4 POST PROCESSING THE PART

4.1 REMOVING THE FINISHED PART

After the build is complete, remove the finished parts from the build box as follows:

1. With starch-based parts, wait approximately ten to fifteen minutes to ensure that the

uppermost layers of the part have had a chance to dry. With plaster-based parts, leave the

part in the bed for approximately 30-60 minutes. With ZCast parts, leave parts in the bed for

approximately 30-60 minutes.

2. Take the machine offline by pressing the Online Button.

3. Lift the Top Cover.

4. Vacuum off any powder on the deck.

5. Press the Feed Down button to lower the feed piston.

6. Place a tray on the top of the Feed area.

7. Take a moment to look at the computer screen and determine exactly where parts lie in the

build box.

8. Without raising the build piston, begin vacuuming powder out of the build box. Hold the end

of the hose on a 20° to 30° degree angle over the powder so the hose inlet is 1/4” to 3/8”

above the surface of the powder. This generates enough of a draft to lift loose powder

without damaging the parts.

9. Vacuum powder away from the buried parts, and

clean powder out of the margins against the walls of

the Build Box.

10. To gain access to the sides of the parts, raise the

Build Piston by holding down the Build Up button.

11. Remove the part and place on the tray. The part is

now ready to be depowdered.

WARNING: When performing any vacuuming operation, use the vacuum provided as part of the

Z406 System. Vacuuming powder can generate static electricity, and use of a non-grounded

vacuum will create static charges, which may affect the operation of the Z406 System and harm

the operator.
