Pumps
Handling
Printing
Materials
Printing materials (resins) are flammable –Do not expose them to flames, heat or
sparks.
Keep resins away from food and drink.
Uncured resin is toxic - minimize direct contact with the skin to prevent irritation
and other health hazards. Prolonged contact may cause burns.
Always wear protective gloves.
First Aid for
Working with
Resins
If respiratory irritation occurs, expose the victim to fresh air immediately.
If uncured resin comes in contact with the eyes, flush immediately with large
amounts of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
When handling resins or material containers, wear protective goggles to
prevent uncured resin from splashing into the eyes.
If uncured resin comes in contact with the skin, wash the area immediately with
soap and cool water.
General Safety
Rules
Be familiar with the locations and use of safety equipment.
Do not use broken equipment. Machinery with moving parts must have a working
safety interlock, and a protective cover over the moving parts.
Do not open the cover while printer is operating.
If open, do not stare at the UV light and use protective eyewear to prevent exposure to
UV light.

CAD (Computer-Aided Design)
A file format used for producing
models on Objet printers.
SW for preparing the
tray for print.
Sends the print job to the
printer & manages the queue.
STL (Standard Triangulation
Language) and assemblies
SW used by engineers and
Architects for designing models
Objet Studio/ GrabCAD
Job Manager
Deliver the material to the print block.
Pumps
Keeps the material from leaking out of the head block.
Vacuum
2 model and 2 support cartridges
Material Cartridges
Contains the prints head and printing material.
Moves in X and Y direction (2-D)
Print Block
1 model & 1 support jet liquid material through
nozzles onto the tray .
Print Heads
Flattens and smoothens the layer
Cures the jetted material
UV Lamp
Moves down on the z-axis
Build Tray (z-axis)
wipes the print heads during purge sequence
Wiper
Excess material is transferred to the waste container
the roller bath and wiper bath.
Waste Container
Roller
Printed model
Cleans the printed model by

OVERVIEW

•PolyJet materials are acrylic-based photopolymers
•Photopolymer is a polymer that cures, or becomes solid, when exposed to light.
(in our case: UV light)
•When exposed to UV light the material is transformed from a soluble formulation
into a hard polymer network –the model!
