For best results, Formlabs recommends washing printed parts in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPM).

Some of our functional resins require post-curing to achieve their optimal material properties, but our standard resins do not.

Visit the Finishing section for more information on how to finish SLA prints.

After completing a print on a Fuse 1 generation printer, the resulting parts are buried in loose, unsintered powder and need to be extracted once the build chamber has cooled. Use the Fuse Sift or the Fuse Depowdering Kit to remove the unsintered powder from your parts and to combine used powder and fresh powder for future printing.

Fuse 1 generation printers surround each printed part with Surface Armor, a semi-sintered shell that minimizes potential thermal inconsistencies which can adversely affect your parts. Media blasting is necessary to remove Surface Armor, and Formlabs recommends media blasting your parts with the Fuse Blast, the Fuse Blast Polishing System, or another media blaster for the best possible finish.
