The SLS system process chamber and
the RCM both contain heaters. During
and after a build, the surfaces of both
are hot—and they both contain hot
materials. Take the following
precautions to avoid burns:
✓
Know which surfaces in the process
chamber are likely to be hot after a
build. These are indicated by
warning labels (described in Safety
Labels on page 15). Avoid those
surfaces when docking and
removing the RCM.
✓
Use appropriate gloves when
removing the part cake from the
RCM, or let the part cake cool for
several hours before you touch it.
✓
Avoid hot process chamber surfaces
behind Hopper Feed Module access
doors on left side of SLS system.
Always wear personal
protective equipment
(insulated gloves) when
handling the RCM.
Wear gloves when
you pull the RCM out
of the SLS system
after a build. The
handle might be hot.
Allow system to cool with door open after a build
