidelines!
The Envision One needs to be installed on a sturdy surface that can comfortably hold over 75 pounds (34 kg). The
printer requires a minimum amount of space for operation, maintenance, and heat dissipation.
•A minimum of 18 inches (46 cm) behind the printer
•A minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) on the left and right side of the printer
•A minimum of 48 inches (122 cm) above the table-top
The printer requires an oxygen concentrator in order to print. The concentrator weighs 11.9 lb (5.4 kg) and is made
to sit on the floor near the printer. The concentrator connects to the printer via a 6-foot long tube and as such, the
concentrator must be within 6 feet (183 cm) of the printer to allow room for slack.
Place the oxygen concentrator so that there is at least 12″ (30 cm) of space between the concentrator and any
walls, curtains, or other obstructions.
IMPORTANT
Leave a space for oxygen concentrator!
The concentrator dimensions are 12.2” (31cm)×6.5”(16.5 cm)×12.2”(31cm)

6 Printer Components
This chapter contains a comprehensive overview of the construction and the function of the printer. It should be
read when actually at the printer in order to get familiar with the printer in an optimal way.
6.1 Functional Description
During the build process, the model is built layer by layer. A mechanical system moves the build platform up so that
the cured material sticks to the build platform or to the previous layer.
Before starting the build process, certain calibrations must be performed at the factory.
The material is then directly poured into the material tray. The job is transferred to the printer through Envision One
RP® software or via USB drive. The build process begins.
After the build process has finished, the models are removed from the build platform using a scraper and treated
according to the corresponding Material Best Practice guide.
6.2 Construction of the Printer
Figures below give an overview of the most important printer components and show their position on the printer.
