MATERIAL HANDLING
Emergency (MSDS)
•
Chemtrec USA (800) 424-9300; 1-703-527-3887
Packaging Inspection
•
The VisiJet® material cartridge are packaged in shipping cartons . Upon receipt
of material shipments, inspect cardboard carton exterior for signs of damage and
leakage . If leakage is observed, DO NOT open carton, and contact 3D Systems’
Technical Support Hotline . If no leakage is observed, keep the material cartridge in
their cartons and store until material is used .
Part Building
•
If uncured material is observed on the part or platform after build, this is an abnormal condition, and is an indication the printer
requires servicing by 3D Systems or a certified servicing reseller. Assume any liquid or paste-like material is part material. Do not
directly touch uncured part material without protective gloves . Discontinue use of the printer pending service by a 3D Systems
Technical Support Representative .
•
Flammability and Combustibility
•
Do not expose materials to heat at or above 230°F (110°C), flames, sparks, or any source of ignition. (Though the U.S. Department
of Transportation does not consider VisiJet materials a “flammability hazard,” they do classify them “combustible” based on
flash points.) For more information on VisiJet material flash points and combustibility, see VisiJet® Material Handling and Post
Processing Guide .
Personal Protection Equipment
Exposure to uncured part material may occur when removing and disposing of the waste pan . To prevent
contact, wear chemically resistant protective gloves - nitrile or neoprene gloves are recommended . Do not use
Latex gloves .
In the event of a leak or spill of uncured part material, wear safety glasses with side shields to provide eye
protection
Because of the printer’s built in engineering controls, respiratory protection is not necessary during normal
operation . A NIOSH-approved (or equivalent) dust mask is recommended when dry sanding cured material parts .
