*Material properties may vary based on part geometry, print orientation, print settings, temperature, and disinfection or sterilization methods used. Data were measured on post-cured samples printed on a Form 3B+ with 100µm IBT Flex Resin settings, washed in a Form Wash and cured in a Form Cure according to the Manufacturing Guide. IBT Flex Resin was tested at NAMSA World Headquarters, OH, USA.
Post-Processing
Washing
The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol wash. Please refer to the material's manufacturing guide/IFU for washing instructions.
SETTINGS
Curing
For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies. Please follow the material’s manufacturing guide/IFU for proper post-processing.
