1Disclaimer
Please read this Installation and User Manual carefully to avoid injury or loss of performance and
damage to the Procusini®. Make sure that everyone who uses the 3D printer has read and
understood the contents of this manual so that you can take full advantage of the Procusini®'s
capabilities.
The conditions or procedures for the assembly, handling, storage, use or disposal* of the device are beyond our
control and knowledge. Therefore, for this reason and others, we expressly disclaim liability for loss and for any
injury, damage or expense arising out of or in connection with the assembly, handling, storage, use or disposal
of this product*.
The information contained in this document has been obtained from what we believe to be reliable sources.
Nevertheless, we cannot assume any guarantee, either explicit or indirect, with regard to their correctness.
1.1 Intended use of the Procusini®
Procusini® is an easy-to-use 3D food printer for use in commercial kitchens, such as hotels, catering, event
catering and bakery/pastry.
Procusini® 3D food printers have been designed and manufactured for the fused deposition modeling process
using Procusini® food in a commercial/business environment. Although we have achieved a very high standard
in the reproduction of 3D models using the Procusini® Club, it is the responsibility of the user to qualify and
validate the application of the printed object for the intended purpose; this is especially true for applications in
regulated areas such as catering, event catering and bakery/pastry. Although the product is a platform suitable
for many materials, the best results are nevertheless obtained with foodstuffs intended for this purpose by
Procusini®, as the material properties have been optimally adapted to the machine settings.
The food is filled into food-safe cartridges or is available as food-safe refill sets, so-called refills for cartridges.
These cartridges are inserted into the cartridge holder and, if necessary, heated to a temperature defined for
the food. During this process, the food in the cartridge has no contact with the device.
The printing plate represents the X-axis and serves as a support surface for the silicone mat to be printed.
* We comply with the WEEE directive
