Formlabs Form 2

This printer is out of service

This printer is out of service due to insufficient safety measures and protective equipment.

Required Safety Equipment

  • Required when handling isopropanol, resin and uncured prints

  • Required when handling isopropanol, resin and uncured prints

  • Required when handling resin and uncured prints

  • Wash hands after use

Hazards

  • Isopropanol is highly flammable

  • Both Isopropanol and uncured resin causes allergic reactions

  • Resin is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects

This printer and associated equipment uses dangerous chemicals that pose the hazards:

  • Isopropanol:
    • H225 Highly flammable liquid and vapour
    • H319 Causes serious eye irritation
    • H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness
  • Resin:
    • H315 Causes skin irritation
    • H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction
    • H335 May cause respiratory irritation
    • H319 Causes serious eye irritation
    • H411 Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects


Operational Safety

  • Do not operate the system without proper training, please contact Sonen engineering staff here for training.
  • Make sure you have read and understood the safety datasheet of both the isopropanol and resin used in this process.
  • Wear the required safety equipment.
  • Wash your hands after handling resin or the uncured print.
  • Dispose of used gloves, towels and uncured supports in the red flammable trashcan.
  • Have an eyewash bottle at hand.
  • Know where the fire alarm and extinguisher is.
  • Don't swap the resin tank yourself. Contact the Sonen engineering staff here.

Standard Operating Procedure

1. Prepare your print in Formlabs Preform

2. Open the vent cap

In order for the Formlabs to properly fill its vat, the vent cap on the resin container must be open.

3. Start your print

4. Wear proper safety equipment

Wear the safety equipment depicted above.

5. Prepare your work area

Lay some paper towels on your work surface, and keep some towels at hand.
Prepare the tools you will need for postprocessing such as pliers and wire cutters.

6. Remove your print

Remove the buildplate from the printer, let the excess resin drip of the buildplate before removing it from the printer.
Remove the print from the buildplate by gently using a spatula. Do this over the paper towels.
Replace the buildplate in the printer, close the printer and the vent cap.

7. Washing

Put your part in the washing station, set washing time and start the procedure.
For grey resin the standard wash time is 10 minutes. See here for wash times for different materials.

8. Wash your hands

It is important that whenever you are done handling the resin and uncured part, you wash your hands.
This is to make sure that there is no resin residue on your skin.

9. Remove supports

It is easier to remove the supports before curing the print.

10. Curing

Place your part in the curing station. The standard cure time for grey resin is 30 minutes at 60° Celsius

11. Tidy up after you

Clean the used tools of resin by using isopropanol. Dispose of used gloves, towels and supports in the red flammable trashcan.

12. Wash your hands

It is important that whenever you are done handling the resin and uncured part, you wash your hands.
This is to make sure that there is no resin residue on your skin.
