ground lead.
• Know the location of equipment branch circuit interrupters or circuit breakers and how to
turn them on and off in case of emergency.
• Know the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them. Use only ABC type
extinguishers on electrical fires.
• Know local procedures for first aid and emergency assistance at the customer facility.
• Use adequate lighting at the equipment.

About the V650 Flex Printer
The Stratasys V650 Flex 3D printers incorporate the latest in innovative technology to provide
you with precise prototypes from a CAD design. The V650 Flex 3D printer is capable of
building parts up to 20 x 20 x 23 inches in size, using stereolithography technology. The
printer’s open architecture allows it to be used with any commercially available resin. When
paired with SolidView Build Preparation software, job files may be adapted to build parts with
any resin. The V650 Flex printer is controlled by PC-based Phoenix machine-control software,
which is accessed via a user-friendly touch-screen interface.

How to Use This Guide
This guide provides information for selecting an appropriate location for the V650 Flex printer.
This guide also provides instructions for unpacking and preliminary set-up. Information of
particular importance is presented in one of three formats:
Site Prep Tasks
Selecting the Site
Decide where to install the printer based on the following:
1. Floor Surface
2. Space Requirements: See “Physical Specifications and Space Requirements” (page 3).
3. Environmental Requirements: See “Environmental Requirements” (page 7).
4. Electrical Requirements: See “Electrical Requirements” (page 9).
5. LAN Requirements: See “LAN Requirements” (page 10).
A Warning: indicates a procedure that may cause injury to an operator if the
procedure is not followed.
A Warning: will precede the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
A Caution: indicates a procedure that may cause damage to equipment if the
procedure is not followed.
A Caution: will precede the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
A NOTE is used to highlight a specific point or to provide an operational tip. While
useful, a NOTE does not indicate a procedure that can cause injury or damage if it is
not followed.
A NOTE will follow the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
The V650 Flex printer does not have casters. Due to the size of the printer, a
forklift is required to move the system to an un-boxing location and to the final
selected installation site.
The V650 Flex printer requires a vibration-free, stable and level working surface
for installation. It must be a single slab of concrete without any seams between
any of the printer feet. The level surface must extend outside the printer and be
free of any bumps or dips so that a vat containing liquid resin can be wheeled in
and out of the lower chamber.

Physical Specifications and Space Requirements
Dimensions and Weights
Make sure that the installation site floor space can accommodate the printer’s weight and
dimensions, plus required clearances. Use the dimensions shown below to determine required
sizes for doorways through which the printer may be transported. The suggested minimum
doorway size is 84 inches high x 48 inches wide [213 cm x 122 cm]. Also consider the need for
the unit to be raised onto a fork-lift when being moved.
