Preparing ProX DMP 320

Always use appropriate safety equipment when operating the ProX
DMP320 . The feeds can be adjusted in DMP Deposition .
Fill the feeds with the material . Add about 100mm of powder then
thrust a stainless steel trowel in the powder a few times to compact
the powder . Continue with adding and compacting until the needed
amount is added to the feeds . Make sure that the feeds are equally
filled and there is enough material to complete the job. Multiply the
job height by 1 .25 to get the amount of material needed to have a
successful build . Example: If the job height is 100mm then each feed
has to have 125mm of material installed .
Because the feed have to move down while inerting you can only fill
up the feed bins for 320mm. If more powder is needed for a build, fill
the build shute with 140mm of extra powder and, after inerting, move
this powder to the feed bins with the coater .
WARNING: Any time powder material is handled (i .e .,
refilling, sifting, changing, etc.) make sure you are
either standing on an anti-static mat, or you are wearing
a grounding strap that is attached to the module so that
you are grounded to the machine . Always pour or scoop
slowly from as close to surface as possible to avoid
producing dust from material . It is also advised that the
vacuum dust extractor be over top of the bin .
CAUTION: The print plate must be compatible with the print material .
