Abstract
A power management system for a selective deposition modeling apparatus for maintaining the power consumption of the apparatus within the limits of conventional power available in most all office environments. The apparatus has a plurality of power drawing components, each component having a activation power rating wherein the accumulative total of all the power ratings exceeds a baseline power consumption value for the apparatus. The system prevents a baseline power consumption value from being exceeded by determining which components can be activated while leaving others inactivated.
