PRODUCT FEATURES
MATERIAL DELIVERY MODULE
The Material Delivery Module (MDM) in the device holds four material cartridges necessary for printing a part . Two support material and
two part material cartridges are housed in the MDM .
two part material cartridges are housed in the MDM .
A cartridge of material can be replaced in a matter of minutes with no tools required. This feature significantly reduces material load
time . In addition, you can warm up the material in the MDM in less than an hour, greatly reducing print time .

The MDM contains a waste liner with a disposable bag that allows the waste to be emptied by removing the bag and replacing it with a
new one . The maximum capacity of the waste bag is 1311cm

. Bags and liners can be ordered by using part number 311215-00 . Each
order will contain 30 bags and 1 liner .
Nitrile gloves are required when changing material cartridges or changing the waste bag .
MDM Capacity
Each cartridge holds approximiately 1 .5kg of material for a total of 3kg support and 3kg part material .
Material Cartridge
The ProJet 2500 material cartridges incorporate smart cartridge technology that contain information about the material that is in the
cartridge and the MDM . This information enables the ProJet 2500 to verify that the user does not use the wrong material, use material
incorrectly, or use an empty or expired cartridges, ensuring the material is safe to use .

PRINT APPLICATOR
The print applicator is the assembly of the ProJet 2500 that applies material to the part as the applicator moves across the material
surface .
surface .
The print applicator utilizes a Xerox M Series printhead with four axes of motion: The y-axis moves the applicator from the front to the
rear . Other motion systems are utilized to ensure the exact amount of material is deposited, resulting in the high part accuracy produced
on the printer . The applicator system’s liquid level sensor maps the material surface by moving around the material surface . The sensor
calibrates the position of the applicator so that it moves perfectly parallel to the material surface, enabling the print to be accurate and
precise . The applicator system uses the motion axes that are connected to the applicator, enabling the 3D printer system to self-
calibrate and permitting a customized setting of the applicator gap, or distance from the applicator’s bottom to the material surface, for
different materials .

Print Applicator Safety
Radiation: If any of the interlocks are defeated radiation can cause eye injury or blindness, burn injury and/or fire.
Interlocks are to be defeated only by trained personnel when needed during service procedures .
