Disposal
Support Material
Support material has no known regulatory requirements and may be disposed of in ordinary office waste.
Cured Part Material
Finished (cured) parts can be handled or disposed of the same as standard household plastic products. VisiJet parts are not recyclable. VisiJet materials are not
intended for and cannot be used for medical implant, food, or drink handling applications.
Uncured Part Material and Waste
Uncured part material is classified as regulated, and in some areas hazardous; requiring special packaging, transportation, and disposal. The disposal of partially
cured or uncured part material must comply with all local, state, and federal environmental safety regulations. Applicable part “waste” includes cartridges
(empty or full) and waste pans. Any materials used to clean up uncured part material should be disposed of in the same manner as uncured part material.
Dispose of your uncured parts and waste materials according to your local environmental regulatory agency. If assistance is needed, contact 3D Systems
certified Partners or 3D Systems Technical Support.
3D Systems assumes no liability or responsibility for proper disposal of uncured part material. Proper disposal of uncured part material is the sole responsibility
of the user.
Spilled Material
Spills of material are unlikely, and should NOT occur in normal operation of the 3D printer system.
Spills of support material can be cleaned without the use of protective gear, and disposed of as office waste.
Promptly remove spilled materials, dispose of waste materials, and clean up materials per local regulatory requirements. Small spills of uncured liquid part
material can be cleaned up using disposable towels, non-reusable rags, or absorbent materials to clean spills outside of the printer such as sawdust, clay,
diatomaceous earth, or activated charcoal and placed into containers for transfer to an approved waste disposal site.
Caution: Never put sawdust, clay, diatomaceous earth, or activated charcoal inside the printer, doing so will damage the printer.
If spilled material is hot (liquid), wait until it cools before wiping up. Use of heat above 65° (149°F) may prove helpful in removing spilled support material from
carpet. After wiping up the spill, wipe surface with denatured or isopropyl alcohol and clean thoroughly with soap and water.
Some cleaning solvents are highly flammable such as denatured alcohol and isopropyl alcohol. Before using solvents to clean and remove uncured part material,
be sure read and follow the solvent supplier safety precautions and recommended usage.
Flammability Hazards
Though the U.S. Department of Transportation does not consider VisiJet materials a "flammability hazard," they do classify them "combustible" based on flash
points. Material containers may rupture when exposed to extreme heat. Use National Fire Protection Association Class B extinguishers such as carbon dioxide,
dry chemical, or foam.
