In prototyping, light-curing 3d printing has significant advantages. Today, its application has gradually expanded to the production of end parts in automotive, medical, general consumer products, and even aerospace. It takes constant breakthroughs in material properties to revitalize the most mature 3d printing technology used in industry. Today Zongwei Cube will bring you to understand what high-performance light-curing 3d printer consumables are currently available on the market.
High-strength resins
High-strength resins are comparable in strength to ABS. The material balances strength and elongation, resulting in 3D printed products with better impact resistance and strength for the production of automotive, industrial and consumer products. Carbon's release of EPX81, for example, has mechanical properties comparable to PBT with 20% glass filler, and offers a heat deflection temperature of 140 degrees Celsius and high abrasion resistance.
Flexible resins
Flexible resins are not as flexible as elastomeric resins. The material is semi-rigid, abrasion-resistant, and repetitively stretchable, making it suitable for applications requiring toughness and resistance to repetitive stress. The material has high impact strength and is ideal for manufacturing housing components.
Medical Resins
Designed for use in medical systems, skin-contact devices, drug-contact devices, and disposable medical supplies, this product produces safe and reliable end products for patients. Medical resins vary by application. General pharmaceutical products require sterilizing compatibility and chemical resistance, and dental resins require good mechanical properties and biocompatibility.
In addition to the above light-curing 3d printer consumables, there are elastic resins, transparent resins, etc. The breakthroughs in materials have expanded the scope of application of light-curing technology, and we look forward to this technology becoming more mature and popularizing it to more people.
