Site Selection - NextDent 5100 Printer
This section provides the requirements and recommendations to determine the most appropriate location for a highly functional, efficient NextDent 5100 Printer workspace, with room for other equipment and supplies. To help you choose a location, the Advance Preparation Checklist provides the attributes that you need to select the best location for your installation. After narrowing the list of possible locations, consider each requirement carefully before making a decision about your final placement site.
Part 1
Space Requirements
User preferences, building codes, and equipment configuration help you to define the total floor area that your NextDent 5100 Printer will need. The NextDent system should be located in an environmentally controlled room. Locate the secondary post processing equipment and supplies in the same room or adjoining room, if possible. The figure below shows an ideal site configuration that minimizes the required movement of parts after part building. The NextDent 5100 Printer Measurements Diagram shows the minimum dimensions of the NextDent 5100 Printer. Your site layout will vary.
 |
NOTE: Due to UV safety requirements, the system should be located where access to the room can be avoided during an emergency. |
|
NOTE: The NextDent 5100 Printer should be placed such that the front of the unit is easily accessible for opening the door and loading/unloading print platforms. There should also be at least six inches of clearance on the sides and back of the printer for proper air flow. If you have the pedestal, the outriggers hitting the wall will add the required clearance. You may wish to use an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to keep your devices running in the event of a power surge/outage. |

Other Requirements
The printer runs local DHCP servers for two static local/hardware connections:
- 192.254.1.100
- 192.168.7.2
Your network cannot use these IP addresses for one of your printers.
Floor/Area Surface
Floors and counter spaces in the NextDent work area should be non-porous and suitable for cleaning with solvents. The feet of the printer must be on a sturdy, level surface; be sure to make any leveling adjustments needed to the desk/counter your printer will be on. Carpeted floors must not be used. Remove any carpeting or other non-porous flooring where the feet of the NextDent system will be placed. The system should not straddle any floor/desk/counter seams. The maximum permissible platform incline is 2.5 cm/12 m (1 in/40 ft).
Floor Vibration and Shock
The system is a precision mechanical and optical machine that is sensitive to vibration. In order to ensure part quality and accuracy, a ground floor location with a concrete floor, (mininum of 4 inches thick) is recommended.
The NextDent 5100 is slightly self-damping, and should not be affected by normal or incidental environmental vibration; however the area should be isolated, either via location or some other physical or mechanical means, from any significant internal or external vibration sources such as heavy machinery, HVAC and fans. Locations near airports or train tracks which could cause unacceptable shock or vibration levels are not recommended.
Load-Bearing Capacity
The NextDent 5100 Printer is 34.5 kg (76 lbs) and does not require a table rated for a heavy load. Additional equipment, such as a UV oven or ultra-sonic cleaner, will each have their own loads for your setup to bear. Refer to the Weights and Measures Charts to determine the total weight of the equipment to be housed in your room to ensure that you do not exceed the maximum load-bearing capacity that your printer-staging area can support.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical voltage requirements for the NextDent 5100 Printer:
- 120V, 240V, 50/60 Hz, 4A (2A Europe), 1 phase
Power for the NextDent 5100 Printer should be on a surge-protected circuit. 3D Systems does not require the use of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for the NextDent 5100 Printer. However, if you live in an area with frequent power surges/outages, a UPS would be useful. A UPS would prevent a build from crashing in the event of a brief power outage/surge, as it would give you time to properly pause the print job.
Ensure that the space you select for the printer has a power outlet reachable by that length of cord. Use of an extension cord or power strip is not recommended.
If your power cord becomes damaged or lost, please ensure you order a replacement from 3D Systems for a power cord that is adequately rated for the machine. Do not replace the power cord with a cord that is not rated for the printer. 3D Systems will identify any parts that are required to be examined or supplied only by 3D Systems or its partners.
Part 2
Heat Dissipation
The NextDent 5100 Printer is not expected give off significant heat under normal operating conditions.
Connection to AC Power
- In the United States, connection to a standard 10-amp wall outlet is required. The system connects to a 120VAC power outlet through a standard 120VAC power cord.
- In Europe, a standard 10-amp wall outlet is also required. The system connects to a 230VAC power outlet through a standard 230VAC power cord. Country destination kits are available with the proper wall-power connections.
Temperature
The temperature in the room or location where the NextDent system resides should remain stable to allow optimal system operation and optimal part quality.
NextDent resins should be kept between 5°C-30°C (41°F-86°F). However, successful printing has only been tested at a minimum of 18°C (64.4°F) and a maximum of 28°C (82.4°F). If your room is kept beyond either extreme, you may see a degradation in print quality.
