Spilled Material
• Spills of material are HIGHLY UNLIKELY, and should NOT occur in normal operation of the 3D printer system . If a leak occurs, it is
an indication of a serious 3D printer system malfunction .
•
The first priority is to protect users from inadvertently touching material. Spills of support material can be cleaned without use of
protective gear, and disposed of as office trash. Handling uncured part material requires use of nitrile gloves and other personal
protective equipment to ensure no direct contact with uncured part material . If you don’t know which material it is, assume it to be
uncured part material, and handle accordingly - with the recommended personal protective equipment .
• Promptly remove spilled material, dispose of waste material, and clean up materials per local regulatory requirements . Discontinue
use of the 3D printer system, and contact 3D Systems Technical Support for a service visit to determine and repair the source of
the leak .
• Small spills of uncured liquid part material can be cleaned up using disposable towels, non-reusable rags, or absorbent materials
such as sawdust, clay, diatomaceous earth, or activated charcoal . If spilled material is hot (liquid), wait until it cools before wiping
up . After wiping up the spill, wipe surface with denatured or isopropyl alcohol and clean thoroughly with soap and water .
• Consider avoiding placement of the 3D printer system over carpeting, or consider use of barriers to avoid the possibility of carpet
damage if spills were to occur .
• Advise service provider involved of the spilled material, and provide GHS/SDS and other material information prior to contact with
the material . Advise them of disposal requirements for part material and clean-up products if part material (uncured) is the spilled
material . Use of heat above 65°C (149°F) may prove helpful in removing spilled part material from carpet .
• Tools contaminated with part material should be cleaned prior to reuse . Solvents such as denatured alcohol or Isopropyl Alcohol
(IPA), are normally required to clean equipment and tools . Wash with soap and water to remove any traces of excess part material
or solvent . Contact solvent suppliers for information on proper handling of solvents if used for clean-up .
Waste Removal
CAUTION: Uncured part material is a sensitizer . Skin or eye irritation could occur when exposed to the chemical
composition of the material .
• Wear protective gloves before removing any waste product from the 3D printer system . Be careful not to spill, drop, or expose
others to these materials - particularly part material . Dispose of all waste material appropriately according to local regulatory
requirements .
• Dispose of waste bag containing both support and uncured part material .
