WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING PRINT MATERIAL AND ANY OBJECT PRINT MATERIAL
MAY HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL, DROP OR EXPOSE OTHER MATERIALS
TO THE MATERIAL WASTE.
NOTE: Partially used bottles should be sealed and returned to your storage cabinet for future use.
Printer operators should be informed about the potential hazards of print material prior to performing operations
which may result in exposure to uncured material. This includes the removal and disposal of empty bottles
and dealing with unlikely spills that may occur during operation.
If a problem with the printer occurs due to a material spill, discontinue printer use until the problem is diagnosed
and xed.
Leaks indicate a serious malfunction. The rst priority is to protect users from inadvertently touching the material.
Handling uncured material requires the use of nitrile gloves and other protective equipment to ensure there is no
direct skin contact. If uncured material spills occur, promptly remove the spilled material with paper towels and
wipe up the spill. After wiping the spill, wipe printer surfaces using a nonabrasive cloth and clean with a solvent as
recommended in
the projector from material spills. If there is spilled material in the catch tray, carefully remove the tray and clean it
with recommended solvent. Dispose of waste material, including any paper towels used to clean up a
spill, according to local environmental regulations.
Tools that may be contaminated with print material should be cleaned prior to reuse. Recommended
solvents are normally required to clean tools. A nal wash with soap and water will remove any excess print
material.
Print Material Characteristics
The photopolymers used in the print materials may be hazardous if handled improperly. Repeated skin contact with
print materials may cause sensitization. Consult the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for information on
speci c print materials. For further information on this and related topics, consult the
website.
WARNING: NEVER MIX DIFFERENT PRINT MATERIALS. DOING SO MAY RENDER BOTH MATERIALS
INEFFECTIVE.
FabPro/NextDent Material Storage
Print materials should be stored in the opaque, non-reactive containers in which they were provided, according to
the guidelines given in the SDS, and according to all applicable regulations (local, state, and federal). Protect print
material from sunlight, ambient light, and moisture. Close the material bottle after each use. Be sure your material-
storage area is dry, dark, and between 18°C-28°C (64.4°F-82.4°F). It is preferable to store the material in a reproof
cabinet. Improperly stored materials may increase in viscosity, and may eventually result in a gelled, polymerized
product in the storage container. Materials should be stored in conformance with applicable laws and regulations.
The expiration date of the product is mentioned on the product label. Expired material may not perform as
expected, and in some cases loses its certi cation as a medical device for its printed parts. 3D Systems is not
responsible for losses incurred as the result of improper storage of print material.
Print Material Disposal
Do not dump print material down any drains. Dispose of print material according to the guidelines given in the
SDS and according to all applicable regulations (local, state, and federal). For more information on print-material
disposal, please see the section
