Environmental Requirements - Stratasys F123 Series Site Preparation Manual

Site Preparation Guide

Environmental Requirements

• The F123 Series printer is for indoor use only.
• Air quality conditions with excessive solid particulates (conductive or non-conductive) may
result in system damage.
• Air quality conditions in which airborne oils are allowed to accumulate on or within the
printer can damage the plastic components.
• System operating temperature shall be in the range of 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C), with
relative humidity range of 30% to 70% non-condensing.
• System storage temperature shall be in the range of 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C), with
relative humidity range of 20% to 90% non-condensing.
• Altitude shall not exceed 6561.68 feet (2000 m).
• Material storage shall be in the range of 55°F to 86°F (13°C to 30°C), with relative humidity
less than 70%.
• Noise emission (acoustic): <32dBA when idle, <46dBA when building
Heat Output
Heat dissipation occurs mostly through the top of the printer. Heat output is material dependent
due to the various temperatures maintained in the build chamber.
