How safe are Formlabs materials?
3D printing offers incredible precision and detail, but it's crucial to prioritize a safe workspace when working with resins, solvents, and powders. Safety data sheets (SDS) should be used in safety assessments for all Formlabs materials.
Additionally, Formlabs printers and devices have several features that help to mitigate possible working hazards. For more information, consult the manual and follow Formlabs guidelines for safe working conditions.
Safety with Formlabs SLA materials
Recommendations for safe handling of resin and solvents for the Form Wash, such as TPM and IPA, are available through the Formlabs support site. PDFs of the SDS for each of our materials are available through our Materials Catalog.
Formlabs takes the potential hazards of chemicals like ACMO seriously, and maintains a firm commitment to user safety. Innovative features, like spill-minimizing resin cartridges, ACMO-free resins, and comprehensive support systems create a safer, more reliable printing experience.

Safety with Formlabs SLS material
Fuse Series printers have several features that help to mitigate possible working hazards. In general, when working with SLS powders, avoid dispersing the powder in air, regularly clean powder spills and deposits with electrically grounded vacuums approved for dust collection, and keep powder containers tightly closed when not in use.
Recommendations for safe handling of powder are available through the Formlabs support site. PDFs of the SDS for each of our materials are available through our Materials Catalog.
