WHAT YOUR SYSTEM INCLUDES

This section lists all required and optional components for the ProX 500 SLS 3D Printer System . These include:
• 

ProX 500 SLS 3D Printer

• 

ProX Material Quality Control (MQC) System

• 

Auxiliary equipment for finishing parts created with the ProX 500

• 

Maintenance and safety equipment for cleaning the system and protecting operators and service personnel

• 

Items consumed during part printing (“consumables”) such as powder, nitrogen, and filters

NOTE: The ProX 500 SLS 3D Printer prints many types of parts out of several types of SLS materials . Each 

application has some unique requirements . Your system will most likely 

not

 include every component and material 

listed in this section . Just focus on the components and materials included in your order .

It is especially important that you prepare your facilities for all non-3D Systems-supplied components in your order . These are indicated 

in each section . The facilities for these non-3D Systems-supplied components—and in some cases the components themselves—must 

be in place before the ProX 500, MQC System, and any auxiliary equipment from 3D Systems can be installed .

REQUIRED SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Your ProX 500 must include the components described below . Most of these components are 3D Systems-supplied and installed; 

others can be one of the following:
• 

Customer supplied and supplier-installed, or,

• 

Customer supplied and 3D Systems-installed

NOTE: Purchasing information is current at the time of writing, however, it is subject to change . Contact 3D Systems 

Customer Support if you need help contacting a supplier .

When a required system component can be customer-supplied, the source (or sources) for the component are listed, along with 

purchasing information .
