DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

D4 System:

Purpose: The ZD4 Depowdering Station assists in the removal of powder from parts created

with Z Corporation 3D Printers.

Depowdering Station allows you to blow loose powder off your parts with compressed air,

and it also allows you to remove loose powder from the printer or the parts themselves with

the vacuum.

Controls: The power is turned on by the switch on the right side of the machine. (NOTE:

Turning the power on should turn on the vacuum and the compressor inside the cabinet, and

the light over the work area. If any of these do not go on, check to see that their respective

power switches have been turned on.)

CONTROL

There are only two adjustments that you should make when using the ZD4. The first is the

vacuum, which can be adjusted via the control knob located just below the main power switch

for the ZD4. You can adjust the vacuum from very light suction (0) to full power (100).

The second adjustment is the pressure of the air gun. The air gun is mounted on a hose off

the left side of the machine. The gun is operated by depressing the small, round button on

the top of the gun. The pressure of the gun is adjusted using the regulator cap, which can be

found on the right side of the work area, next to the pressure gauge.
