INTRODUCTION This guide provides you with information on how to properly prepare your facility for the ProX 950. This chapter introduces you to the ProX 950 machine and other system components —including lists of other support equipment and supplies that you will find helpful in setting up your facility.
The 3DPrint™software utilizes the ProX 950 controller computer, which is an integrated part of the ProX 950. The 3DManage™ software is installed on a separate, Android tablet, which is mounted to the right side of the ProX 950. The following are the minimum computer configuration requirements for the part...
SITE SELECTION - PROX 950 This section provides the requirements and recommendations to determine the most appropriate location for a highly functional, efficient ProX 950 workspace, with room for other equipment and supplies. “Initial Site Survey Checklist” To help you choose a location, refer to Appendix A. The provides the attributes that you need to select the best location for your installation.

REMOTE OPERATION USING WEB CAM (OPTIONAL) With the ProX 950 , a Web cam, or network camera, can monitor the build status or assist in remotely operating the system. The build chamber provides two Web cam mounting Appendix C locations.
4 SITE SELECTION - PRO CURE UV™ CHAMBER Locating the ProCure 1500 UV Chamber is similar in many respects to the ProX 950. The following abbreviated site specifica- tions are for the ProCure UV Chamber: SPACE AND LOCATION SELECTION The ProCure UV Chamber should be located in an appropriate room or location adjoining the ProX 950. Refer to...

PREPARATION FOR RECEIVING Being that the ProX 950 crate is quite large, have an adequate forklift available before you begin to unload the crate from the shipping truck. Make sure that the available forklift, or other lifting device, can handle the load during unloading and during de- (See Figure 13b crating.
TRANSPORTING THE PROX 950 When the 3D Systems Field Engineer arrives, and the crate is opened, use a forklift to lift the system. Refer to the following diagrams illustrating the forklift points. Figure 13b: Fork lift points - Recommended fork length is 2m (6.5 ft)
• Functioning network connection of a computer to the SLA system. If no network is available, ensure a computer is in close proximity to the SLA system during your installation appointment. • Web Cam —with the ProX 950 , a web cam may be installed to monitor the build status. Recommended Web Cam is Panasonic KX-HCM280.
1.8 m (6 ft) forks (2.0 m (6.5 ft) is recommended) and typically carry a rating of at least 2404 kg (5300 lb.) for the ProX 950 that is crated and 1769 kg (3900 lb.) uncrated. Be very careful not to tilt the crate.
Federal Laser Product Performance Standards 21CFR1040.10 Class I laser in normal operation and/or bypass mode. During field service, emission levels correspond to a Class IV laser product. The ProX 950 complies with CE requirements. Note: You are responsible for determining whether additional supplies and equipment are necessary according to local, state, federal or other regulatory laws that govern your location.
Can the required equipment and accessories be located either in the same room or in an adjoining (See page room to the ProX 950 ? Is the air conditioning adequate for that area? (See page...
APPENDIX B: PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION CHECKLIST The following list helps you to prepare for your ProX 950. Prior to scheduling the installation appointment with a 3D Systems representative, complete the checklist and fax it to your 3D Systems Customer Support Engineer.
APPENDIX C: THIRD PARTY SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT 3D Systems™ provides this partial list of equipment and supplies of relevant accessories or supplies that are useful for handling, processing or finishing SLA parts. Equipment and supplies are not limited to this list, and other vendors may provide similar or like products.
