System Overview 1
Chapter 1 - System Overview
The 3Z Series Model Making System renders high precision, three dimensional (3D) models
from CAD model files. The system consists of all the hardware and software necessary to
fabricate models and prepare them for final processing. Applications program that resides on
the printer provide local control over the model making unit. The operator’s Windows
workstation and support material removal equipment are not included in the system. See Figure
1-1 3Z Model Making System
Figure 1-1 3Z Model Making System
The primary steps of model making with a 3Z Series consist of:
Selecting one or more model files and, from them, preparing a model making job file at
the operator’s workstation.
Transferring the job from the operator’s workstation to the model making system via a
USB flash drive or a local network.
Checking and adding consumables to the model making system as needed. Preparing
the build plate.
Initiating the currently loaded job in the model making system.
Waiting for the job to complete.
Removing the build plate from the system and removing the composite model from the
build plate.
Dewaxing, i.e., removing, the sacrificial (support) material from the model.
Note: Always use the Stylus provided with the printer to touch the front panel
screen.

System Overview

1.1 LED Status Indicators
There are four status indicator lights on the 3Z Series model making system. The two on the left
of the touch panel are the Green (Power) indicator and the Blue (Busy) indicator. The two on the
right of the control panel are the Yellow (Caution) and Red (Intervention) indicators. The
indicators can be off, blinking, or steady on. The table in Figure 1-2 shows the status of the
printer as indicated by the LED status indicators.
Power Busy Caution Intervention
Figure 1-2 LED Status Indicators
1.2 Touch Panel
Operator input to a 3Z Series printer is provided through a touch screen. The printer provides
feedback to the operator via the front panel display. 3Z Touch remote runs on any remote,
networked Windows workstation. The remotely operated screen provides the operator with the
exact same look, feel and level of control as the front panel of the printer. However there are
several functions that require close proximity to the system at the time they are performed and,
under normal circumstances, these functions should not be initiated remotely. See Figure 1-3.

detailed information and operational control. The corresponding Ready/Status indicators are
shown to the right. There is no Ready/Status indicator for Idle.
The 8 basic scenarios are:
1. Initialization - The printer is initializing and resetting hardware and
software components during a reset, power up, or recovery.
2. Idle - The printer has initialized properly and is either ready to print or is waiting for
the build plate and/or file to be loaded.
3. Printing - The printer is in the process of printing a job.
4. Pause - The printer has been paused by the user.
5. Job Complete - Printer has completed the job and the cover has opened.
6. Auto Recovery - The printer is recovering from an abnormal operation.
7. Intervention - The printer has paused and is waiting for assistance
Click on the icon for further information.
8. Standby - The temperatures of the tanks, heated lines and printheads
are set to a lower value.
The Network status icon indicates the connection status between the printer and the network.
The network status is illustrated below
.
1. Printer connected to the network. Available to multiple users.
2. Printer connected to the network with a second user accessing
the printer via 3Z Touch Remote.
3. Printer locked so printer cannot be accessed from the network
(Local control only).
4. Pinter not connected to the network (Local control only).

System Overview 5
1.3 3Z Organizer – 3Z Print – 3Z Works – 3Z Analyzer
There are four separate, Windows based applications programs associated with the 3Z Series
Model Making System and its operation. They are all installed and run on the operator’s
workstation and constitute an integral part of the model making process. Details regarding the
installation and operation of the 3Z Works, 3Z Analyzer, 3Z Print and 3Z Organizer programs
are provided in the 3Z Works User’s Manual, P/N 840202, which is available on the Solidscape
3Z Series Software Flash Drive, P/N 945087
WARNING: Be sure to install 3Z Organizer, 3Z Print, 3ZWorks, and 3Z Analyzer
and from the FLASH DRIVE provided with your new Model Making
System to ensure that the latest versions of software and
configuration files are installed on your PC.
3Z Organizer
The 3Z Organizer is the primary interface between the operator’s workstation and the
3Z Printer. The program is started and then runs invisibly in the background. When an STL,
SLC file or a folder with numerous files are dragged / copied into the 3Z Organizer Queue
folder, the file(s) are automatically retrieved and processed through the printer driver.
3Z Printer Driver
The printer driver appears and functions similar to other windows based printer drivers.
The operator first selects the desired printing parameters and then selects the PRINT
button. The printer driver processes the file and then automatically sends the completed file
to the desired printer or a pre-defined file folder.
3Z Works
3Z Works is a Windows application program that runs on the operator’s workstation. It
allows the operator access to more detailed controls with regard to file preparation. Controls
include positioning and orienting model files and other advanced operations. The resultant
.3zp or .3zs file can then be sent to the printer system via the printer driver or a USB flash
drive. 3Z Works automatically generates all support structures required to build the model.

System Overview
6
3Z Analyzer
3Z Analyzer is a Windows application program that runs on the operator’s workstation. It
permits job file viewing, analysis and correction of the job file for pre-build evaluation, repair
and diagnostic purposes. It also allows the operator to view the job file one ‘slice’ at a time
exactly as it will be printed on the system. This tool is valuable for observing features,
searching for potential defects and identifying anomalies from the 3D CAD process that
appear to represent a unified solid model but in fact have internal seams or voids that will
ultimately result in several separate model pieces or other model defects. Anomalous layers
can be removed or replaced to permit successful model building despite CAD model
defects. Break points can be inserted into job files to permit the system to pause when that
layer has been completed on the 3Z Printer.

Power on Procedure 7
Chapter 2 – Power On Procedure
This section provides complete instructions for preparing the system and initiating a print job.
Careful adherence to preparation is essential to producing good quality models. Failure to
perform, or short cutting, any of the specified procedures may result in a malfunction and
compromise the operation of the system and/or the quality of the models produced.
Job preparation includes both of the procedures listed below when the system is powered off
and, under those conditions, requires approximately eight hours. Under normal conditions, i.e.,
when the system is powered on and at operating temperatures, only the second procedure is
required. Performing the New Job Startup Procedure typically takes a trained operator
approximately five minutes.
1. Pre Power On Procedure Section 2.1
2. Power On Procedure Section 2.2
2.1 Pre Power-On Procedure
This procedure is typically performed only during a new installation or after a system has been
moved or relocated. Step 4 through Step 7 of this procedure must also be performed after the
vacuum filter has been replaced. All references to the ‘unit’ refer to the actual 3Z Series printer.
1. Confirm that the unit is powered off by pressing the ‘0’, side of the power switch on the left
rear corner of the unit.
2. Confirm that the unit power cord is plugged into the unit power entry socket.
3. Confirm that the other end of the unit power cord is plugged into an appropriate power
outlet.
4. Confirm that the vacuum has a clean bag installed.
5. Confirm that one end of the vacuum control cable is plugged into the vacuum switch box.
6. Confirm that the other end of the vacuum control cable is plugged into the printer.
7. Confirm that the vacuum power cord is plugged into the vacuum switch box.
8. Confirm that the vacuum switch box is plugged into an appropriate power outlet
Note: There are several different vacuum configurations associated with the system based
on the local voltage and regulatory requirements. A summary of vacuum
configurations and wiring is provided in Appendix C Vacuums.
2.2 Power-On Procedure
This procedure is performed on every power up and serves as a check to confirm that the unit
and its subsystems initialize correctly.
