ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent across industries, educational institutions, and even households. Their primary application lies in the production of prototypes and components with intricate geometries. However, despite their widespread adoption, the potential risks these technologies pose to occupational safety and human health remain insufficiently explored. This paper presents a risk assessment of one of the most widely used additive manufacturing processes—Vat Photopolymerization. The evaluation was conducted using the Kinney risk assessment method to identify potential hazards associated with the technology. Based on the findings, appropriate safety measures were proposed to mitigate risks and enhance workplace safety.
