Waste Disposal
Fully cured printed models can be disposed of as ordinary office trash. However, special care is required when handling printer waste (uncured printing material).
Printing Materials
| ➢ | When removing the waste container from the printer, wear neoprene or nitrile gloves. |
| ➢ | To prevent liquid waste from splashing into the eyes, wear safety goggles. |
| ➢ | Liquid waste from the printer is classified as hazardous industrial waste. Therefore, printing-material waste must be packaged and disposed of in a manner that prevents human contact with it and contamination of water sources. |
| ➢ | Empty Model-material and Support-material containers contain residue of their contents. Some leakage of this residue may occur through the broken container seal. Therefore, handle and store empty containers with care. |
| ➢ | Do not attempt to reuse empty containers, and do not puncture them. |
| ➢ | Dispose of used containers and waste containers in accordance with local regulations. |
| ➢ | Discard contaminated clothing, shoes, empty containers, etc., in accordance with any applicable regulations. |
UV Lamps
UV lamps used by the printer to cure printing materials contain a small amount of mercury, and are considered “Universal Waste.” Recycle or discard used lamps in accordance with applicable regulations.
Broken lamps:
After ventilating the area, use protective gloves and carefully remove spilled mercury with a method that prevents the generation of mercury vapor, such as a syringe, packing tape or paper. Place the broken lamp, mercury and contaminated materials in an air-tight, non-metallic container. Dispose of the container in accordance with applicable regulations.
