Hazard Classifications

Stratasys recommends that only qualified personnel handle PPSF and PPSF_S.
The following hazard classifications are used in this guide and should be
understood by those who handle the material.
Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Pre-Processing

Setting up PPSF in Insight (Version 6.0 or Later)

Follow the instructions and information below when using Insight:
• In the modeler setup, choose PPSF as your model and support
material.
Note: Insight automatically defaults the tip size for PPSF and
PPSF_S to T16 and the slice height to 0.010 inches (0.2540 mm).
• When choosing a build orientation:
• Use a build orientation that will maximize the success of your
part. See "STL Automatic Orientation" in the Insight Help
program included in your Insight software.
• Keep in mind that you will save time in the support removal
process by not building unnecessary supports.
• When building smaller parts with finer details, Stratasys
recommends using the basic support style.
• In some cases, parts with tall features, in which support
material is no longer extruded, can become distorted. This is
due to the model material becoming too hot. You may find that
running multiple, smaller-sized parts will help this problem by
allowing the material to cool while the head switches between
parts.
