Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FabPro™ 1000 3D printer.
The FabPro 1000 is a exible and e cient, projector-based 3D-printing system that produces high- delity parts
from a broad range of materials. The printer uses a projector-based radiation source for an inverted printing
system that enables very high print speeds and new material chemistries that provide production-grade properties.
Applications include communication of 3D shape, assembly prototyping, physical testing, and more.
These parts are generated in the rapid prototyping (RP) environment under the control of the printer operators. The
system must be run by technicians who are trained in proper usage of the printer and materials. All design and
process considerations are compatible with a RP environment. The three-dimensional solid parts that are printed
consist of an ultraviolet (UV) curable material. The operator pours print material, also called "resin," into the print
tray. Using a proprietary radiation projector that 3D Systems has developed, a UV-radiation pattern is cast onto the
underside of the print tray and through to the bottom of the material. This UV radiation causes a phase change in
the material that converts it into a solid polymer, making it adhere to the print platform. After a layer has cured,
a motor tilts the print tray to peel the bottom of the printed part off the print-tray lm. Then the elevator moves the
print platform up by one layer length. Then the UV pattern for the next layer is projected. This process repeats, layer
by layer, until the build le is complete. The print platform, along with the part, is removed from the printer and the
part is cleaned and post-cured to provide a nished part.
This manual provides users with an understanding of features, system requirements, and operating procedures
needed to create nished parts using the FabPro 1000.
