3.1.5 

Ethanol

Ethanol is a flammable chemical. Keep away from ignition sources, including open 
flames, sparks or concentrated sources of heat.

Formlabs does not manufacture ethanol. Consult the chemical manufacturer or 
supplier for detailed safety information. Carefully follow the safety instructions 
provided with the ethanol that you purchase. Ethanol can be flammable, even 
explosive, and should be kept away from heat, fire, or sparks. Any containers 
holding ethanol should be kept closed or covered when not in use. We also 
recommend that you wear protective gloves and have good ventilation when 
working with ethanol.

3.2 

Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Safe operation of the Fuse 1 can be achieved by implementing the following equipment:

 •

Particulate filtering respiratory protection (N95 or better)

Wear a respirator (N95 or better) if the occupational threshold limit value for airborne 
particle concentration has been exceeded, if you are sensitive to dust or pollen, or you 
are concerned about your respiratory health.

 •

Non-reactive nitrile gloves

Recommended when handling loose or unsintered powder, as it may draw moisture and 
oils out of skin. If powder is handled at room temperature, it is not necessary to wear 
protective gloves.

 •

Safety glasses

Required when performing maintenance on the Fuse 1, as well as handling loose or 
unsintered powder at any time. Polycarbonate-based lenses, including prescription glasses, 
are acceptable so long as they provide peripheral protection.

3.3 

Specification of tools to be used

The Fuse 1 shall only be used with supplied accessories and additional tools recommended 
by Formlabs or a certified service provider. Third-party accessories and materials may cause 
damage. Refer to sections 

3.2 Personal protective equipment (PPE)

 and 

6.1 Tools and 

supplies for more information.
Purchase additional supplies:

 •

Alconox

The recommended cleaning agent for removing deposits of laurolactam and other off-
gassing stains from the printer’s optical components. It is the first cleaning agent to be used, 
followed promptly by distilled water and ethanol.

 •

Compliant vacuum that is grounded and bonded (e.g., Class II, Division 2 vacuum)

Certified for use with materials whose fine particles present an explosive risk when in the 
vicinity of potentially malfunctioning electrical equipment.
