Page 12: Floor Specifications
05.3 Floor Specifications Floor Area Floors and counter spaces in the ProJet™ 7000 work area should be nonporous and suitable for cleaning with solvents. Do not install the ProJet™ 7000 on carpeted floors. The feet of the system should be on a non-resilient surface such as bare concrete. The machine should not straddle any floor seams. -
Page 13: Room Size
05.4 Room Size The total floor area required by a ProJet™ 7000 varies depending on user preferences, building codes, and the space required for storage. The room should have a minimum ceiling height of 243.84 cm, (96 in) The dashed outer lines show the space required around the system for operation, maintenance and service. -
Page 14: Electrical Requirements
05.5 Electrical Requirements Power Requirements Voltage Current Frequency Phase 100 VAC 15 amps 50/60 Hz 1 phase 115 VAC 15 amps 50/60 Hz 1 phase 230 VAC 8 amps 50/60 Hz 1 phase The system requires a dedicated, surge- and spike-protected circuit. Use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is strongly recommended in areas where power fluctuations are frequent, as surges and spikes can cause damage to electronic components and loss of power can result in failed builds. -
Page 15: Client Workstation Requirements To Operate 3Dmanage
Prior to installing the software, ensure that the initially selected workstation meets the following minimum specifications. The specifications described represent 3D Systems tested minimum "baseline" configuration for using the client software. It is recommended that this workstation be further enhanced for maximum performance, particularly with more powerful processors and added memory. -
Page 16: Network Interface
05.7 Network Interface Ethernet Interface The system workstation includes a Class A Ethernet interface, which can be used for connection to a Windows NT/Windows 7, part preparation workstation. This interface transmits files from the workstation to the ProJet™ 7000. The Ethernet connection is accomplished via 10/100BaseT Class A Ethernet cable with a maximum length of 182.00 m (600 ft). -
Page 17: Safety Information
05.8 Safety Information It is your responsibility to ensure that areas in which the ProJet™ 7000 and print materials are used or stored and that personnel operating the equipment comply with all relevant safety codes and laws, particularly those relating to hazardous chemicals and laser radiation. The system conforms to Federal Laser Product Performance Standards 21CFR1040.10 Class I laser in normal operation. -
Page 18: Print Material Handling And Safety
The photopolymers used in the print materials may be hazardous if handled improperly. Repeated skin contact with print materials may cause sensitization. Consult the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for information on specific print materials. For further information on this and related topics, consult the 3D Systems - Materials website. CAUTION Never mix different print materials. - Page 19 In-Service Life - In-Service Life of the VisiJet ProJet 7000 materials is defined as the useful life of the material after having been poured into the ProJet 7000 print tray. The In-Service Life of the Projet 7000 material greatly varies depending on material type, usage and environmental conditions.
- Page 20 Contamination - Care should be taken when cleaning windows, panels, and other parts of the ProJet™ 7000. Cleaning products which contain ammonia, should not be used because they can cause contamination of the material. Instead use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel to clean up spills. Accidental contamination of resins may change the material's performance characteristics to such an extent that acceptable parts can no longer be reliably created.

Page 22: Air Quality And Temperature
06.1 Air Quality and Temperature Air Quality The room housing the ProJet™ 7000 should be well ventilated. Reasonable care should be taken to minimize dust and smoke which could contaminate the print material and cause deterioration of optical surfaces. Avoid temperature fluctuation (see below). Since dust, smoke and temperature fluctuations can affect the performance of the machine and the quality of the parts, a restricted area with positive pressure filtered air flow is recommended. -
Page 23: Humidity
06.2 Humidity Humidity The optimal humidity in the ProJet™ 7000 build chamber and lab will depend to a certain degree on the print material selection. Regardless, the humidity should always be non-condensing and should not vary outside the range of 20-50%. Review the material information (M.S.D.S./S.D.S, product datasheet, and product labeling) for specific information on recommended humidity levels. -
Page 24: Lighting
06.3 Lighting Standard fluorescent lamps with clear plastic diffusers are recommended to minimize ultraviolet exposure, which could negatively affect the print material. UV filters are available for windows and exposed fluorescent lamps. Make certain to avoid the following: Sunlight, quartz-halogen lamps, and high-intensity incandescent lamps are not suitable. UV-intensive lighting or ultraviolet exposure through windows should be avoided. -
Page 25: Vibration And Shock
06.4 Vibration and Shock Floor Vibration and Shock The system is a precision mechanical and optical machine that is sensitive to vibration. In order to ensure part quality and accuracy, a ground floor location with a concrete floor, (miminum of 4 inches thick) is recommended. The ProJet™... -
