What are the safety considerations of 3D printing with resin?

Ventilation: Resin 3D printing should be done in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling fumes and vapors emitted during the printing process.

Skin contact: Resin can be irritating to the skin, so it is important to wear gloves when handling resin and printed objects.

Eye protection: Resin can cause irritation or damage to the eyes, so wearing safety goggles is recommended when working with resin.

Chemical exposure: Resin contains chemicals that can be harmful if ingested or absorbed through the skin, so it is important to handle it with care and follow proper safety protocols.

Fire hazard: Resin is flammable, so it is important to keep it away from open flames and heat sources.

Post-processing: When post-processing printed objects, such as sanding or painting, it is important to wear appropriate protective equipment to prevent exposure to resin particles and fumes.

Waste disposal: Properly dispose of resin waste and used containers according to local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.

Equipment maintenance: Regularly maintain and clean 3D printing equipment to prevent resin spills and leaks, and to ensure safe operation.

Training and education: Ensure that anyone working with resin 3D printing is properly trained on safety procedures and protocols.
