Part Building
•
If uncured binder is observed on the part or platform after build, this is an abnormal condition, and is an indication that 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 Tech
-
nical 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

Personal Protection Equipment
•
Exposure to uncured binder may occur when removing and disposing of the waste pan. To prevent con
-
tact, wear chemically resistant protective gloves - nitrile or neoprene gloves are recommended. Do not
use Latex gloves. Wear gloves at all stages of handling consumables.
•
In the event of a leak or spill of uncured part material, wear safety glasses with side shields to provide eye
protection. Wear eye protection at all stages of handling consumables.
•
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 during depowdering.
•
Sleeve protectors are required during depowdering.
Packaging Inspection
The VisiJet

binder cartridge are pa
ckaged 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’s Technical Support Hotline. If
no leakage is observed, keep the material cartridge in their cartons and store until material is used.
