Hinweis:

Berücksichtigen Sie immer zuerst das Sicherheitsdatenblatt (SDB) Ihres Lösungsmittelzulieferers zu den Themen Lagerung und Handhabung.

The Form Studio Wash+Cure removes uncured resin from the surface of printed parts by simultaneously soaking and moving them in a solvent. The machine can be used with Formlabs Resin Washing Solution, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), or tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPM).

After your parts are washed and dried, swap the wash bucket for the turntable and switch the machine to cure mode. Place the printed parts on the turntable and post-cure them so the resin achieves its optimal mechanical properties.

The table below indicates the recommended times to wash and post-cure parts printed in Formlabs resins using the Form Studio Wash+Cure. Formlabs updates wash settings periodically with new and improved materials. Check for updated wash settings when using a new resin or revised formulation.

Note:

When using TPM, wash your printed parts as you would with IPA. Use longer wash times if necessary—some resins will not absorb TPM or swell as much with exposure to the solvent. Refer to the support article Washing prints with TPM for more information about the TPM wash process and the effect of TPM on resins.
