Thank you for purchasing the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350.
The Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 is a flexible and efficient medium for curing parts printed on 3D Systems' Figure 4® printers. After a printed part is removed from the printer, it is not considered safe to touch without nitrile gloves until it has been fully cured for a specified time in the UV Curing Unit 350. The unit uses a series of UV lamps and glass platforms, or a Figure 4 print platform, to achieve full post-curing. Once the process is complete, and the parts are verified as fully cured, the printed parts are safe to touch without the need for nitrile gloves.
This manual provides users with an understanding of features, system requirements, and operating procedures needed to post-cure parts using the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350.

The following are environmental issues concerning the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350:
The pollution degree of the intended environment for this equipment is PD2 (Pollution Degree 2).
To allow optimum systems operation and optimum part quality, the temperature of the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 location should remain stable. The working range is 18-28°C (64-82°F). Any temperature fluctuation greater than 3°C may adversely affect parts cured in the system. The air conditioning system should maintain a temperature change of less than 1°C per hour. The unit's room should have a minimum cooling capacity of 1.4 kW. We recommend an HVAC system that changes the air six times per hour. To avoid adversely affecting part quality, do not expose the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 to direct air flow from the air conditioning system.
There are no special requirements for controlling waste heat on the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350.
The optimal humidity in the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 lab will depend to a certain degree on the resin selection. Regardless, the humidity should always be non-condensing and should not vary outside the range of 20% to 80% RH. Review your material information (SDS, Instructions for Use, and product labeling) for specific information on recommended humidity levels.
The Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 is capable of operating correctly up to an altitude of 2,400 m (7,874 ft) above mean sea level.
Overall sound-pressure level for this equipment will not exceed 85 dBA, and, therefore, does not require ear protection to operate.
When you dispose of green parts, refer to the SDS for that material and follow any applicable government regulations. All waste products (resin-soaked paper towels, cleaning liquids, etc.) must be disposed of in accordance with all applicable government regulations. However, the recommendation is to cure all parts, even those from a failed build. Cured parts may be disposed of in regular trash, which is better for the environment.
Do not clean anything with uncured resin on it in a sink or tub that drains into normal wastewater.
The Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 was designed to minimize operator exposure to electrical hazards during normal operations. Do not remove any panels or other parts of the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 casing. All exposed electrical circuits are contained within limited-access cabinets. This is to separate the operator from service and maintenance areas. Only 3D Systems Service Personnel should access the electrical panels. 120-240 V~ power is present in multiple locations throughout the unit. Whenever performing maintenance procedures, power down the machine and unplug it if power is not necessary for service.

The following paragraphs provide general first-aid procedures and recommendations for protective equipment to minimize the risks from resin exposure. If professional medical attention is necessary, take the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact resin involved to the attending physician.
Figure 4 resin may cause sensitization by skin contact. It is irritating to the skin; repeated and/or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. Wear 100% nitrile gloves and lab coats to avoid skin contact. Should resin, or uncured parts, come in contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and COLD water and immediately remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If skin is irritated, get medical attention. Dry-clean contaminated clothing. Discard contaminated shoes and leather products.
High vapor concentration may cause irritation. Safety goggles should be worn to prevent accidental splashes of resin into the eyes. If resin comes in contact with the eye, flush immediately with large amounts of COLD water for 15 minutes. Avoid sunlight, fluorescent light, and other ultraviolet light, and obtain immediate medical attention. Eye-wash facilities and a first-aid kit should be readily available and close to the resin/green parts.
If resin splashes into the eye when contact lenses are worn, flush the eye with water immediately. Verify that flushing has removed the contact lens from the eye. Protect eyes from light and obtain immediate medical attention. Discard contact lenses that come into contact with liquid resin or green parts.
Inhaling fumes from resin is irritating to the respiratory system. High atmospheric concentrations may lead to irritation of the respiratory tract, dizziness, headache and anesthetic effects. Do not operate the Figure 4 UV Curing Unit 350 without its carbon filter in place. For most resins, normal operation of the UV Curing Unit 350 with its filter in place should not emit fumes. If a person should inhale fumes, bring the exposed person to fresh air. Perform CPR if required. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and obtain immediate medical attention for the person.
If a person ingests material, get medical attention immediately. Immediately rinse the person's mouth and have him/her drink plenty of water.
