ZCast powder should be stored in a cool, dry environment. See container labels for additional
information.
9.1.9 DISPOSAL
ZCast powder is a non-toxic substance. Please consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for

9.2 USING ZP250 POWDER
zp250 powder is the newest powder system formulated for Z Corporation 3D Printers utilizing the
Hewlett Packard print head technology - the ZPrinter
®
310, Z406, and Z810 3D Printers.
Specifically formulated to have an open matrix to absorb infiltration resins, zp250 powder is an
extremely versatile, composite-based powder used to fabricate models with plastic flexural
properties which are ideal for snap fit applications. It can be used as your sole powder to fulfill a
number of application needs. zp250 powder is best suited for monochrome parts. It is also
recommended for parts that have a wall thickness that is greater than 0.06 in (1.5 mm).
9.2.1 MACHINE SETUP
• Remove all of the powder currently in the Z
®
406 (feed piston, build piston, overflow bin).
• Remove all powder in the depowdering unit and install a new vacuum bag in the vacuum
unit.
• Check to see if the binder solution currently being used is compatible with zp250 powder.
If you are not currently using zb56 binder, replace the current binder with zb56 binder
then flush and purge the fluids system in accordance with your respective printer’s user
manual. zb56 binder is the required binder system for zp250 powder.
• Fill the feed piston with zp250 powder. Z406 users may use the removable build plate (Z
Corp. part number 06302) to aid in the removal of the 3D printed part after the build is
completed. Place the build plate onto the build piston and lower the build piston until the
top surface of the removal build plate is slightly below the surface of the top deck of the
3D printer to make certain that the spread roller does not hit the build plate.
