Welcome To The ZPrinter®650

Quick Start Guide

Congratulations on your 3D Printer purchase! This guide will

familiarize you with your 3D Printer, and lead you through mak-

ing a build. Please refer to the ZPrinter 650 User Manual for

complete information about using your new full-color, automatic

3D Printer. The Manual is included on the installation CD with

your ZPrint software.

We encourage all customers to logon to our 3DP User Web site at

3dscentral.3dsystems.com to learn more about 3D printing,

materials, Best Practices, and post-processing techniques.

1. About 3D Printing

1.1 Before You Begin

• Ensure the ZPrinter 650 is properly installed and running,

and that no errors are displayed on the ZPrinter 650 control

panel.

• Ensure the ZPrint™ Software is installed and running, and

the printer is connected to the same network as the com-

puter that is running ZPrint. For ZPrint installation instruc-

tions, see the ZPrint™ User Manual.

• Export a solid data file from a 3D modeling software pro-

gram and open the file in ZPrint. ZPrint is compatible with

most 3D modeling software file types.

2. Check The Printer

Before you start your print job, it’s important that you check the

printer. A clean, well-maintained printer produces better

parts, has less downtime, and needs fewer service calls.

1. Open the printer top cover and pull the fast axis out toward

you.

2. Check for loose powder in or around the Build Bed, Fast

Axis, and Deck. There should be no powder in these areas

prior to printing. If you need to clean these areas, follow the

steps in Section 6.1, “Vacuum Up Excess Powder”.

3. Check that the Debris Separator, Parking Caps, the Rails and

Carriage, and the Service Station are clean. If any of these

need cleaning, follow the procedures in these sections:

•Section 6.2, “Empty The Debris Separator”

•Section 6.3, “Clean the Parking Caps”

•Section 6.4, “Clean The Rails and Carriage”

•Section 6.5, “Clean The Service Station”

4. Close the printer top cover. The Fast Axis reparks and the

printer goes Online.

3. Setup Your Build And Print

Now that your printer is clean, you need to open up the 3D file

using ZPrint, and select your printing parameters.

1. If you have not already done so, start ZPrint and select File

> Open. Choose a file to print.

2. Check your printer settings.

• Select File > 3D Print Setup, or click on the Tool-

bar to open the 3D Print Setup dialog.

•CheckyourPrinter Selection, the Powder Type

(ZP131) and Layer Thickness setting (0.004”).

•ChecktheBleed Compensation option, if it isn’t

checked already.

• If you want to print all in one color, check the Print in

Monochrome option.

•ClickOK.

3. ZPrint orients the part in the Build Bed for the fastest print

time. If you need to transform the part prior to printing, you

have a couple of options, otherwise proceed with Step 4.

• In the Top or Side views of ZPrint, select the part (left-

click on the part), then drag and drop it to a new posi-

tion.

• In any ZPrint view, select the part and use the Justify

, Rotate , or Scale features to change

the orientation, or scale of the part.

4. Select File >3D Print, or click on the Toolbar, to open

the Printer Status dialog.

5. ZPrint checks each item in the Printer Status dialog prior

to printing to ensure there are enough materials to complete

the build.

•SeeSection 8 of this guide for instructions if you see a

message saying any of the items needs attention.

•ClicktheDetails button to view usage information for

each print head, the binder, and the powder.

6. Check or uncheck Print Job Options for the current build.

•Print in Monochrome will print the entire part using

clear binder. The finished part will be white.

•Preheat Build will cause the printer to turn on the

heater in the build chamber prior to printing. This

warms the powder and binder, and is used for certain

combinations of powder and binder. Visit the Materials

section of our Web site at 3dscentral.3dsystems.com

to learn more about which binders and powders would

benefit from preheating.

•Delay Start Time allows you to start the print job at a

later time. This is useful if you wish to have the print

job complete at a particular time.

•Empty Build Piston after Printing will empty the

build bed of loose powder when the print job is com-

plete. The printer turns on the vacuum systems and

vibrates the build bed to evacuate the powder. The

powder is then recycled to the feeder.

Important: The Empty After Printing option is checked

by default. If you are printing a part with especially delicate

3dscentral.3dsystems.com 9

features, uncheck this option. Also refer to the ZPrinter

650 User Manual for information on adding fixtures and

bumpers to help protect delicate parts.

7. If all the Print Heads, Powder, and General items display

OK, the Print button is enabled. Click Print to start your

build.

NOTE: Before starting the build, the printer will:

• Service the print heads.

• If necessary, print an alignment pattern and align the

print heads.

• Fill the Build Bed with

powder and then spread

one layer to make the

Build Bed surface smooth.

8. The Printing dialog opens

and reports the status of the

print job for the duration of

the build.

This dialog details:

• Estimated print finish time.

• Estimated remaining print time.

• Actual print start time.

• Actual print elapsed time.

• The layer that is currently printing and the percentage

completed.

The Printing dialog also provides:

•ThePause button. Click to pause the current print job,

Click again to resume printing.

•TheCancel button. Click to cancel printing this job.

4. Automatic Powder Removal

When the build is finished, the printer starts an automatic drying

cycle. A counter on the printer LCD counts down the time

remaining before the part is dry.

After the drying cycle

completes, the printer

automatically removes

excess powder around the

part by vibrating the Build

Bed and vacuuming

through the bottom of the

Build Bed. The powder is

then recycled back into

the Feeder.

If you unchecked the Empty Build Piston After Printing

option in the ZPrint Printer Status dialog, manually excavate

the excess powder away from the part using the vacuum. Or, run

an Automatic Powder Removal cycle that you can control at the

printer by selecting BUILD CHAMBER > EMPTY BUILD

CHAMBER on the LCD display.

1. Open the cover of the

Post-Processing Unit.

If the solid metal tray

has been placed on

the bottom of the Unit,

lift the tray and latch it

into place in the top of

the Unit.

2. Open the printer top

cover and gently

remove the part from

the Build Bed.

For easier part

removal, select

BUILD CHAMBER

then RAISE PLAT-

FORM on the LCD

menu. Hold down the

Control Knob to raise

the platform to the top

of the Build Bed.

3. Move the part to the Post-Processing Unit. Close the Unit

cover.

4. Close the printer top cover.
