keyprint 76987 3D Printing Resins

PRODUCT INFORMATION

KeyGuideTM resin is a 3D printing resin designed for intra-oral use in guided dental implant surgery by dental professionals. The resin contains acrylated monomers and oligomers and is formulated and made in the USA with global materials.

Warnings & Precautions

Follow all recommended validated settings for biocompatible print results.
Review the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use.
Be careful not to splash when pouring the resin.
Store in a cool, dry place and away from light.
Contains acrylate monomers and oligomers which may cause an allergic reaction in individuals sensitive to acrylic-containing products.

Processing Tips
Ensure that resin is tempered to ambient temperature before use.

Cleaning and Post-Cure Treatment Instructions

Remove part from the printer and build the platform.
Remove support structures from the part if necessary.
Perform a final treatment, such as polishing the part.

Sterilization Tips

The KeyGuideTM surgical guide its final fabricated form is not sterile and should be sterilized by the use of a steam autoclave prior to the intended use.

In Case of Emergency
In case of emergency, contact INFOTRAC at 800-535-5053 with customer number 76987. For more information on product usage and guidelines, please visit keystoneindustries.com.

Processing Tips

Ensure that resin is tempered to ambient temperature (20-25˚C/68-77˚F) prior to printing.
In order to achieve consistency of the resin and to prevent bubbles, agitate the bottle 1 hour prior to use. If bubbles are present, remove with a clean instrument/spatula.
Only use KeyPrint® product-specific predetermined settings for your DLP 3D printer. KeyGuide™ should be used with a 385nm – 405nm UV light source. Printers using alternative light sources require validation by Keystone’s technical team for optimal settings. Unless specified, always print using the settings provided at keystoneindustries.com.
Resin coated parts should be cleaned with Isopropanol (at least 97%) within approximately 8 hours from the completion of the print. Do not allow the parts to sit in Isopropanol for longer than 5 minutes as the properties may begin to deteriorate.
Keystone discourages the use of denatured alcohol or ethanol for cleaning as it may diminish or degrade the quality of the finished parts.

Directions for cleaning and post-cure treatment of printed part(s)

Remove part from printer and build platform.
Remove support structures from the part if applicable (Optional: remove supports before or after post-cure).
Place in Stage 1 Isopropanol (IPA) bath. This bath is used for the first wash of any part coming from the printer.
Remove excess liquid resin from the printed part. This can be done by running fingers over the surface, swishing or vibrating with the part submerged in the IPA bath.
Transfer the part(s) into a Stage 2 IPA bath. In order to achieve optimal final print quality, use fresh IPA with lower concentration of contaminants. Using a soft scrub brush or toothbrush can help remove excess resin.
Use compressed air to dry the part, looking for residual liquid resin, which will be visible as it remains glossy. If residual resin remains, repeat steps 5 & 6 as needed.
Place the part in a post-processing cure box, being sure to place the part flat to prevent warping. Refer to keystoneindustries.com to locate validated cure box settings. Our resins are compatible in cure boxes with UV wavelengths of 250nm – 390nm.
Allow the part to cool completely before removing it from the cure box to prevent surface defects or warping.
Perform final processing (i.e. polishing).
Part is ready for sterilization.
