Technical Documentation

Precise

  • Adjustable Z-axis build layer: from 0.0005 inches (0.013 mm) to 0.0030 inches (0.076 mm)
  • Achievable accuracy: ± 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) per inch across the X, Y and Z dimensions
  • Surface finish: 32-63 micro-inches (RMS)
  • Minimum Feature Size: 0.010 inches (0.254 mm)
  • Calibrated Configurations for 0.0005, 0.0010, 0.0015, 0.0020, and 0.0030 inches build layer thickness

Efficient Models

  • User-adjustable speed and build parameters for job-by-job efficiency
  • Unattended operation
  • Material replenishment during operation
  • Automatic fault detection and status monitoring
  • Automatic re-start of build from point of interruption
  • Easy-to-dissolve wax support: no post-build benchwork of model surfaces
  • Negligible expansion, fast meltout in autoclave, no ash or residue

PatternMaster™ System

  • Maximum build envelope*: 12 x 6 x 8.5 inches (30.48 x 15.24 x 21.59 cm)
  • Small footprint: 34 inches (86.4 cm) width x 26 inches (66 cm) depth***
  • Power requirements: 115v 60 Hz AC with a dedicated 20 ampere circuit or 230v 50 Hz AC with a dedicated 15 ampere circuit
  • Recommended ambient operating temperature: 60º to 80º F (16º to 27º C)
  • No facility modifications required**
  • CE certified; FCC Class A approved
*Note: PatternMaster™ accuracy permits parts larger than build envelope to be built in segments.
**Standard office air conditioning recommended.
***Allow 18" (45.7 cm) on the right, left and top for doors to open. Allow 36" (91.4 cm) in front for cabinet door to open. Also allow space for table (not included) to accomodate a CRT and keyboard.