Humidity
The optimal humidity in the NextDent 5100 Printer build chamber and lab will depend to a certain degree on the NextDent material selection. Regardless, the humidity should always be non-condensing and should not vary outside the range of 20 to 80% RH. Review your NextDent material information (SDS, Instructions for Use, and product labeling) for specific information on recommended humidity levels.
Altitude
The NextDent system is capable of operating correctly up to an altitude of 2,400 m above mean sea level.
Ventilation
While outside venting is not always required, there are some materials for which outside venting is necessary. Your HVAC system should perform at least six air exchanges per hour in the room where the printer is located. You may wish to have a fume hood installed for your part-cleaning area. Ensure that your facility complies with all local and regional regulations regarding ventilation of vapors, dust, and other by-products of printing, cleaning and secondary processing. Always refer to and follow the information on the SDS for your specific material.
Part 3
Overall Sound Pressure Level (OASPL)
The sound of the NextDent system will not exceed 80 db.
Air Cleanness
The room housing the NextDent system should be prepared for odors related to a small material spill. The means that windows should be able to be opened and/or other measures can be put in place to vent the room in the case of a spill. Reasonable care should be taken to minimize dust and smoke which could contaminate the NextDent material and cause deterioration of optical surfaces. Avoid temperature fluctuation. Since dust, smoke and temperature fluctuations can affect the performance of the machine and the quality of the parts, an area with filtered air flow is recommended. Avoid proximity to machine shop areas, or where milling, grinding, or sanding is performed.
Lighting
Standard fluorescent lamps with clear plastic diffusers are recommended to minimize ultraviolet exposure, which could negatively affect the NextDent material. Sunlight, quartz-halogen lamps, and high-intensity incandescent lamps are not suitable; and UV-intensive lighting or ultraviolet exposure through windows should be avoided. UV filters are available for windows and exposed fluorescent lamps. Any exposure of the resin to any of the light sources described in this section is likely to cure the resin, thereby wasting it and forcing a difficult cleanup.
Door or Other Method of Preventing Access to Room
The site should be able to be isolated from other employees or personnel in the event of a material spill or major machine malfunction. A separate room or area that can be closed to others is necessary. The system is safe and does not present hazards to properly trained personnel operating the system in accordance with our specifications. However, the system should be installed in an area that can be cleared of untrained personnel during emergency situations.
Network Access
The NextDent system controller computer includes a Class A Ethernet interface, which can be connected to a 10/100/1000 MBit/s Ethernet network to offer network access to the NextDent system. To remotely operate the NextDent 5100 Printer or to remotely run service engineer diagnostics, a VPN network access is required.
Telephone Service
Dedicated telephone lines are not required for normal operation of an NextDent system. You may wish to install a dedicated telephone line in the NextDent system installation area to facilitate discussions with 3D Systems Customer Service personnel while the machine is in operation, should the need arise.
Site Selection - Post Processing Equipment
Locating the post-processing equipment is similar in many respects to locating the NextDent 5100 Printer. The following abbreviated site specifications are for recommended post-processing equipment.
Space and Location Selection
You may choose to locate the part-washing, drying, and curing stations in the same room as the NextDent 5100 Printer or in a room adjoining the printer
With either option, please consider the following:
- The further the distance the build part is being moved from the printer to the post-processing area, the longer the opportunity for the build part to get damaged by dropping, bumping into objects, and other environmental factors.
- The further the distance the build part is being moved, also longer is the opportunity for uncured resin to drip onto the floor. If floors are porous, such as carpeting or some tiles, they can absorb the spilled resin and would need to be professionally cleaned or replaced.
Refer to Optimal Site Layout for a suggestion for overall layout. Refer to the Weights and Measures Charts for weights and measurements of the LC-3DPrint Box. Consider the following additional specifications when selecting the location for your post-processing equipment.
NextDent LC-3DPrint Box Measurements
Floor Surfaces
Flooring/table/countertop under the post-processing equipment should be non-porous and suitable for cleaning with solvents. Carpeted floors are not recommended.
Electrical Requirements
NextDent LC-3DPrint Box
Power configuration: 110V/240V – 50/60Hz – 2.6A/1.3A
Electrical power for the LC-3DPrint Box must be on a surge-protected circuit. A UPS, while not required, is recommended in areas with frequent power fluctuations, as surges and spikes can damage electronic components and power loss can damage the unit.
Ultrasonic Cleaner
Power configuration: An example of the power configuration for a consumer-grade ultrasonic cleaner is 120W at 40,000Hz. There are ultrasonic cleaners of many sizes, from around 2.5L (0.66 gal.) to upwards of 757L (200 gal.) Determine which size ultrasonic cleaner is best for your needs.
