Printer Weight and Dimensions

Weight: 935 kg, (2060 lbs)

Dimensions (H x W x D) 162 x 170 x 90 cm, (63.8 x 66.9 x 35.4 in.)

Printer Weight and Dimensions, (Crated)

Weight: 1180 Kg, (2600 lbs.)

Dimensions (H x W x D) 203.2 x 200.7 x 165 cm, (80 x 79 x 65 in.)

Space Planning

Below is a suggested ﬂoor plan for the printer installation. Each printer requires use of a dedicated

circuit. Multiple printers CAN NOT be located on a single circuit. An additional 110 or 220 VAC outlet is

recommended for service needs.

The outlet location must be near the printer and remain accessible to the end user at all times.

The printer MUST be placed on a vibration free concrete ﬂoor. Do not install on any other ﬂoor covering

such as vinyl, tile, carpeting, etc.. Doing so WILL aﬀect machine performance.

A freezer is required for cooling parts after builds. The size of the freezer must be able to accommodate

the build platform’s size of (L x W) 55 x 41.3 cm, (22 x 16.25 in.)

Access Area Surrounding The Printer

At least 36” (908mm) of unobstructed ﬂoor space is recommended around each side of the printer to

allow unobstructed service access to the drawers and doors.

The 36 inch distance of unobstructed access around the printer is required for service. The

power cord is classiﬁed as the emergency disconnect device for this printer. In an emergency

situation, the service technician must have unobstructed access to the power cord.

Unit Portability

CAUTION: NEVER unpack, assemble, or connect any component of the shipment without

the aid of a qualiﬁed, 3D Systems Field Service Engineer or 3D Systems certiﬁed

servicing reseller. 3D Systems accepts no responsibility for damaged, defective, or

incomplete systems uncrated by anyone other than 3D Systems Field Service Engineer

or authorized reseller.

CAUTION: The casters provided have a small diameter and are not intended for use on rough or uneven surfaces including

carpet.

CAUTION: To avoid the risk of tipping the printer when moving between locations, only push from the left or right end of the

printer. Do not push from the front or back of the printer.

The printer is intended to be lifted from the crate base using a fork lift and placed on the casters to roll

to its ﬁnal destination. The ProJet Printing System is equipped with caster-type rollers. Leveling can be

accomplished using the threaded leveling feet.

CAUTION: Once the printer is installed, it cannot be moved without the aid of a qualiﬁed, 3D Systems Field Service

Engineer or 3D Systems certiﬁed servicing reseller. 3D Systems accepts no responsibility for damage to the printer by

anyone other than 3D Systems Field Service Engineer or authorized reseller.

When moving, DO NOT push from the front of the printer. It can tip over if casters are on uneven

ﬂooring. Always push printer from the side.

Power Requirements

Voltage Frequency Phase Amps

100 VAC 50/60 Hz Single 15

115 VAC 50/60 Hz Single 20

240 VAC 50/60 Hz Single 8

NOTE: All 240VAC markets require a step down transformer with 100-120VAC output for proper

heater control.

Please have 3D Systems direct or partner order the correct nationalization kit.

The installation of the printer shall comply with the National Standards and/or Electrical Codes of the

country in which it is placed.

Printer Power Considerations

During normal operation, the power usage of the printer will not exceed the continuous current rating

indicated in the electrical section (above). A dedicated, surge-and-spike protected electrical power

circuit for each printer should be provided that meets or exceeds the corresponding continuous current

rating.

Protected Power/Uninterrupted Power

A dedicated, surge and spike protected electrical power circuit is recommended for each printer installed. No other equipment is to be installed on

this circuit.

Uninterrupted power/active battery backup is recommended, especially in areas where circuits may be aﬀected by an outside source, e.g., lightning

strikes, power interruption, etc.

A 5kVA UPS supplying 120V to the product is required. The machine shall be powered by 100-120V nominal when a UPS is utilized. Some examples of

suppliers are Toshiba, APC, Eaton and Liebert. For International 230V markets, a stepdown transformer is always required. Power loss during a build

will cause the build to fail and can cause damage to your printer.

For installations with a UPS, consult the installation guide for the UPS to determine wiring and circuit requirements in advance of printer installation.

ProJet® XL Finisher (Optional) Power Requirements

The ProJet® XL Finisher must be hardwired and installed by a Certiﬁed Electrician. For more

information about the ProJet® XL Finisher click here.

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. The client software which is installed on the

users' workstation 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.

