The main design goal for all SLS equipment is to
provide a safe operating environment. The frame
and enclosure designs passively limit hazardous
access while the electronics and software actively
and automatically sense and react to unsafe
conditions when they arise. For example, if the
SLS system detects unsafe operating conditions,
it will immediately stop operating and, in some
cases, shut down completely. Safety Interlocks
Safety interlock devices on the SLS equipment
help prevent accidental laser exposure, electrical
shocks, crush injuries, burns, and fires.
SLS equipment will not operate unless all safety
interlocks are satisfied.
If any SLS equipment safety features
fail, your actions may be all that will
prevent potentially hazardous
operating conditions.
Never try to disable or override any
safety interlock device on any
SLS equipment. Operating
equipment without all safety
interlocks enabled can cause
equipment damage, injury, or death.
If you suspect a safety interlock
device is not working properly, do
not operate your SLS equipment.
Rather, disconnect power from the
equipment and contact 3D Systems
Customer Support for assistance.
