Safety
The following basic safety tips are given to ensure safe installation, operation, and
maintenance of Stratasys equipment and are not to be considered as comprehensive on
matters of safety. Although the F123 Series printers are designed to be safe and reliable,
access to areas of the printer are potentially dangerous.
Safe Environment
• Connect equipment to a grounded facility power source. Do not defeat or bypass the
ground lead.
• Know the location of equipment branch circuit interrupters or circuit breakers and how to
turn them on and off in case of emergency.
• Know the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them. Use only ABC type
extinguishers on electrical fires.
• Know local procedures for first aid and emergency assistance at the customer facility.
• Use adequate lighting at the equipment.
• Maintain the recommended range of temperature and humidity in equipment area.
• Do not use this product in an environment containing volatile or flammable compounds.

Introduction
How to Use This Guide
This guide provides information for selecting an appropriate location for the F123 Series
printer. This guide also provides instructions for unpacking and preliminary set-up. Information
of particular importance is presented in one of three formats:
A Warning: indicates a procedure that may cause injury to an operator if the
procedure is not followed.
A Warning: will precede the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
A Caution: indicates a procedure that may cause damage to equipment if the
procedure is not followed.
A Caution: will precede the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
A NOTE is used to highlight a specific point or to provide an operational tip. While
useful, a NOTE does not indicate a procedure that can cause injury or damage if it is
not followed.
A NOTE will follow the paragraph of instruction to which it relates.
About the F123 Series Printers
The Stratasys F123 Series 3D printers incorporate the latest in innovative technology to
provide you with precise prototypes from a CAD design. Stratasys’ Fused Deposition Modeling
(FDM) technology provides prototype parts, including internal features, which can be used to
field-test form, fit, and function. Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) allows for the creation of
customized end-use parts straight from 3D CAD data. The F123 Series printers feature a
servo/belt driven XY gantry with multiple modeling material capability.

Site Requirements
Decide where to install the printer based on the following:
1. Space Requirements
2. Environmental Requirements
3. Electrical Requirements
4. LAN Requirements
The F123 Series printers are capable of generating vibrations depending mainly
on part build geometry and material characteristics. This consideration will need
to be taken into account if locating the printer near vibration sensitive equipment.

Environmental Requirements
• The F123 Series printer is for indoor use only.
• Air quality conditions with excessive solid particulates (conductive or non-conductive) may
result in system damage.
• Air quality conditions in which airborne oils are allowed to accumulate on or within the
printer can damage the plastic components.
• System operating temperature shall be in the range of 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C), with
relative humidity range of 30% to 70% non-condensing.
• System storage temperature shall be in the range of 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C), with
relative humidity range of 20% to 90% non-condensing.
• Altitude shall not exceed 6561.68 feet (2000 m).
• Material storage shall be in the range of 55°F to 86°F (13°C to 30°C), with relative humidity
less than 70%.
• Noise emission (acoustic): <32dBA when idle, <46dBA when building
Heat Output
Heat dissipation occurs mostly through the top of the printer. Heat output is material dependent
due to the various temperatures maintained in the build chamber.
Material Type Heat Output (while building) Heat Output (while idle)
ABS ~2300 BTU/hr ~1800 BTU/hr
ABS ESD7 ~2300 BTU/hr ~1800 BTU/hr
PC-ABS ~2600 BTU/hr ~2100 BTU/hr
PLA ~550 BTU/hr ~35 BTU/hr
ASA ~2300 BTU/hr ~1800 BTU/hr
TPU 92A ~2300 BTU/hr ~1800 BTU/hr
DiranTM 410MF07 ~2950 BTU/hr ~2900 BTU/hr
