needed for a highly efficient, ideal location for your ProX 950 and its components.
•
--provides information about preparing for the delivery of your ProX 950.
•
Third Party Equipment and Supplies
--provides a summary of the optional equipment and supplies that 3D Systems
recommends for efficient and complete part building, part processing, and finishing.
•
--explains the process of, and requirements for, installing the ProX 950 in your facility.
•
--gives you guidelines for proper storage, handling, and safety for SLA resins.
PROX 950
•
The ProX 950 is a flexible and efficient
stereolithography
(SLA)
system that produces high fidelity parts from a broad range of
plastics and composites. The ProX 950 uses an SLA platform that
expands the overall utilization of SLA parts in prototyping and
advanced digital manufacturing. Markets include automotive,
service bureaus, aerospace, and consumer goods.
The ProX 950 is only one component of the complete system. Many
accessories and other components make up a ProX 950 facility:

MATERIAL DELIVERY MODULE (MDM)
• The
MDM
is a vital system component. It contains the
resin and is rolled into the ProX 950 to build parts.
Many customers order extra MDM units, particularly if
they want to change resin quickly or use two materials
concurrently.
Determine the quantity of MDMs that you require.
