Introduction to the iPro™8000/9000 SLA®Center

Stereolithography - From stereo, for three-dimensional, and lithography, for printing,

stereolithography is literally three-dimensional printing. It is the term used to describe 3D Systems’

patented fabrication process that “prints”three-dimensional, solid objects by solidifying liquid plastic

using a computer-directed, ultraviolet (UV) laser beam to cure successive layers of photo-sensitive

polymer resin in an RDM (Resin Delivery Module).

The process “builds”three-dimensional solids from the bottom up, layer by layer. As each layer is

created and super-imposed on the layer underneath, a solid object in the shape of a three-

dimensional part is created, the origination of which typically occurs in a separate, computer-based

modeling application such as CAD, CAM, or CAE. Layer thickness can range (see the specifications

for details). A laser beam solidifies the layer of resin. The vertical elevator system lowers the newly

formed slice beneath the surface of the resin at a distance determined prior to part building. A

recoating system ensures consistent layer thickness. Layers build up until all the data for the model

is processed. Then the part is drained and removed from the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center for post-

processing. The iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center consists of an assembly of numerous discrete sub-

systems that are integrated to perform 3-D stereolithographic model generation.

Developed in 1987 by the founder of 3D Systems, stereolithography was the first commercially

available layer-additive process to enable rapid fabrication of objects pulled directly from Computer-

Aided Design databases.

Our products and services are used by marketing professionals, purchasing departments,

engineering groups, research and development efforts, and design and testing teams all over the

world... to turn their CAD, CAM, CAE designs ---their IDEAS---into solid, tangible, plastic objects.

What’s the difference?

The numerous build configurations available from the two iPro systems featured in this manual offer

a broad range of options to produce high-definition plastic parts with unmatched quality and

accuracy. They use the same mechanical hardware, software, and methodology. The difference is

the size, and the options associated with size.

The iPro 9000 doubles the build zone of the iPro 8000 by allowing for 2 RDMs or an extra large

RDM. With the greater size, parts can be created in two separate RDMs simultaneously,

regardless of multiple part designs or resin materials. The iPro 9000 can also be used with a

combined RDM to produce parts up to 60 inches long.

The two iPro systems are designed to fit the variety of needs in production and the ever-changing

array of environments they run in.

iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center’s Features

Resin Delivery Module (RDM)

The iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center allows for the faster material changes because of the innovative

mobile design of the RDM. Not only can you now change resin in less than ten minutes, you can

also swap the resin delivery module (RDM) easily, with no tools required . All components that come

into contact with resin in the RDM are moved with the module itself. You can remove the RDM easily

and quickly and replace it with another active RDM, without having to clean any wet resin surface.

This new RDM design significantly reduces the time to swap between build materials. In addition,

you can warm up an RDM offline, enabling you to swap one resin delivery module for another that is

ready to use. Gloves, however, may be required to detach the Zephyr ™recoater blade. This new

handling method ensures that all parts that come into contact with resin under normal operation are

a part of the active RDM.

The RDM is a vital system component. It is the mobile container

that stores the resin material and is rolled into the iPro™SLA®

Center to build parts.

The older generation SLA systems referred to this container as a

“Vat”because it was basically just a square metal tub. The RDM

is much more than just a container, it stores all the components

that contact the build material as well as using identification

electronics to communicate to the iPro SLA Center. This allows

the system to detect when the RDM is installed, the type of RDM

being used, and the material contained within the RDM.

Table 1, shown below, lists the required build envelopes that represent all RDM and platform

elevator configurations that the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center supports. Each RDM and platform

elevator design minimizes the amount of resin that the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center requires.

Table 1: RDM Configurations

Name Maximum Build Volume Fill Capacity

RDM 650M 650 x 350 x 300 mm (25.6 x 13.7 x 11.8 in) 148 liters (39.1 U.S. gal)

RDM 750SH 650 x 750 x 50 mm (25.6 x 29.5 x 1.97 in) 95 liters (25.1 U.S. gal)

RDM 750H 650 x 750 x 275 mm (25.6 x 29.5 x 10.8 in) 272 liters (71.86 U.S. gal)

RDM 750F 650 x 750 x 550 mm (25.6 x 29.5 x 21.65 in) 414 liters (109.3 U.S. gal)

RDM iPro 9000 XL 1500 x 750 x 550 mm (59 x 29.5 x 21.7 in) 935 liters (247 U.S. gal)

The iPro 9000 XL builds large, single-piece parts up to 60-inches long

with all of the performance attributes and accuracy that users have

come to expect from 3D Systems' high-definition Stereolithography

process. This system delivers extra-large parts with no seams for

aesthetic superiority, one-piece durability, resulting in reduced labor and

decreased cost. This RDM is only available for use in the iPro 9000

SLA Center.

User’s Manual

8000/9000

There are two operating modes for the RDM:

Stand-by Mode

In this mode, the RDM is offline and operates independently from the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center,

permitting offline resin and module temperature stabilization when it is connected with line power

to the power umbilical. The resin can warm effectively in this mode, enabling the user to build a

part while warming resin for future use.

Build Mode

In this mode, the RDM is online and connects to the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center for power and

I/O for full interoperability. The iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center monitors and controls the resin

temperature while connected with the active RDM. When the RDM is online, it can pump and

recirculate resin.

F e a t u r e s

Intelligent Resin Container

Each container in the iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center holds an

electronic storage device that has information about the resin

that is in the bottle and the RDM. This information enables the

iPro SLA Center to make sure that the user does not use the

wrong material, use material incorrectly, or use an empty or

expired container.

Single Resin Delivery Module

The iPro 8000/9000 SLA Center builds with one resin delivery module,

focusing on speed and accuracy, without compromising space requirements.

Dual Resin Delivery Module

The iPro 9000 SLA Center can also build parts in two separate build zones, Build Zone A and

Build Zone B. Each zone is independently capable of supporting its own active resin delivery

module and motion axis control, enabling controlled builds in both zones simultaneously, with

each build using different resins if desired.

Extra Large Resin Delivery Module

The iPro 9000 SLA Center can operate so that two build zones combine into

a single larger build zone to create larger parts that make up a single

contiguous envelope. The extra large resin delivery module accommodates a

build zone of 1500mm x 750mm x 550mm.
