Product description: Resin for 3D printer FormFutura Engineering Series Heavy Duty 0,5 kg - Grey
FormFutura Engineering Series Heavy Duty is a photopolymer resin withincreased durability,flexural strengthandheat resistance. It is used for advanced technical projects. Designed to work with all open source SLA, DLP and LCD3D printersthat use light in the wavelength range of385 nm to 405nmto cure theresin. The package contains0.5 kg ofproduct in asolid gray color.
Key features of Engineering Series Heavy Duty resin
- Bending strength of Engineering Series Heavy Duty resin is 135 MPa. Temperature resistance of the product is 128°C
- Exhibit high accuracy and low shrinkage. Finished models are rigid and tough
- May emit a low odor during printing
- Engineering Series Heavy Duty resin is compatible with open source 3D printers that use light in the wavelength range of 385nm to 405nm to cure the print material
- Main applications for FormFutura Heavy Duty resin: low volume injection molds, functional prototyping, production aids, jigs and fixtures
Steps to follow before printing
- Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use.
- Afterwards, let the resin stand for about 10 minutes to allow air bubbles to escape from the resin
- After printing, unused resin can be transferred from the printer tank to the bottle
Always wear protective equipment when handling the resin:gogglesand nitrile gloves. |
Final processing of the finished 3D printout
- Ready model should be rinsed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or bioethanol for about 5 minutes.
- The manufacturer recommends the use of ultrasonic cleaner
- Before further curing check if the model is completely dry after rinsing
- Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated room for at least 30 min. (Compressed air can also be used for at least 2 minutes)
- Cure the objects in a special chamber for 20 to 30 minutes at 65°C
- Recommended curing wavelength is from 300 nm to 410 nm
- Respiratory protection must be worn when grinding resin
Specification of Platinum LCD Series resin
- Viscosity: 550 cps at 25°C
- Density: 1.12 g/cm2
The table shows the mechanical parameters of the cured resin. Tested objects were cured for 10 min with with high power mercury curing
