Contact 3D Systems immediately if the floor in your facility is less than 152.4 mm (6 inches) thick. It may be necessary to specify a different anchor bolt for your facility. 3D Systems, Inc. 17 DRILL FLOOR FOR PROCESS CHAMBER ANCHOR BOLTS You have the choice to anchor the ProX DMP 320 into the floor or not. In the free-standing configuration a counterweight must be bought from 3D Systems to counter the process chamber door weight. When opting for the bolted configuration, 3D Systems provides 130mm long bolts type MKT SZ-B 24/50. The customer is responsible for drilling the connection holes. The holes for the bolts must be 24mm in diameter. It is recommended the holes are drilled with a diamond drill so the sides of the holes are clean and smooth. 1. Use the diagram on page 14 to determine the position of the machine in your facility. 2. Mark the position for all four holes as shown in the figure below. 3. The holes cannot be located within 76 mm (3 inches) of a seam or an expansion joint. 4. Use a 24 mm diamond bit to drill each hole 130 mm deep. 5. Clean each hole with a long brush or compressed air. 6. Close off holes with a piece of tape to avoid accumulating dirt inside the hole. 3D Systems, Inc. 18 REACTIVE METAL POWDER STORAGE To store reactive metal powders in your facility: • Use closed containers. Closed containers will prevent accidental dust generation and contamination. • Preferably use conductive containers or containers lined with conductive material. Containers made from a conductive material will help dissipate electrostatic charges. • Store containers on a grounded conductive surface. • Store separately from other chemicals such as, but not limited to, oxidizers and fuels • Store in a fireproof cabinet. • Make certain you have small containers for small quantities of powder. Do not store small quantities of powder in large vessels. • In the ideal case, large quantities of powders are stored in a suitable separate building, away from the production environment. Storage in closed containers will prevent accidental dust generation and contamination, while a conductive material will help dissipate electrostatic charges. It is also recommended to store large quantities of combustible powders in fire retarding cabinets or a specifically designed room. While this will not prevent fire itself, it will prevent powder from igniting immediately by a fire in the vicinity of the powder storage. This will give your personnel additional time to evacuate and will provide emergency services the opportunity to extinguish the external fire before the powder stock ignites. In the ideal case, store large quantities of powders in a suitable separate building, away from the production environment. You must make certain there is no automatic sprinkler system installed where aluminum, magnesium or magnesium alloys are stored. These materials will react with water to produce hydrogen which will create an explosion hazard 3D Systems, Inc. 19 5  ATMOSPHERE REQUIREMENTS ROOM VENTILATION The DMP process takes place under an inert argon atmosphere inside the process chamber. During the preparation and loading/ unloading the machine argon gas is released to the work place. In small rooms, a minimum ventilation is therefore required. During loading and unloading the machine powder particles/dust become airborne. The presence of metal powders in the work area air is unsafe and must be avoided as much as possible. Therefore adequate room ventilation is suggested, as well as wearing PPE (Personal protective equipment) is strongly advised. The following flow rates are required for the following conditions: • When the machine is running, (the chamber door is closed) 100 cubic meters/hour (3531 cubic feet/hour) • During loading and unloading, (the chamber door is open) 650 cubic meters/hour (22851 cubic feet/hour) Air Conditioning The facility air conditioning system where the printer is operating should be capable of dissipating 1.0 kW (3412 Btu or 0.28 ton U.S. refrigeration) of heat or equivalent to keep temperature requirements. Ensure that any air conditioning ducting does not vent directly onto the machine. Room Air Source The facility HVAC system provides source air only. Air that is introduced into the room is not allowed to recirculate back into the facility HVAC system. The atmosphere in the ProX DMP 320 installation room must meet the following specifications: ATMOSPHERIC VARIABLES Room temperature controls REQUIREMENTS Heating and air conditioning installed A/C not blowing on top of process station Operating range: (16 to 27) °C; (60 to 80) °F Temperature Setpoint range: (18 to 24) °C; (65 to 75) °F Stability: ± 2 °C (± 5 °F) Non-condensing relative humidity No higher than 70% Room air changes 4 per hour minimum Heat dissipation Maximum: 3.2 kW (11000 BTU/hr) Average: 2.4 kW ( 8200 BTU/hr) Atmospheric corrosives None; Clean Dry Air (CDA) is required Room Air Exhaust The facility must have a separate system for exhausting the air from the room. The system must exhaust the room air directly to the outside. For the exhaust system, 3D Systems recommends the use of TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled) motors for this application. WARNING: FAILURE TO EXHAUST THE ROOM AIR DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE WILL PUT PERSONNEL AT RISK FOR BREATHING AIR CONTAMINATED WITH METAL PARTICLES AND WILL PUT THE FACILITY AT RISK FOR AUTOIGNITING FIRES. WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING REACTIVE METALS, (TITANIUM OR ALUMINUM) AIR EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT CONTAIN FILTERS. FINE METAL PARTICLES WILL BE COLLECTED BY THE FILTER AND WILL BE A SOURCE OF AUTO-IGNITING FIRES. 