2 FIGURE 4 MODULAR SAFETY
CAUTION: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
THE FIGURE 4 MODULAR SYSTEM.
Introduction
You must be properly trained and have read this manual before operating the Figure 4 Modular system. Also, anyone assisting
you must be properly trained. After you are trained, always follow the safety guidelines and procedures in this section before
operating the Figure 4 Modular.
Customer Safety Program
Before using the Figure 4 Modular, customers must have a safety program in place. The safety program should do the
following:
• Label and point out hazardous equipment, materials, and procedures.
• Explain what to do in an emergency situation.
• Provide information about the hazards of equipment and materials in the form of Safety Data Sheets (SDSs). The SDSs are
provided with all materials supplied by 3D Systems.
The information in this chapter supplements the customer's existing safety program. It points out safety considerations that
specifically concern the Figure 4 Modular system.
Levels of User
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM ANY PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL UNLESS YOU HAVE
READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL FIRST.
There are two levels of users of the Figure 4 Modular, based on the amount and type of training the user has received. The two
levels of users (operators and certified service personnel), are described below.
Operator
Operators are trained to operate the system and perform all the necessary tasks to build a part and perform basic preventative
maintenance as outlined in this manual.
Certified Service Personnel
Certified service personnel are those who have completed the 3D Systems service training package and are certified to perform
service tasks. Certification may occur at various levels, and certified service personnel should only perform tasks they are
authorized and certified to complete.
Safety Design Features in the Figure 4 Modular
The following design features are provided to reduce potentially hazardous operating conditions:
WARNING: IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY FEATURES FAILS, YOUR ACTIONS MAY BE ALL THAT WILL
PREVENT POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS OPERATING CONDITIONS.
WARNING: IF THE FIGURE 4 MODULAR IS USED IN A MANNER NOT SPECIFIED BY 3D SYSTEMS IN THIS MANUAL,
THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE EQUIPMENT MAY BE IMPAIRED.
• Safety switches on the Figure 4 Modular upper-chamber door, print platform, resin-tray, and catch tray are intended to
prevent accidental exposure of the user to the optical radiation.
• The design of the projection-based radiation-delivery system is intended to prevent the optical radiation from being aimed
outside the area of the process chamber.
• The upper-build-chamber door, made of orange acrylic, prevents operator exposure to optical radiation emission while
observing operation.
• The Figure 4 Modular system has been evaluated to IEC 62471 and the internal optical radiation source classified as 'Risk
Group 2,' and does not pose a hazard due to aversion response to bright light or thermal discomfort. Optical radiation is
emitted from this product. Eye irritation may result from exposure. Use appropriate shielding.
