9.2.2 SOFTWARE SETUP
• ZPrint Software version 6.2 or higher should be used
when printing with zp250 powder. To check the
version of ZPrint Software currently installed select
“About Z Corporation Software” from the Help Menu. If
ZPrint version 6.2 or higher is not installed contact the
Z Corporation Service Department for an upgrade at
[e-mail]
.
• Due to the nature of the open powder matrix of zp250 powder, and its capacity to absorb
Z-Snap or Z-Max epoxy infiltrant, the use of a fixture generated in ZPrint Software is
recommended for parts with a wall thickness less than 0.25” (6.35mm) on the Z406
Printer. For a complete explanation of how to use the “Make Fixture” function in ZPrint
Software refer to the ZPrint Software Manual. Fixtures used as cradles for zp250 powder
parts should be built with the following parameters:
Clearance
0.125” – 0.25” (3.175 – 6.35 mm)
Top Surface Thickness
0.1” – 0.25” (2.54 – 6.35 mm)
Wall Thickness
0.1” – 0.25” (2.54 – 6.35 mm)
Distance Between Wall by X
0.5” – 1.0” (12.7 – 25.4 mm)
Distance Between Wall by Y
0.5” – 1.0” (12.7 – 25.4 mm)
Accuracy Coefficient
High enough to avoid collisions between the part
and the fixture
