Frequently Asked Question(FAQ)

What is BioMed Resin, and what are its main characteristics?: BioMed Resin is a biocompatible photopolymer resin designed for SLA 3D printing, suitable for medical and dental applications requiring sterilizable, safe-to-use components.

Is BioMed Resin certified for medical use?: Yes, BioMed Resin is typically certified under ISO 10993 for biocompatibility. Always verify the specific certifications and compliance with regulatory requirements in your region.

Can BioMed Resin be sterilized?: Yes, it can be sterilized using common methods such as autoclaving, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific sterilization procedures.

Is BioMed Resin suitable for long-term implantation?: BioMed Resin is generally intended for short-term use. For long-term implantation, additional testing and certifications are required. Consult with the manufacturer and regulatory bodies.

What colors are available for BioMed Resin?: It is typically available in clear or white colors, suitable for medical and dental applications.

Are there any special considerations when printing with BioMed Resin?: Yes, strict cleanliness protocols must be followed to maintain biocompatibility. Use dedicated equipment and workspaces to avoid contamination.

What layer height is recommended for printing with BioMed Resin?: Layer heights between 25-50 microns are recommended to achieve high detail resolution and surface finish.

Do I need to adjust exposure settings for BioMed Resin?: Yes, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal exposure settings, as they may differ from standard resins.

Can I use standard SLA printers for BioMed Resin?: Yes, but it's recommended to use printers that are dedicated to medical applications to prevent cross-contamination.

Is an open or closed resin system better for printing with BioMed Resin?: A closed system is preferable to minimize exposure and contamination risks

How should I handle BioMed Resin prints during post-processing?: Use gloves and follow strict hygiene protocols. Post-processing should occur in a clean environment, and parts should be handled minimally to prevent contamination.

How long should I UV cure BioMed Resin prints?: Follow the manufacturer's recommended curing times, typically longer than standard resins, to ensure complete curing and biocompatibility.

How do I sterilize BioMed Resin prints?: Use sterilization methods compatible with the resin, such as autoclaving, ethylene oxide, or gamma radiation. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Can BioMed Resin prints be painted or colored?: Altering the surface may affect biocompatibility. Any coatings or additives must be biocompatible and approved for medical use.

How do I remove support structures without compromising biocompatibility?: Use sterile tools and handle parts in a clean environment. Supports should be designed to minimize contact with critical areas.

Why are my BioMed Resin prints exhibiting surface defects?: Surface defects can result from contamination, incorrect exposure settings, or equipment issues. Ensure all equipment is clean and properly maintained.

What causes warping or deformation in BioMed Resin prints?: Warping can occur due to internal stresses or inadequate support structures. Ensure proper support placement and adjust print settings as necessary.

How do I prevent contamination of BioMed Resin parts?: Maintain a clean workspace, use dedicated equipment, and follow strict hygiene protocols during printing and post-processing.

Why are my prints not meeting biocompatibility standards?: Ensure that all handling and post-processing procedures align with the manufacturer's guidelines and regulatory requirements.

How do I fix prints adhering too strongly to the build platform?: Adjust initial layer settings or use build platform coatings recommended by the manufacturer.

Can BioMed Resin be mixed with other resins to adjust properties?: No, mixing resins can compromise biocompatibility and is not recommended.

Is BioMed Resin suitable for dental aligners or retainers?: Specific formulations may be suitable for dental applications, but verify with the manufacturer and ensure compliance with dental regulations.

How does humidity affect printing with BioMed Resin?: High humidity can interfere with resin curing and may affect print quality. Print in a controlled environment with low humidity.

Can BioMed Resin be used for tissue engineering or scaffolding?: It may be suitable for certain research applications, but consult with the manufacturer and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.

How should I store BioMed Resin to maintain its properties?: Store in its original, sealed container, away from light, heat sources, and moisture. Follow any specific storage instructions provided by the manufacturer.
