Once the printing process is finished, it is necessary to insert a model into a special Zortrax DSS station in order to obtain a smooth model’ s surface that is free of any material residue. Zortrax 3D printers together with the Z-SUITE and dedicated materials guarantee achieving high quality prints.
Page 4: General Safety Information
Due to the size and specificity, Zortrax devices are not intended for use by children under the age of 14 and by people with reduced manual, motor and psychomotor skills.