3D Systems, Inc. 20 6  ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The ProX DMP 320 is designed to be connected to primary AC power directly from the facility’s power circuit to the machine’s input power. This task must be performed by a qualified electrician. The facility’s power circuit must have a 50A branch protective circuit breaker or fused disconnect with lockout/tagout capabilities. Use a 30 amp breaker for the 400 VAC supply and use a 30 amp breaker for the 230 VAC supply. TRANSFORMER SPECIFICATIONS Supplied by: 3D Systems or customer Installed by: Supplier (prior to ProX DMP 320 installation) If the facility does not have 400 VAC, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 10 kVA power, a customer-supplied step-up or step-down transformer is required. 3D Systems stocks the following transformers: DESCRIPTION 3D SYSTEMS PART NO. Transformer, 460-500 Volt to 208VAC, 10kVA, 60Hz, 3PH 151924 • If you purchase a transformer from a supplier other than 3D Systems, specify a “wye-to-delta” primary-to-secondary configuration. • Connect the transformer secondary neutral to the transformer secondary ground. Caution: Do not connect the transformer secondary neutral to the printer ground. GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS All connections between powered equipment and the power panel must be grounded as shown in the diagram below. All equipment and storage container must be grounded to prevent accumulation of static electricity. 3D Systems, Inc. 21 7  ARGON REQUIREMENTS A customer supplied argon system must be in place before the ProX DMP 320 is installed. When installing the argon supply line: • Route argon supply line through the ceiling. • Locate the drop over the control panel. • The minimum internal diameter of the argon supply line is 14 mm. The connection for the argon supply is located on the back of the control panel. Argon Gas ProX DMP 320 Connection Type (for DMP 320) G1/2” Female BSP thread with Hose barb 13mm added Connection Type (for sieving unit) G1/8” Female BSP thread Flow Rate 200 liters/minute or higher Supply Pressure Minimum 2 bar (29 psi) - Maximum 3 bar (43.5 psi) Quality 4.8 or better For an argon supply, you may use a bulk (liquid) argon tank or argon cylinders. The quality must be 4.8 or better. If a liquid argon supply is used, the supply tubing from the argon source to the machine must be at least 20 meters (65.6 feet) long. This distance will act as a buffer and will make certain the temperature of the argon is not below freezing when it enters the DMP 320 Caution: Allowing argon that is below 0 degrees C (32 F) to enter the DMP 320 will damage the machine If using argon cylinders, the following is recommended: • Use one pack of twelve cylinders connected with an auto-switching manifold. • A high volume flow pressure reducer must be used for the cylinders. This allows the chamber to fill quicker. • Use two particle filters immediately after the reducer. One 5μm filter and one 0.01μm filter. 8  COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS A customer supplied compressed air system must be in place before the ProX DMP 320 is installed. When installing the compressed air supply line: • Route compressed air supply line through the ceiling. • Locate the drop over the control panel. • Keep the compressed air line as short as possible to ensure proper pressure. • Use a minimum of 6mm tubing. The connection for the compressed air supply is located on the back of the control panel. Compressed Air ProX DMP 320 Connection Type (for DMP 320) G3/8” Female BSP thread with 6mm plug-in connection Connection Type (for sieving unit) G1/8” Female BSP thread Flow Rate 30 liters/minute Supply Pressure Minimum 3 bar (43.5 psi) - Maximum 8 bar (116 psi) Quality Class 1 according to ISO 8573 – 1:2010 3D Systems, Inc. 22 9  NETWORK REQUIREMENTS All ProX DMP 320 machines need to be connected via the LAN (company or separate production LAN) to the Machine Server computer (named DMP Server). The server should be placed at a safe and clean location (i.e. not in the production hall). All ethernet connections should be gigabyte capable with an RJ-45 connector. NETWORK INTERFACE The ProX DMP 320 requires a gigabit Ethernet network connection to transfer print jobs from workstation(s) to the printer. The printer works on networks running TCP/IP ONLY. Each printer and server preferably has a STATIC IP address on the network. Additionally, each printer's subnet mask and default gateway must be known and available to the 3D Systems Field Service Engineer at the time of installation, and should also be known by personnel installing the client software. Each printer and server preferably should have a static IP address on the network. They will need access either to the appropriate subnet mask or the individual IP address of each printer to complete the workstation software installation, and to enable access to any printer on the network. Not all networks have TCP/IP installed. Make sure to have a network administrator check that TCP/IP are both installed and are running as required PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL of the printer. The DMP server preferably should have access to the internet while being installed to speed up the installation. 3D Systems, Inc. 23 CLIENT WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS Before a part can be built on the printer, the build data file must be saved or exported to the industry-standard .stl file format, and submitted over the network (or flash drive or cable). The software package shipped with the DMP 320 contains client software, which is installed on each users' workstation. This allows the user to select, preview, and submit jobs, as well as manage the build queue (for designated administrators). Prior to installing the software, ensure that each workstation meets the following minimum specifications. The specifications described represent 3D Systems tested minimum "baseline" configuration for using the client software. Although the client software will run on less powerful computers, meeting the minimum recommended configuration will ensure acceptable performance. Minimum Requirements Recommended Operating System Windows 7 (64 bit) Windows 8 (64 bit) Windows 10 (64 bit) Windows 7 (64 bit) CPU Intel or AMD processor with a minimum of 2.0 GHz Multiple core processor RAM 4 GB 16 GB or more.

