Introduction

2.1

Intended Use

The Form 2 is a commercial, precision tool intended for use in the additive
manufacture of end-user supplied designs from photopolymer resin. The final
performance characteristics of cured photopolymer resin may vary according to
your compliance with the instructions for use, application, operating conditions,
material combined with, end use, or other factors.
In some cases, the additive manufacturing process may inherently result in
variable performance characteristics between manufacturing runs or within
NOTICE
a specific part. Such variances may not be apparent and may result in un-
expected defects in additively fabricated parts.
You shall independently verify the suitability of additive manufacturing, stere-
olithography, the Form 2, and any specific designs or materials employed for
WARNING
the application and intended purpose before use. In no event shall Formlabs
be liable for any loss, death, or bodily injury that you suffer, or that you cause to
any third party, in connection with your use of Formlabs products. To the fullest
extent legally permitted Formlabs EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED OR EX-
PLICIT WARRANTY OF FITNESS for a particular usage, the particular nature and
circumstances of said usage being unforeseen and unforeseeable to Formlabs.
Formlabs is not a manufacturer of medical devices. Formlabs provides tools and
materials that may be used in many applications, but makes no claims as to the
WARNING
safety or effectiveness of any specific devices made using Formlabs products.
Certain Formlabs products, such as those commonly known in the industry as
"biocompatible" resins, have been engineered to comply with relevant industry
standards. The specific standards and most relevant technical specifications
may be identified within the technical data sheets and have been tested ac-
cording to relevant testing protocols for those standards and specifications.
Biocompatible resins are a speciality product, developed for use by medical
professionals, and should be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
Do not modify – The Form 2 is intended for use as-is. Modifying the printer
without explicit approval and directions from Formlabs will invalidate your
WARNING
warranty, and could potentially ruin the machine and cause you bodily harm.
