* Material properties may vary based on part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Data for post-cured samples were measured on Type IV tensile bars printed on a Form 2 printer with 100 μm Surgical Guide Resin settings, washed in a Form Wash for 20 minutes in ≥99% isopropyl alcohol, and post-cured at 60 °C for 30 minutes in a Form Cure.
Post-Processing
Washing
Surgical Guide Resin may be washed using either a Formlabs-validated wash unit (1) or an ultrasonic wash unit (2).
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.
