Printer Overview - HP Designjet 3D Service Manual

Printer overview

HP Designjet 3D Printer and HP Designjet Color 3D Printer build models
from CAD STL files. The printer builds three-dimensional parts by extruding a
bead of ABS material through a computer-controlled extrusion head,
producing high quality parts that are ready to use immediately after
completion.
HP Designjet 3D Printer and HP Designjet Color 3D Printer consist of two
primary components — the 3D printer and material bay. HP Designjet 3D
Software Solution is the preprocessing software that runs on Windows XP
Pro, Windows Vista or Windows 7 platforms.
HP Designjet 3D Printer builds a maximum part size of 8 x 6 x 6 in (203 x
152 x 152 mm). HP Designjet Color 3D Printer builds a maximum part size
of 8 x 8 x 6 in (203 x 203 x 152 mm). Each material carrier contains 40 cu.
in (700 cc) of usable material — enough to build continuously for about 48
hours without reloading. You can add an optional second material bay for
extended build times.
