D. DRYING
1. Remove parts from Isopropyl Alcohol and leave to air dry at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
NOTE: Dry times can vary depending on the design of parts and ambient conditions. Do not let parts
sit in Isopropyl Alcohol for longer than needed.
2. Inspect printed parts to ensure that parts are clean and dry. No residual solvent, excess liquid resin
or residue particles should remain on the surface before proceeding to subsequent steps.
3. If the residual solvent is still present, dry parts longer. If resin residue is still visible, rewash parts
until clean and dry.
E. POST-CURING
Place the printed parts in a Formlabs-validated post-curing unit and cure for the required time.
1. Form Cure or Form Cure L:
a. Submerge parts in a transparent, water filled container. Place the container inside the cure unit,
and cure for 30 minutes at 70 °C.
b. Allow the cure unit to cool down to room temperature between cure cycles.
2. Fast Cure: Optimal Fast Cure settings coming soon.
F. SUPPORT REMOVAL & POLISHING
1. Remove supports, with assistance of cutting pliers or other appropriate finishing tools as needed.
2. Inspect the parts for any cracks. Discard if any damage or cracks are detected.
G. CLEANING & DISINFECTION
1. Parts may be cleaned and disinfected according to facility protocols. Tested disinfection method:
soaking the finished part in fresh 70% IPA for 5 minutes. Do not leave the part in the alcohol
solution for longer than 5 minutes.
2. After cleaning and disinfection, inspect the part for damage or cracks to ensure that the integrity of
the designed part meets performance requirements. Discard if any damage or cracks are detected.
H. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USAGE
1. For trays used for guided restorative techniques, apply a separating agent to reduce adhesion of
the tray to composite materials.
I. HAZARDS, STORAGE & DISPOSAL
