Air Cleanness
The room housing the FabPro system does not require special ventilation beyond air conditioning. Reasonable care
should be taken to minimize dust and smoke which could contaminate the FabPro/NextDent material and cause
deterioration of optical surfaces. Avoid temperature uctuation. Since dust, smoke and temperature uctuations
can affect the performance of the machine and the quality of the parts, an area with ltered air ow is
recommended. Avoid proximity to machine shop areas, or where milling, grinding, or sanding is performed.
Lighting
Standard uorescent lamps with clear plastic diffusers are recommended to minimize ultraviolet exposure, which
could negatively affect the FabPro/NextDent material. Sunlight, quartz-halogen lamps, and high-intensity
incandescent lamps are not suitable; and UV-intensive lighting or ultraviolet exposure through windows should be
avoided. UV lters are available for windows and exposed uorescent lamps. Any exposure of the material to any
of the light sources described in this section is likely to cure the material, thereby wasting it and forcing a di cult
cleanup.
Door or Other Method of Preventing Access to Room
The site should be able to be isolated from other employees or personnel during emergency situations, such as a
major material spill. The system is safe and does not present hazards to properly trained personnel operating the
system in accordance with our speci cations. However, the system should be installed in an area that can be
cleared of untrained personnel during cleanup of a spill or response to other emergency situations.
Network Access
The printer controller computer includes an Ethernet port, which can be connected to a 10/100/1000
MBit/s Ethernet network to offer network access to the FabPro system. An RJ45 cable is packaged in with the
printer. Remote operation of the printer is not available.
Telephone Service
Dedicated telephone lines are not required for normal operation of an FabPro system. However, you may wish to
install a dedicated telephone line in the FabPro system installation area to facilitate discussions with 3D Systems
Customer Service personnel while the machine is in operation, should the need arise.
Site Selection - Post-Processing Equipment
Locating the post-processing equipment is similar in many respects to locating the printer. The equipment
includes, but is not limited to: two stainless steel containers (included) and UV-curing oven. The following
abbreviated site speci cations are for the recommended post-processing equipment:
Space and Location Selection
You may choose to locate the part-washing, drying, and curing stations in the same room as the printer or in
a room adjoining the printer.
