Safety Features

Stratasys 3D printers are designed to comply with CE and FCC standards. They are equipped with the following safety features:

Interlock Switch

The power supplied to the UV lamp, the tray heater and the motion motors is turned off when the cover is opened.

Warning
Do not defeat (override) the interlock switch. Doing so could result in serious personal injury. If the interlock switch does not function correctly, do not use the printer, and contact your service provider.

Safety Lock

The cover is locked while the printer is working. If you do manage to lift it, the UV lamps and the motion motors turn off.

Warning
Do not defeat (override) the safety lock. Doing so could result in serious personal injury. If the safety lock does not function correctly, do not use the printer, and contact your service provider.

UV Screening

The transparent section of the cover blocks harmful UV radiation, allowing the operator to view the 3D prints during the printing process.

 

Circuit Breaker

The power to the printer is turned off in case of electrical overcurrent.

Note: The circuit breaker is only accessible to service personnel.

UV-Lamp Overheating Protection

The power supplied to the UV lamp and the motion motors is turned off if the temperature around the lamp reaches 90°C (194°F). A label on the UV-lamp cover indicates if the temperature has exceeded 65°C (150°F).

 

Grounded Chassis

The chassis of the printer is grounded, to prevent electrical shock.

Note: The power outlet must be grounded in accordance with the local electric code to provide this protection.

If the printer is not used as specified in this guide, these safety features may not provide adequate protection.
