Ajustes de tiempo de la Form Wash/Form Wash L

Ajustes de tiempo de la Form Wash/Form Wash L

La Form Wash/Form Wash L retira la resina sin curar de la superficie de las piezas impresas bañándolas y agitándolas en un disolvente al mismo tiempo. La Form Wash/Form Wash L se puede utilizar con alcohol isopropílico, Resin Washing Solution de Formlabs o éter monometílico de tripropilenglicol (TPM).

Aviso:

Consulta siempre la ficha de datos de seguridad (FDS) del proveedor de tu disolvente como fuente primaria de información para el almacenamiento y la manipulación.

La tabla de abajo indica los tiempos recomendados para lavar en la Form Wash/Form Wash L las piezas impresas con las resinas de Formlabs. Formlabs actualiza los ajustes de lavado periódicamente con materiales nuevos y mejorados. Descarga la última versión en PDF (solo en inglés) y comprueba si hay ajustes de lavado actualizados cuando utilices una resina nueva o una formulación revisada.

Nota:

Cuando uses éter monometílico de tripropilenglicol, lava tus piezas impresas igual que lo harías con alcohol isopropílico. Haz lavados más largos si es necesario. Algunas resinas no absorberán el éter monometílico de tripropilenglicol ni se hincharán tanto al exponerse al disolvente. Consulta el artículo de asistencia Lavado de impresiones con TPM para obtener más información sobre el proceso de lavado con TPM y el efecto del TPM en las resinas.

Silicone 40A Resin20 minutes
  • Follow the instructions in the Silicone 40A Resin IPA sonication wash guide for best results with washing parts printed in Silicone 40A Resin.
  • Alternatively, wash parts printed with Silicone 40A Resin in an 80/20 mixture of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and n-butyl acetate. Do not wash with IPA alone unless following the instructions in the Silicone 40A Resin IPA sonication wash guide.
  • Only use Formlabs-approved solvents with the Form Wash.
  • Only use n-Butyl Acetate/IPA mixture in an unused Form Wash bucket that has not been exposed to other solvents.
  • Once a Form Wash bucket has been used with n-Butyl Acetate, do not switch to pure IPA. Doing so risks compromising the integrity of the bucket plastic.
  • If you notice cracking or crazing on your Form Wash bucket, discontinue use immediately, empty of solvent, and contact Formlabs.
  • Formlabs does not recommend using Resin Washing Solution to wash parts printed in this resin.

* Lava las piezas impresas en alcohol isopropílico con una concentración del 99 % o más para cumplir las normas de biocompatibilidad. Reserva una cubeta de lavado exclusivamente para las resinas destinadas a aplicaciones biocompatibles y así cumplir los requisitos de biocompatibilidad.

** Las piezas con dos tiempos de lavado requieren dos ciclos de lavado. Utiliza disolvente limpio para el segundo ciclo de lavado. El primer ciclo de lavado elimina la mayor parte de la resina, mientras que el segundo ciclo limpia completamente las piezas.

Cambios respecto al tiempo de lavado recomendado

Consejo:

Sigue estas buenas prácticas para lavar las impresiones y conseguir que las piezas queden lo más limpias posible.
