Revision Log
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 Fortus 380mc and 450mc are designed to be safe and reliable printers, 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.

About the Fortus 380mc & 450mc
The 380mc and 450mc printers incorporate the latest in innovative technologies to provide you
with precise prototypes from a CAD design. Stratasys’ Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
technology provides prototype parts, including internal features, that 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 380mc/450mc features a servo/belt
driven XY gantry with multiple high temperature modeling material capability.

• Material Package(s)
• Welcome Kit (containing your user documentation, software CDs, common
tools for maintaining the printer, and a variety of replacement parts)
• A Computer Workstation (not sold by Stratasys)
380mc Highlights
• Maximum build area of 14 x 12 x 12 inch (356 x 305 x 305 mm)
• Material Canister Bays: 1 model, 1 support

How to Use This Guide
This guide provides information for selecting an appropriate location for the Fortus 380mc/
450mc. Instructions and specifications pertain to both the 380mc and 450mc model, unless
otherwise stated. This guide also provides instructions for unpacking and preliminary set-up.
Information of particular importance is presented in one of three formats:
Warning: 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.
Caution: 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.

Site Prep Tasks
Selecting the Site
Decide where to install the printer based on the following:
1. Space Requirements
2. Environmental Requirements
3. Electrical Requirements
4. LAN Requirements
Space Requirements
Dimensions and Weights
Make sure that the installation site floor space can accommodate the printer’s weight and
dimensions, plus required clearances.
* The printer is designed to fit through a standard 36 inch (91.44 cm) door opening with both rear
service access panels and the rear top cover removed. See “Moving the Printer Through a Door”
on page14 for instructions.
Note: 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.
Note: The 380mc and 450mc 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 380mc and 450mc are for indoor use only.
•Operating temperature shall be in the range of 65°F to 86°F (18°C to 30°C),
with relative humidity range of 30% to 70% non-condensing.
•Storage temperature shall be in the range of -40°F to 129.2°F (-40°C to 54°C),
with relative humidity range of 10% to 85% non-condensing.
•Altitude shall not exceed 6561.68 feet (2000 m).
•Noise emission (acoustic):
•<65dBA when idle
•<66dBA 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.
Power Consumption
Power consumption is material dependent due to the various temperatures maintained in the
build chamber.
Material Type Heat Output (while building) Heat Output (while idle)
ABS ~8,000 BTU/hr ~7,000 BTU/hr
PC ~12,500 BTU/hr ~11,500 BTU/hr
Ultem ~15,500 BTU/hr ~14,500 BTU/hr
Material Type Power Consumption
(while building)
Power Consumption
(while idle)

Electrical Requirements
AC Power Requirements
• 50/60 Hz 5 wire (LLL+N+PE) dedicated circuit.
• Voltage: 120/208 VAC 3 phase nominal.
• Current: 18A.
• In-rush: 50 Amps max for less than 10 milliseconds, 21 Amps max for less
than 20 seconds.
• Maximum input voltage variation: ±10% of nominal.
• Leakage (touch) current: <1.0mA (under all conditions), 0.0mA (when OFF).
Operation of the printer outside this range is not recommended; degradation of performance
and shortened component life expectancy will be experienced. The printer is to be operated on a
3-phase service meeting the recommendations for power quality given in IEEE Standard
*141-1993. Facilities who are unsure of their power quality should contact their service provider.
* IEEE Standards licensing rules prohibit Stratasys from distributing the Standard. End users who wish to review the
Standard are responsible for its individual purchase.
UPS Connectivity
• Dry contact interface to external UPS.
• UPS interface pins 7 and 9 (DSub9 male connector).
• Pin 7 sources less than 1mA (5VDC max).
• If connection is <400ohms (closed), the printer automatically shuts down.
• If connection is >5000ohms (open), printer operates normally.

821465-0002 7
Optional AC Transformers
Two optional AC transformers are available from Stratasys for facilities with AC electrical
services outside of the 208 VAC specification. The transformers meet applicable electrical and
safety standards and carry both the CE Mark and the Mark of a Nationally Recognized Test
Laboratory (NRTL) for North America.
A transformer electrical wiring diagram, for use by a qualified electrician, is located within the
transformer.
Figure 2: Transformer Dimensions & Mounting Specifications
(applicable to both transformers)
When configuring the transformer for different input voltages, the internal tap 1 connection
wires (typically colored yellow, red and orange) must be moved to the appropriate tap position
(terminal block number) shown on the connection diagram attached to the inside cover of the
transformer. 3 phase input is connected to the same terminal block positions as the tap 1
connection wires, per the connection diagram (see Figure 3 for an example).
Transformer PN Specifications Weight
155-01200 8.0 KVA 200-240 VAC 50/60 Hz Delta-Wye 195 pounds (88 kg)
155-01400 8.0 KVA 380-480 VAC 50/60 Hz Delta-Wye 200 pounds (90 kg)
