When handling 3D printing material (photopolymers) refer to the material Safety Datasheet (SDS) and Instructions For Use (IFU) for correct material handling.
Please see our Materials tab for more information on ASIGA resin before printing.
General safety: Always consult the SDS as the primary source of information to understand safety and handling of Asiga materials.
Seek medical attention if eye contact occurs.
If skin contact occurs, wash the area thoroughly with cold soapy water.

Modification: Do not open Asiga printers and/or investigate internal components unless under the guidance of Asiga or an authorised reseller. Contact Asiga Support or an Authorised reseller for any additional guidance. All steps that involve opening a printer and/ or investigating internal components should be done by skilled persons under the guidance of Asiga Support or an authorised reseller.
Unauthorised maintenance: Unauthorised disassembly or repair procedures may damage the printer and void the warranty. For assistance contact an Asiga authorised representative (Asiga technical support or an Asiga reseller).
Personal protective equipment: Wear personal protective equipment when performing maintenance tasks. Use tools only as described.
Moving parts: Disconnect the power cable before maintenance. Moving parts present crushing and tangling hazards.
