Model and
Support
Materials Model and support materials are made of chemical substances . Although
precautions must be taken when handling these materials directly, all
model and support materials used by the Objet system are handled in
sealed cartridges. Normally, operators of the printer should never be
directly exposed to hazardous materials. In the unlikely event of a leak or
spill, follow the instructions that are included with the printing material
cartridge used.
Store cartridges of model and support materials indoors, in a dry area
with adequate ventilation, between 16 27 degrees Celsius (60 81
degrees Fahrenheit). Never expose them to flames, heat, sparks, or
direct sunlight.
Keep model and support materials away from areas where food and
drink are stored, prepared and consumed.
Uncured printing material is considered a hazardous substance,
requiring certain precautions when directly handling it. To prevent skin
irritation, wear
neoprene or nitrile gloves . If there is any chance that
model and support materials might splash into the eyes, wear safety
goggles. Prolonged direct contact with printing materials can cause an
allergic reaction.
When handling UV cured models that may not be completely cured on
the surface, common latex gloves are adequate.
To prevent respiratory irritation, ventilate areas where model and
support materials are used. The ventilation system should totally
replace the air at least 20 times per hour.
Clean up model material and support material spills with disposable
towels or other absorbent, non reusable material, such as sawdust or
activated charcoal. Rinse the spill area with denatured or isopropyl
alcohol (IPA), followed by soap and water. Dispose of the absorbent
material in accordance with local regulations.
Do not wash contaminated clothing at home; clothing should be
professionally laundered.
Dispose of contaminated shoes, belts and other leather items in
accordance with any applicable regulations. Absorbed printing
material may re expose the user when these items are worn.
