2. Introduction
2.1 Intended Use
The Form 3 is a commercial, precision tool intended for use in the additive manufacture of
end-user supplied designs from photopolymer resin. The final performance characteristics
of cured photopolymer resin may vary according to your compliance with the instructions
for use, application, operating conditions, material combined with, end use, or other factors.
In some cases, the additive manufacturing process may inherently result in
variable performance characteristics between manufacturing runs or within a
specific part. Such variances may not be apparent and may result in unexpected
defects in additively fabricated parts.
You shall independently verify the suitability of additive manufacturing,
stereolithography, the Form 3, and any specific designs or materials employed for the
application and intended purpose before use. In no event shall Formlabs be liable for
any loss, death, or bodily injury that you suer, or that you cause to any third party, in
connection with your use of Formlabs products. To the fullest extent legally permitted
Formlabs EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED OR EXPLICIT WARRANTY OF
FITNESS for a particular usage, the particular nature and circumstances of said usage
being unforeseen and unforeseeable to Formlabs.
Formlabs is not a manufacturer of medical devices. Formlabs provides tools and
materials that may be used in many applications, but makes no claims as to the
safety or effectiveness of any specific devices made using Formlabs products.
Certain Formlabs products, such as those commonly known in the industry as
“biocompatible” resins, have been engineered to comply with relevant industry
standards. The specific standards and most relevant technical specifications
may be identified within the technical data sheets and have been tested
according to relevant testing protocols for those standards and specifications.
Biocompatible resins are a speciality product, developed for use by medical
professionals, and should be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
- Do not modify – The Form 3 is intended for use as-is. Modifying the printer without
explicit approval and directions from Formlabs will invalidate your warranty, and could
potentially ruin the machine and cause you bodily harm.
