The Stratasys F170 3D printer is GREENGUARD Certified per UL 2094 when using ABS, ASA and QSR materials, validating its safety and compatibility with classrooms and office environments. GREENGUARD Certified products meet low chemical emission liits established by UL Solutions, a global independent safety science company.
UL 2904 defines the criteria to measure and judge chemical and particle emissions from 3D printers. A printer/material combination is GREENGUARD Certified once it is tested and meets the requirements of UL 2904. UL 2904 certification applies to a printer and material combination. This is because emissions result from the interaction between the printer’s extruder and the material used. However, the enclosed build chamber on Stratasys FDM 3D printers assists with emission containment and GREENGUARD Certification compared to open printers.
While there are no regulatory requirements for this certification, it is globally accepted as a sign of low emissions and no additional ventilation is required to maintain good indoor air quality in the printing area. All Stratasys platforms are OSHA-compliant and meet safety standards.
