Intended use also includes observation of all information in this manual and compliance with the inspection and 
 maintenance instructions. The national statutory safety at work conditions and applicable measures for the prevention  
of accidents must be taken into account when using the product. It is the user’s responsibility to employ working

1.7.2  Product-specific information

The main area of use for the Zfx™ Evolution

NEXT

 scanner and the Zfx components is in the dental laboratory. The scanner  

is intended for the three-dimensional measurement of objects in digital form with high quality resolution and precision. 
The Zfx software generates three-dimensional data which are exported as polygon-mash-formatted data (STL, OBJ, PLY) 
and can be used as input data for various software packages such as CAD software or 3D printers. Any use other than that 
described is considered to be improper use. 

If the Zfx components are integrated into an existing network, the responsibility for safety and functionality lies with the 
network operator. 

CAUTION

Never dismantle the sensor unit’s cameras or projectors. The mechanical positioning of the camera and projector in the 
sensor unit must be carried out exclusively by Zfx GmbH. The image quality can be adversely affected by adjusting  
the aperture rings of the camera or projector. Never adjust or turn the aperture rings of the camera and projector.

 
1.7.3  Decommissioning and disposal

The appropriate country-specific regulations must be observed when finally decommissioning the Zfx components If you 
have any questions relating to the proper disposal of the Zfx components, please contact Zfx GmbH or a disposal company 
certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2004. The equipment components and accessories must not be disposed of in 
unsorted household waste.

CAUTION

Generated waste for man and the environment must be taken safely for recycling or disposal in accordance with the 
applicable national regulations. See also Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE).
