About product versions and SKUs
Product versions and SKUs
3Dresyns® Products are designed as multivariable photopolymer systems rather than as a single fixed formulation configuration.
Within this framework, a Product defines the general material system and application framework, while versions and SKUs identify specific controlled configurations of that system.
This structure allows 3Dresyns to provide standard, optimized, and customized configurations while maintaining technical traceability between the Product, the supplied version, the applicable documentation, and its intended processing or application conditions.
Product as a material system
A 3Dresyns Product may represent a broader formulation platform capable of being configured according to different processing, performance, printer, color, viscosity, or functional requirements.
The Product name therefore identifies the general system or material family. It does not necessarily mean that every version or SKU supplied under that Product name is identical in composition, physical properties, processing behavior, appearance, or functional performance.
Versions as controlled system configurations
Different versions of a 3Dresyns Product may reflect intentional controlled variations including, where applicable:
- viscosity level;
- color or pigmentation;
- transparency or optical characteristics;
- printing-speed optimization;
- cure-rate adjustment;
- resolution adjustment;
- mechanical-property tuning;
- functional additives;
- filler or functional-phase content;
- printer-specific or process-specific optimization;
- application-specific modifications; or
- other controlled formulation or processing adjustments.
Such versions may remain part of the same underlying 3Dresyns Product system while representing technically distinguishable configurations.
Classification of several versions within the same Product system does not mean that those versions are chemically, physically, functionally, or regulatorily identical.
SKUs and supplied Product identity
Each SKU identifies a specific commercial configuration supplied by the Company.
Depending on the Product structure, an SKU may identify factors such as Product version, configuration, package size, color, viscosity, functionality, or another defined supply option.
The SKU, Product version, batch or lot information, and applicable documentation should therefore be considered together when identifying the specific material supplied.
The existence of multiple SKUs for a Product does not necessarily mean that they represent unrelated materials. It reflects the multivariable nature of the 3Dresyns system and the need to distinguish controlled supply configurations for technical, commercial, and traceability purposes.
Version-specific properties
Properties reported for one Product version or SKU should not automatically be assumed to apply identically to another version or SKU unless the applicable documentation expressly states that they do.
Changes in viscosity, pigmentation, functional additives, filler content, cure response, or other formulation variables may affect printing parameters, processing behavior, measured properties, appearance, or application-specific performance.
Accordingly, customers should use the technical information applicable to the specific Product version or SKU supplied to them.
Version-specific printer compatibility
Printer compatibility or printing parameters established for one Product version should not automatically be transferred to another version where the relevant configuration has changed.
Different versions may require different exposure parameters, calibration, Fine Tuner levels, temperature, homogenization, printing conditions, or other processing adjustments.
A printer-specific validation, Curing Rate Table (CRT), Instructions for Use (IFU), or calibration result should therefore be interpreted according to the Product version and printer conditions for which it was issued.
Further information is available in Compatibility with SLA, DLP, LCD & Inkjet printers.
Version-specific technical documentation
Technical Data Sheets (TDSs), Instructions for Use (IFUs), Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), Curing Rate Tables (CRTs), specifications, and other Product documentation may be version-specific.
Where documentation identifies a Product version, SKU, revision, date, or other applicability reference, that information should be used to determine which document applies to the Product supplied.
A document issued for one Product version should not automatically be assumed to govern a materially different or subsequently revised version unless the Company indicates that the document remains applicable.
Safety and regulatory documentation
Where a change in Product configuration affects information that must be reflected in applicable safety, classification, labelling, regulatory, or other legally required documentation, the relevant documentation shall be updated or supplied as required by applicable law.
Grouping different commercial versions within the same Product system does not override regulatory requirements applicable to the specific substance, mixture, Product configuration, or market concerned.
Measured properties and Product versions
Measured properties should be interpreted in relation to both the specific Product version and the processing and testing conditions under which the values were obtained.
A change in Product version may affect mechanical, physical, thermal, optical, dimensional, electrical, dielectric, conductive, rheological, or other properties.
In addition, properties measured on printed or cured parts remain dependent on printer, printing parameters, cleaning, post-processing, post-curing, conditioning, specimen preparation, and testing methodology.
Further information is available in the Company's Guarantee of properties policy.
Customized versions
A customized Product may remain technically related to an existing 3Dresyns system while incorporating controlled modifications requested or developed for a particular customer, printer, application, or performance target.
Customized versions may therefore have their own version identifier, SKU, technical documentation, specifications, processing conditions, or other traceability information where appropriate.
The existence of a common underlying Product platform does not mean that a customized version has identical properties or processing requirements to the corresponding standard version.
Batch and lot traceability
Product version and SKU identification should be distinguished from batch or lot identification.
A version or SKU identifies the relevant Product configuration, while a batch or lot identifies a particular manufacturing lot of that configuration for quality-control and traceability purposes.
Products from different manufacturing lots may therefore belong to the same Product version or SKU.
Further information is available in the Company's Lot numbers policy.
Changes to future Product versions
3Dresyns may develop, improve, reformulate, optimize, replace, or discontinue Product versions or SKUs for future production due to technical development, quality improvement, safety considerations, regulatory requirements, raw-material availability, supply-chain changes, printer developments, or other legitimate reasons.
Where appropriate, a material change may be identified through a new Product version, SKU, documentation revision, or other traceability mechanism.
A change introduced for future production does not retroactively alter the identity, specifications, documentation, or contractual commitments applicable to a Product already supplied.
Orders for a specific version or SKU
Where an order, quotation, or individually negotiated agreement expressly identifies a particular Product version, SKU, specification, or configuration, the Company shall supply the Product according to the applicable contractual terms and permitted tolerances.
The Company's ability to develop or modify future versions does not authorize substitution of a materially different configuration under an existing contract where such substitution would result in non-conformity with an expressly agreed requirement or mandatory law.
Current documentation
Customers should retain documentation supplied with or applicable to the specific Product version and batch received.
Documentation subsequently published for a newer Product version may not necessarily apply retrospectively to an earlier Product version.
Where uncertainty exists concerning which TDS, SDS, IFU, CRT, specification, or other document applies to a Product, customers may contact info@3Dresyns.com and provide the Product name, SKU, version, lot or batch information, and order reference where available.
Governing principle
A 3Dresyns Product defines a material system or formulation platform. Versions and SKUs identify controlled configurations within that system. They may remain technically related while having different compositions, properties, processing requirements, documentation, or application characteristics.
Relationship with other Legal Terms
This policy must be read together with the Company's applicable Product documentation, Guarantee of properties, Compatibility with SLA, DLP, LCD & Inkjet printers, Terms & Conditions, and Legal Terms.
Mandatory rights
Nothing in this policy permits the Company to replace an expressly ordered Product with a materially different Product or configuration where doing so would breach an applicable specification, contractual commitment, conformity obligation, Consumer right, or other requirement that cannot lawfully be excluded or modified.
