Controller User Interface - 3D Systems FIGURE 4 MODULAR User Manual

6 FIGURE 4 MODULAR OPERATION
The Figure 4 Modular system is a fast, automated solution for all your 3D-printing manufacturing needs. The operation of
the machine is quick and easy. The following sections will describe how to operate the machine, from beginning a build to
extracting a build from the machine.

6.1 Controller User Interface

The Figure 4 Modular has a 53 cm (21 in.) touchscreen, along with a keyboard/touchpad, to control the functions of the system.
Please use the following guidelines when using the touchscreen:
1. The touchscreen is a capacitive touch screen, meaning that it registers an input whenever something holding an electric
charge (like fingers) touches it. Touch input has been tested to work with lab-quality, powder-free gloves; however, you
should ensure that you do not touch the screen if you have recently handled uncured material or partially cured printed
parts. This is to keep the functionality of the screen intact and to not contaminate it.
2. If material does get on the screen, clean immediately with IPA or EtOH and a nonabrasive cloth.
3. To wipe fingerprints off the touch screen, use a microfiber cloth.
4. Do not attempt to remove the touch screen or its mount from the Controller.
5. If the touch screen becomes damaged to the point of not functioning properly, cease printing and contact 3D Systems
Service.
The GUI has three tabs with different functionality, as well as a fly-out menu. Please see the breakdown below, as well as a
detailed view of each screen in the sections that follow.
