Intended use

The Form Wash L automatically cleans uncured liquid resin from 3D printed parts. 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 a specific part.
NOTICE
Such variances may not be apparent and may result in unexpected defects in
additively fabricated parts.
You shall independently verify the suitability of additive manufacturing,
stereolithography (SLA), the Form Wash L, and any specific designs or materials
