Material Delivery Module (MDM)
Refill Containers 1 and 2:
These containers hold the bottles of new material, which are added to the MDM prior to the
start of a print. The refill containers incorporates smart cartridge technology that contains information about the
material that is in the bottle and the MDM. This information enables the ProX 950 to verify that the user does not use
the wrong material, use material incorrectly, or use an empty or expired containers, ensuring the material is safe to
use.
Applicator Rest:
This rest area is used to stow the removable applicator when changing MDMs.
Leveling Reservoir:
This reservoir is used to store material for transferring into or out of the print area to maintain the
precise material height during printing.
Fill Pumps:
The fill pumps control the material height in the print area by moving material to or from the leveling
reservoir.
MDM Heater Power Switch:
In the
On
position, the MDM will regulate material temperature. In the
Off
position
temperature regulation doesn’t occur. This functions in both
Standby
and
modes.
I/O Connector:
This connector is the interface for all communication and motion control between the MDM and the
ProX 950.
Serial Connector:
There is a serial connector on the right side and one on the left side of the MDM. The left side
Serial Connector connects the Smart Cartridge Technology reader for bottle on the left, and creates communication
of the heater to the vat. The right side Serial Connector controls the Smart Cartridge Technology to the bottle on the
right side.
Heater Connector:
This connector plugs the heater into the MDM allowing the material to heat. When in
mode this is connected to the machine, when in
Standby
mode this is connected to the wall.