The preferred way of moving the DMP 320 is by lifting it from the top using the four 40mm lifting eyes provided. See adjacent figure. If you plan to lift the equipment using the lifting eyes, the equipment should meet the following specifications: • 4 X load chain, load capacity 4000 kg (8818 lbs). • 4 x Round-slings, 1-10t x 2 meters (78.74 inches). All other equipment is easily moved with a forklift or pallet jack. WARNING: NEVER OPEN THE PROCESS CHAMBER DOOR BEFORE THE PROCESS CHAMBER IS SECURED TO THE FLOOR WITH ALL FOUR ANCHOR BOLTS OR THE COUNTERWEIGHT HAS BEEN INSTALLED. OPENING THE DOOR OF AN UNSECURED PROCESS CHAMBER WILL CAUSE THE PROCESS CHAMBER TO FALL FORWARD. BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF THE PROCESS CHAMBER, FATAL INJURIES TO PERSONNEL COULD RESULT. The DMP 320 can also be lifted from the bottom by removing some of the shielding. When lifting the DMP 32 from the bottom, care should be taken as to how it is lifted The adjacent figure provides a side view of the process chamber. The two red bars indicate where the forks of the forklift must be placed. Make certain one fork is positioned as close to the door as possible. This is required because the center of gravity of the process chamber is forward of the center line. 3D Systems, Inc. 25 11  HAND TOOLS Tools that will be used in the presence of metal powders must be non-sparking, non-magnetic hand tools which are manufactured from Aluminum or special Aluminum-Bronze (AlBr) or Copper-Beryllium (CuBe2) alloys. These are the only tools that are safe to use in Ex zones where hazardous, flammable or combustible materials are present. The following items are required: • All electric tools must be for ATEX zone 21/NEC class II group E • Work benches must be grounded (anti-static mats) • Brushes and brooms must have natural fibers. • Aluminum dust pan 12  PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), that is required when working with metal powders is as follows: • Dust Mask - FFP3 recommended • Eye protection - Close fitting safety goggles or face mask. • Nitrile gloves • Head cover • Shoes - anti-static, conductive soles, safety toe • Anti-static or conductive outer garments (coveralls) • Hearing protection depending on the dB level. All of the items listed above must be acquired and available for each employee before the machine and materials arrive on site. All PPE must remain on site. Storage for the PPE must be made available. 13  WASTE DISPOSAL Ability to dispose of waste • Contaminated exhaust filters • Waste oil from the vacuum pump and blower • Metal powder • Clothes and paper towels used for cleaning Mineral oil must be available. To prevent oxidation, mineral oil is used to coat items contaminated with reactive metal powders (e.g. aluminum, titanium). Items must be treated with mineral oil and placed into a metal waste container. Need to have closed metal containers for waste and the ability to store the waste containers, if possible, in a closed environment outside the production facility. Waste materials must be disposed of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. 3D Systems, Inc. 26 14  SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING REACTIVE METALS The modifications listed in this section must be observed if you will be using reactive metals in your facility. The following are considered to be reactive metals: • Titanium and Titanium alloys • Aluminum and Aluminum alloys • Magnesium and Magnesium alloys • Pure Nickel • Pure Zinc FIRE SUPPRESSION The facility must have a Class D fire extinguisher and a fire blanket present in the work area. The automatic sprinkler system must be disabled in areas where reactive metals are used or stored. Several of the materials, (magnesium, titanium, aluminum, etc.) will react with water to produce hydrogen. With the sprinkler system disabled, local building code may require the installation of an inert gas system for fire suppression. VENTILATION SYSTEM Filters cannot be used in the ventilation system for the room. Fine metal particles will collect in the filter and become a source of autoigniting fires. 3D Systems, Inc. 27 15  FACILITY REQUIREMENTS CHECKLIST In the sections that follow, you will find all the requirements your facility must meet before your DMP 320 can be installed.
