Spectrum Z™510 3D Printer Hardware Manual Introduction 3 Introduction 3.1 How It Works The 3D Printer System is based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's patented 3DP™ (3D Printing) technology. The software first converts a three-dimensional design built using 3D CAD into cross sections or slices that are between 0.0035" - 0.004" (0.0875 - 0.1 mm) thick. The printer then prints these cross-sections one after another from the bottom of the part to the top.
Spectrum Z™510 3D Printer Hardware Manual Introduction Step 5: The feed piston moves up one layer, the build piston moves down one layer, and the process is repeated. Step 4: As the gantry traverses right to left, the print head prints the part cross-section. The printer employs several techniques to quickly build parts. First, binder solution is applied in a higher concentration around the edges of the part, creating a strong "shell" around the exterior of the part.
