*** The laser is directed through the bottom of the tank and cures a layer of resin onto the build platform. Then, the resin tank slides over and the build platform raises. The wiper will then sweep across the tank to circulate the resin.

*** Due to friction caused by de-laminating every layer, every part should be canted in its orientation. This means the part should be angled to reduce the cross sectional area needing to be shifted to de-laminate each layer.

*** Due to friction caused by de-laminating every layer, every part should be canted in its orientation. This means the part should be angled to reduce the cross sectional area needing to be shifted to de-laminate each layer. This de-lamination also causes the Form 2 to be the Prototype Lab's slowest 3D printer.
*** Once a part is finished on the Form 2, it must be removed off of the build plate, any excess resin must washed off using the Form Wash, the part must be air dried so that any alcohol from the Wash has evaporated, supported must be clipped off, and the part should be cured in the Form Cure.

*** Once a part is finished on the Form 2, it must be removed off of the build plate, any excess resin must washed off using the Form Wash, the part must be air dried so that any isopropyl alcohol from the Wash has evaporated, the part should be cured in the Form Cure, and supports should be clipped off. Any remaining support marks can be sanded off if so desired.
