16. Glossary Of Terms

CAD/CAM-- Computer-aided design (CAD) systems in engineering and computer-aid manufacturing (CAM) systems are joined together to
produce a product.
Cartridge - this single use device meters proprietary resin housed within the cartridge for precise layering to build a part layer upon layer; the
device has a RFID label to ensure optimum build performance.
Chamber Door - the chamber door prevents harmful UV radiation from escaping the printer chamber during the print process. The chamber door
must be closed prior to starting or resuming a print job and is locked when printing is in progress.
Log File - is a text file used for obtaining information for resolving potential problems that may occur with the modeler.
Door Interlock - this device insures the printer cannot be opened while a model is being built unless the modeler is placed into a pause mode.
Elevator Motors - (Right and Left Elevator motors)- these two motors (left and right) control the build pad height and angle used to add layers to
the model, reduce air entrapment between layers, and alter the separation force between the Resin Transfer Film and the model during the build
process.
Home Switches - these switches are also located on the elevator assemblies and tell the modeler when the build pad is parked in the home
position for installation of a new pad or removal of a pad after a completed print.
Image Plane - frame with precision optical glass upon which images are projected. The Resin Transfer Film provides a precisely controlled layer
of resin which is used to add another layer to the print which is being built.
Imager - (Imager, Imager fans, Imager Power, Imager Registration, Imager Temp Sensor) - this is a proprietary imaging device used to print the
individual layers of the print. Imager resolution and our proprietary algorithms control the model geometry, flatness, distortion, and other aspects
of model quality. Imager Fans and the
that properly calibrated imagers are used with each printer.
Imager Lamp (Imager Lamp, DVI, Imager Control)
insure proper resin cure during the print process. Digital data is used to build each print. Imager Control monitors and controls imager status.
Job Scale Percentage (Job Scale %)
Material Cover - Used to cover the material tray during curing process.
Material Quailty Guarantee
quality.
Material Tray - Hold the material during the printing process.
Printing- 3D - Process for rapid and flexible production to create parts layer by layer, directly from .stl files. The parts are created in a variety of
geometrics including undercuts, overhangs and internal volumes.
Operator Panel - is used to start, pause, or abort in the printing process.
Post Processing(Finishing)
finishing and coating.
Print Material - is a paste-like acrylic compound that is an ultraviolet (UV) curable material.
P*rint Pad* - this single use part is used by the printer to print parts. Support structures link the print to the print pad and must be removed from
the printer once complete.
Print Platform - this part is used by the printer to build parts. The print pad adheres to the platform and the support structures of the print
attaches to the pad.
ProJet Software - is used to setup, run, and manage print jobs.
Scraper Bar - Coats the material.
Shrink Comparison Percentage (Shrink Comp %)
closely match actual dimensions.
.stl File -- is a 3-dimensional solid Computer-aided design (CAD) software system used to produce prints.
Imager Temp Sensor
- this is a replaceable item. Replace when printer notifies that the lamp life is expiring to
- is used to resize parts during the build process.
- the printer reads an encrypted RFID tag on the cartridge to communicate parameters and ensure optimum print
- is the final process to remove support material from parts and clean the parts to a smooth finish prior to surface
- is used to adjust for expected shrinkage during the build so actual part dimensions more
- are used to maintain the proper imager temperature. Imager Registration insures