Electrical power for an ultrasonic cleaner must be on a surge-protected circuit, particularly for a bigger (not desktop) cleaner. A UPS, while not required, is recommended in areas with frequent power fluctuations, as surges and spikes can damage electronic components and power loss can damage the unit.
Connection to AC Power
The LC-3DPrint Box is designed to plug into a standard power outlet in different countries. Smaller ultrasonic cleaners will also plug into standard wall outlets; bigger ones, however, may require a custom power outlet.
Ventilation (Ductwork)
The post-processing equipment may be vented outside if required by your facility; however, ventilation is not required by 3D Systems. Contact your Facilities Manager for your requirements.
 |
CAUTION: Never disconnect a ducting system that is connected to an external extraction system. |

Inspect Exterior of Printer
Visually inspect the exterior of the printer for any damage incurred during shipping. Notify your reseller immediately if any damage is evident at this point. DO NOT proceed with the installation until you have discussed the damage with your reseller.
System Installation
Installation of your system encompasses four separate steps:
- Purchase and arrival of third-party equipment or supplies you may have ordered.
- Delivery of your NextDent system shipment.
- Uncrating and installation of your NextDent system components.
System Uncrating
The uncrating and installation of the NextDent 5100 will be performed by the printer operator. The weight of the printer requires a minimum of two people to lift it safely.
Scheduling Time for Your Installation
The installation of the system should only take an hour or less.
Preparing for System Installation
In preparing your facility for NextDent system placement, you must consider four main factors:
- Make sure that you have the necessary doorway and passageway clearance to move either the crated or uncrated components to their final destinations, including space for the people who are carrying the unit.
- Make sure that you have an adequate pallet jack, hand truck, or another person to help move the system and its accessories.
- If you use equipment to lift the printer, verify that it is rated for the load of the system components.
- Do not prepare a desk/table/countertop for the printer unless it is rated to hold a load of at least 34.5 kg (76 lbs).
Minimum Passageway and Door Openings
Most standard doorways and halls provide adequate access for moving the system. If the NextDent 5100 Printer is lifted on its narrow side, each passageway and doorway must be wide enough to move and turn a printer measuring 42.6 x 48.9 x 97.2 cm (16.8 x 19.3 x 38.3 in), in addition to accommodating the people or equipment used to move the printer.
Determine the pathway from where the crated components are stored to where your NextDent system will be installed. Walk the path from the storage location to the final destination of the system, and measure any critical doorways or passageways to ensure that the equipment can be moved through the area.
If a passageway or doorway is too small for the crated NextDent system, it may be necessary to remove the NextDent system from its crate before moving the unit. A standard door that is 2-2.4m (6.5-8 ft) tall and 0.61-1.1m (2-3.5 ft) wide should accommodate the system and its accessories.
Considerations for Material
You are responsible for ensuring that the facility where your NextDent system and NextDent materials are housed is properly configured for safe operation of the NextDent system and of the materials used in that system. Personnel who operate the equipment or use the materials must comply with all relevant safety codes and applicable regulatory requirements and laws, particularly those that relate to usage of hazardous chemicals, radiation, and disposal of regulated material. The NextDent 5100 Printer complies with CE requirements.
|
NOTE: You are responsible for determining whether additional supplies and equipment are necessary according to local, state, federal or other regulatory laws that govern your location. |
NextDent Material Usage
NextDent materials in the liquid state require use of approved surgical-type 100% nitrile gloves and other equipment to protect the user from direct contact with uncured print material. Material is fully cured only after adequate exposure in the LC-3DPrint Box. Only after being fully cured do the parts no longer require protective gloves to handle. The LC-3DPrint Box has been designed especially for NextDent™ materials, as their end-use parts must qualify as certified medical devices. Use of another UV oven nullifies this certification.
Material Disposal
Because NextDent materials are regulated, they are subject to special disposal requirements by your local, federal, or other regulatory agencies. Follow applicable disposal guidelines. Contact a local waste management company for recommendations on disposal requirements that affect your facility.
If your area requires regulated waste disposal, consult with and retain a waste-management company to periodically pick up regulated waste. Your local waste management company may recommend that you set up a drum, or other approved container, to dispose of liquid material, partially cured printed parts (also called "green" parts), and of any materials (such as paper towels or gloves) that may have come into contact with the uncured liquid material.
After final part curing in the LC-3DPrint Box, fully cured NextDent parts may be disposed of in regular trash receptacles.
|
NOTE: Inspect printed parts after curing in the LC-3DPrint Box to ensure they are fully solidified. Part-surface tackiness and visible or discernible areas of liquid material indicate the part is not fully cured. |
