Sterilization Results Ultracur3D ST 45
x45 Natural, x45 Clear, and x45 Black
This document is intended to provide guidance for manufacturers regarding sterilization of the 3D printed materials. BASF3D Printing Solutions GmbH has performed specific sterilization tests for the materials 3D printed employing Ultracur3D ST 45. Indications on material changes that can occur during the sterilization process were studied. It remains the responsibility of the device manufacturers and/or end-users to determine the suitability of all printed parts for their respective application.
The test specimens were provided to the external laboratory (Steris GmbH) for EtO sterilization treatment. Steam Sterilization was performed internally.
