Material Tray
The material tray consists of two plastic frames with a special membrane called Pre-Stretched Assembly (PSA) between them, which fits snuggly over a piece of glass. Between the glass and the membrane, there is a separation film that prevents PSA from sticking to the glass. As the build platform moves up taking the exposed part away from the PSA, it pulls the membrane up finally releasing it and allowing the parts to separate. The build platform then moves back down and the next image in the sequence is projected; the cycle repeats itself. |
Build Platform
The build platform is an assembly comprised of:
The flat area of the build platform is where cured material will adhere during the printing process. |
Starter Kit
Network cable, 5mm
This cable connects the printer to the local network. The cable inserts into the I/O panel behind the printer. The other end plugs into the network. The printer can be operated by other Windows computers on the network if the CAT 6 is plugged into a modem or into a network outlet. |
Crossover network cable, 5mm, colored plug
This cable connects the printer to the operating computer, as needed. The cable inserts into the I/O panel behind the printer. The other end plugs into the operating computer. |
Paint Scraper
Use the scraper to remove printed models from the build platform. Use the paint scraper for detaching larger printed models. You can also use the scraper to remove material residues from the build platform. |