Minimum Recommended

OS Windows 7, 8 or 10 (64 bit)

CPU Intel or AMD processor with a minimum of 2.0GHz

Multiple core processor. Hyper-

threading and clock speeds above

3GHz can be beneﬁcial but should be

paired with a good balance of cores.

RAM 4 GB 8 GB

Hard Disk

30GB of available hard-disk space for

cache.

Temporary ﬁle cache requires about 3GB

free disk space for every 100 million

points.

- Screen resolution 1280x1024 or higher

Other

3 button mouse with scroll

Keyboard

Internet Explorer 9 or newer

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (installed with application)

Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 11

Network Interface

An Ethernet network connection to transfer print jobs from workstation(s) to the printer is required.

Network Speciﬁcations, Physical: The machine's internal controller provides an integrated, 100-

megabit-per-second (Mbps) or Gigabit Ethernet network connection. This connection supports both the

100base-T and 1000base-T Ethernet standards. The controller's connector (an RJ45 socket located on

the back panel) is designed for attaching a shielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet cable.

When a facility's internal network is not 100base-T or 1000base-T, a media converter, such as a Coax

to 100base-T will be required. Consult with your organization's network engineering or MIS staﬀ to

provide assistance with these requirements.

The printer works on networks running TCP/IP ONLY. Each printer MUST have 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 or authorized reseller at the time of installation, and

should also be known by personnel installing the client software. 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.

Material Storage

Part and support materials should be stored in a conveniently located storage cabinet in close

proximity to the printer. A cabinet is recommended to protect against long term exposure to external

UV light sources, including sunlight, overhead lighting, or other UV light sources. Storage temperature

of the material should not exceed the speciﬁed maximum of 35°C (95°F). Part material should be

stored away from strong oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, bromine, or chromic acid.

When storing material bottles that have been used but still have material in the bottles, do not lay the

bottles on their side in storage. Store the material bottle in the original box with the side spacers

installed. DO NOT rest on the nose of the bottle. Also, in the case where bottles with materials are

removed from the MDM and are still warm, the material bottle must be stored with the cap vented. If

the warm bottle is not vented, the wax will contract during cooling and cause the bottom of the

material bottle to ﬂatten. If this happens, the bottle cannot be reinstalled into the MDM.

More detailed information on the VisiJet® build material and VisiJet® support material, relevant

applicable safety precautions and remediation, and speciﬁc storage and disposal requirements, can be

found in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Your organizations’ Facilities Manager (or equivalent) should

maintain a copy of the two SDS documents, and provide ready, convenient access to these documents.

To obtain the VisiJet material SDS from 3D Systems, click here for additional copies. If further

information is needed, please contact 3D Systems’ Customer Hotline here.

Material Bottle Disposal

Used part material bottles must be disposed of in a manner consistent with local and other applicable

laws and regulations governing such materials. Refer to the VisiJet® materials' SDS sheets prior to

shipment of the ProJet™ Professional Modeling System. Discuss your organization's methods for

disposing or recycling of such material with your facilities manager, or for more information, contact 3D

Systems' Customer Support Hot line here.

Operating Environment

Locate the printer in a convenient location meeting the requirements speciﬁed in this document. The

printer is designed for indoor use only. To ensure optimum performance, it is important that the printer

must be installed in a clean, dry, air-conditioned room. Avoid placing the printer in any environment

with airborne contaminants, including cigarette smoke, fumes, and mechanical particulates that can

adversely aﬀect the long term functioning of this equipment.

Air Conditioning

A number of the ProJet® MJP 5600 System's internal electronic components as well as the part

material, are sensitive both to ambient temperature and, to some extent, humidity. In addition, the

build process itself can be temperature-sensitive within certain limits. The operating temperature range

should be between 18-28°C (64-82°F); optimal operational environment is 21-24°C (70-75°F).

Humidity

Humidity should be maintained at a minimum 30% and a maximum 70% relative humidity. Optimal is

35-45% relative humidity.

Lighting

The printer is equipped with its own internal light build chamber, and back lit operating panel control

with display.

Vibration and Shock

The printer consists of many precision mechanical and sensing systems that are sensitive to vibration

during the build process. To maximize the quality and accuracy of the build, it is required that the unit

not be near heavy machinery or any source causing high vibration or shock (i.e. exterior walls near

train tracks or airports).

NOTE: The printer MUST be placed on a vibration free concrete ﬂoor. Do not install on

any other ﬂoor covering such as vinyl, tile, carpeting, etc.. Doing so WILL aﬀect

machine performance.

Elevation

Elevation up to 2000 meters ( 6561 feet).
