	CAUTION: Do not touch hot surfaces.

一般用法

The Form Cure provides the light and heat necessary to post-cure 3D-printed parts to their optimal properties. The final performance characteristics of cured photopolymer resin may vary according to your compliance with the instructions for use, application, operating conditions, material combined with, end use, or other factors.

Warning:

General usage: You must independently verify the suitability of additive manufacturing, stereolithography, the Form Cure, and any specific designs or materials employed for the application and intended purpose before use. In no event shall Formlabs be liable for any loss, death, or bodily injury that you suffer, or that you cause to any third party, in connection with your use of Formlabs products. To the fullest extent legally permitted Formlabs EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED OR EXPLICIT WARRANTY OF FITNESS for a particular usage, the particular nature and circumstances of said usage being unforeseen and unforeseeable to Formlabs.
Medical usage: Formlabs is not a manufacturer of medical devices. Formlabs provides tools and materials that may be used in many applications, but makes no claims as to the safety or effectiveness of any specific devices made using Formlabs products. Certain Formlabs products, such as those commonly known in the industry as “biocompatible” resins, have been engineered to comply with relevant industry standards. The specific standards and most relevant technical specifications may be identified within the technical data sheets and have been tested according to relevant testing protocols for those standards and specifications. Formlabs resins for biocompatible applications are a speciality product, developed for use by medical professionals, and should be used in accordance with their instructions for use.
Modification: Do not modify—The Form Cure is intended for use as-is. Modifying the unit without explicit approval and directions from Formlabs will invalidate your warranty, and could potentially ruin the machine and cause you bodily harm. Never remove the bottom panel of the unit.
Manual: Read and understand the manual and its safety instructions before using the Form Cure. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

備考：

アディティブマニュファクチャリング（積層造形）では造形作業ごと、または1つの造形品内で物性が本質的に変化する場合があります。その違いが目には見えない場合があり、結果的に積層造形したパーツに予想外の欠陥が生じる原因になる恐れがあります。

個人用保護具（PPE）

警告：

皮膚刺激性：レジンは皮膚刺激やアレルギー性皮膚反応を引き起こす可能性があります。液体レジンまたはレジンが付着した表面に触れる際は、必ず手袋を着用してください。レジンが皮膚に付着したら、石鹸と水で念入りに洗い流してください。

注：

目を痛める危険：サポート材の取り外し方法によっては、サポート材の小さな破片が破損することがあります。造形品の取り外しを行う場合は、こうした破片から目や手の皮膚を保護するために、防護ゴーグルや手袋をご着用ください。

電子部品

The Form Cure is a professional appliance that includes electronic components. As with any such appliance:

Warning:

Do not operate the Form Cure with a damaged cord or plug.
Always disconnect power before cleaning.
Only use well-maintained equipment.
Operate on a clear and level surface.

表面が熱くなる

The Form Cure (2nd Generation) contains two 450 W heaters to help ensure parts are strong after post-curing. While the heaters and fan designs limit overheating and the heaters are insulated to contain heat, surfaces of the Form Cure and printed parts may be hot during and after use.

注：

熱くなっている表面表面に触れないでください。熱くなっている恐れがあります。

Observe the following precautions when using the Form Cure:

Take care when removing parts from the Form Cure. The metal turntable can remain hot during and after a cure cycle.
Always allow the turntable to cool completely before touching or cleaning.
Like any heating appliance, a fire may occur if the Form Cure maintains extended contact with flammable materials, such as walls or curtains. Keep the Form Cure away from walls and curtains.
Keep the area surrounding the turntable clean, and only post-cure parts that have been completely dried. Accumulation of cured material creates the possibility of malfunction.

光と熱

The Form Cure uses heat and 405 nm light to post-cure 3D-printed parts. The cover includes an interlock system that is designed to automatically pause heating and extinguish the cure lights when the cover is open.
