Study Shows Some 3D Printed Objects Are Toxic

<p><pre><code> But the precise identity of these substances is often unknown to researchers and printer users because the printer manufacturers don’t disclose this information. </code></pre> That&#x27;s not entirely honest. That statement conflates the idea that there is no information available to end users, detailing how 3D printing technology works, when the truth is that the information is out there, and most of the materials involved in consumer-grade plastic 3D printing kind of HAVE TO BE well-understood from a chemical perspective in order for the printers to be designed around them.<p>FormLabs does publish material safety data sheets:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.shopify.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;files&#x2F;1&#x2F;0183&#x2F;2285&#x2F;files&#x2F;MSDS_v7.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cdn.shopify.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;files&#x2F;1&#x2F;0183&#x2F;2285&#x2F;files&#x2F;MSDS_v7.pdf</a><p>So does Stratsys:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.stratasys.com&#x2F;ig8del&#x2F;lnk000&#x2F;=usglobalimages.stratasys.com&#x2F;Main&#x2F;Secure&#x2F;MSDS&#x2F;ABS-ESD7&#x2F;MSDS_ABS-ESD7-US.pdf?v=634938477402699705" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.stratasys.com&#x2F;ig8del&#x2F;lnk000&#x2F;=usglobalimages.stratas...</a><p>The larger companies DEFINITELY force you into using THEIR proprietary plastics, when open-source printers permit the use of commodity ABS or PLA.<p>ABS - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styren...</a><p>PLA - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Polylactic_acid" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Polylactic_acid</a><p>But, realistically speaking, just based on the fact that it&#x27;s possible to cobble together open-source 3D printers from commodity parts and commodity expendable plastic, should inform the reader that the materials used by 3D printers are not so mysterious. In most cases the materials are acrylic&#x2F;styrene based polymers, and not so exotic that they haven&#x27;t been used for decades. Whether they&#x27;ve EVER been safe is another question altogether.<p>The article neglects and glosses over these details.

&gt; She found that after exposing the parts to ultraviolet light for one hour, the parts are significantly less toxic to zebrafish embryos. The UC Riverside Office of Technology Commercialization has filed a patent for this work.<p>What the fuck. Filed a patent for shining some UV light to decontaminate parts before using them? What the actual living fuck. That is what labs do (and should be doing) ANYWAY for a lot of equipment before starting experiments.

That&#x27;s not surprising for UV-triggered photopolymers. A material that will go from a liquid to a solid with just a nudge from some UV light has to be quite reactive. Here&#x27;s the Material Safety Data Sheet for one of Stratasys&#x27;s &quot;bio-compatible&quot; materials.[1] That stuff has to be contained in a cartridge for safety reasons. Once fully cured, it&#x27;s supposedly safe for dental devices. Here&#x27;s Form 1&#x27;s clear material.[2] Lower hazard ratings, but still hazardous.<p>If the curing reaction doesn&#x27;t go to completion, some of the source material will remain, which is a problem. If further exposure to UV reduces toxicity, the 3D printing process isn&#x27;t finishing the curing process.<p>ABS extruders should produce objects no more toxic than the raw ABS. ABS is rather neutral chemically. When heated, it may give off &quot;irritating vapors&quot;, says the MSDS,[3] and its combustion products are toxic, but cold, it should be harmless.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;usglobalimages.stratasys.com&#x2F;Main&#x2F;Secure&#x2F;MSDS&#x2F;Dental%20and%20BIO-Compatible%20Materials&#x2F;DOC-06135-Objet-MED610-Biocompatible-Clear-US.pdf?v=635508817295287425" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;usglobalimages.stratasys.com&#x2F;Main&#x2F;Secure&#x2F;MSDS&#x2F;Dental%...</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.cmu.edu&#x2F;afs&#x2F;cs&#x2F;academic&#x2F;class&#x2F;15294-s15&#x2F;resources&#x2F;CLEAR+MSDS+v10.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.cmu.edu&#x2F;afs&#x2F;cs&#x2F;academic&#x2F;class&#x2F;15294-s15&#x2F;resou...</a> [3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;download.makerbot.com&#x2F;filament&#x2F;ABS_MSDS_MakerBot_Stratasys.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;download.makerbot.com&#x2F;filament&#x2F;ABS_MSDS_MakerBot_Stra...</a>
