1.5.1 Description and Definitions
1.5.1 Description and Definitions
Depending on the model of the ProJet 3000 3-D Production System, your system features different types of build styles to meet a variety of model
making applications. Please refer to Features and Benefits that will describe your extended choices for your particular system.
Description and Definitions
The High Definition (HD) Mode allows the user rapid model making capability on a full platform. This mode produces high quality parts
for concept models, verification designs and patterns for casting.
The Ultra High Definition (UHD) Mode allows the users to build extremely high resolution parts with exceptional surface finish and
superior accuracy. Models build in UHD mode are typically used for show models, fit testing and direct manufacturing using patterns for
investment casting of jewelry and small components.
Expanded UHD Mode: Provides the user with an Expanded Ultra High Definition (UHD) mode build envelope.
Expanded XHD Mode: Provides the user access to the new Extreme High Definition (XHD) Mode that features a new print resolution
with the same expanded build envelope available in UHD.
Email Notification: Provides email notification to the user when their job begins, completes, aborts and if the system is low on material
at any time during their build. Users can set their defaults and make changes as to what emails they will receive via the Job Options
window.
Part Stacking and Nesting
The new ProJet 3-D Production System, features part stacking and nesting capability in both build modes. The user can now utilize the entire
build volume by stacking parts vertically in the z-direction to fill up the entire build envelop with parts. The user can control the space between
layers to minimize support material usage and build time. Now, hours can be saved by stacking parts and submitting single, long builds overnight
and weekends.
Bounding Box Display Added to Print Preview
A few new features have been added to Print Preview to allow it to handle up to two gigabytes of part data on a single build.
The has been added to Print Preview to allow file sizes that were previously too large for Print Preview to loadBounding Box Display
successfully. The Bounding Box Display only displays the bounding extents of a given geometry and does not try to resolve the triangles
required to display an entire geometry. See .Section 8.1 Preview Build Job

Job Submission Checking has also been added. Both the 3-D Modeling Client and Print Preview now check to make sure that the
maximum allowable accumulated build file size on the machine is not exceeded during job submission. The maximum threshold for job
submission is roughly two gigabytes or 40,000,000 triangles. See Section 8.3 Submit a Build Job
The new production system introduces new enhancements including an expanded build envelope for the UHDProJet™ HD 3000plus
build mode, the new XHD build mode and email notification.

03.0 Safety Guidelines

Before using the modeler, your company should have a safety program in place. The safety program should:
Label and point out hazardous equipment, materials, and procedures.
Explain what to do in case of an emergency.
Provide information about hazards of equipment and materials in the form of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs). The MSDSs are
provided with all materials supplied by 3D Systems.
3.1 General
3.2 Electrical
3.3 Ultraviolet (UV) Light
3.1 General
The modeler is designed with built in safety features, improper use and malfunctions can cause injury to personnel. To prevent unsafe operation,
the modeler will automatically shut down if unsafe conditions are detected.
Follow these safety guidelines when operating the modeler:
Read and follow all modeler instructions.
Follow all safety rules and heed all cautions and warnings in this guide.
Do not attempt to open chamber door while build in progress.
Do not use any material without reviewing the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
Dress power and communication cables behind modeler to prevent tripping.
Do not attempt to access, service, or adjust modeler components. Do not attempt to perform any maintenance procedures unless
specifically trained to do so.
Operators are trained to operate system and perform all necessary tasks to create a part.
Certified service personnel are those who completed the 3D Systems service training package and certified to perform service tasks. Certification
may occur at different levels, and service providers should only perform tasks they are authorized and certified to complete.
Do not ignore warning signs posted during modeler service operations.
If an error message appears on the modeler's LCD refer to Section within this guide before resuming operation.10.0 Error Messages
To prevent potential skin-irritation and sensitization due to contact with waste material, follow all guidelines within .Build Material Safety
To prevent pinch and crush injuries to the hand, use caution when replacing platform inside the build chamber.
3.2 Electrical
DANGERHazardous voltage exists inside the modeler. Injury or death from electrical shock can result if you remove the printer's
external panels. Panels should only be removed for service by trained and certified 3D Systems Technical Support
personnel.
To prevent electrical shock, the modeler will not operate unless external panels are installed. service ratingVerify facility's electrical before you
connect power to the modeler.
3.3 Ultraviolet (UV) Light
CAUTION
Hazardous UV radiation exists inside the modeler build chamber during build job. Eye injury or blindness can result if
chamber door is opened while a build job is in progress. If a build job is running, abort build job before attempting to open
chamber door.
