Heavy Duty - Engineering SLA Series | FormFutura
The FormFutura Engineering SLA Resin - Heavy Duty is a high-performance material designed for use in open-source SLA, DLP, and LCD 3D printers with a wavelength range of 385-405nm.
It boasts an impressive flexural strength of 135 MPa, making it one of the strongest resins on the market. Additionally, it exhibits excellent durability, heat resistance (Tg) up to 128°C, and low shrinkage for high dimensional accuracy.
With almost no odor during processing, this resin is suitable for a variety of applications including tooling, jigs and fixtures, manufacturing aids, mold masters for low-volume injection molding, and functional prototyping. Its viscosity at 25°C is 550 cps, and its density is 1.12 g/cm2.
Preparation(s) before starting to print
- Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use
- After shaking the bottle, leave the resin to rest for 10 minutes to let air bubbles get out of the resin
- The resin can be poured back from the vat into the bottle once your print is finished
- The resin can be poured back from the vat into the bottle once your print is finished
- Always use protective measurements like safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling resins
Post-processing
We do advise you to post-process your 3D print in order to achieve the material properties.
- Rinse your 3D printed object in IPA or (Bio)Ethanol for approximately 5 minutes
- An ultrasonic cleaner is preferred/recommended
- An ultrasonic cleaner is preferred/recommended
- Make sure that IPA and/or (Bio)Ethanol rinsed objects are perfectly dry before further post-curing.
- Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use pressurized air for at least 2 minutes
- Cure your object in a high-power curing chamber for approximately 20-30 minutes at 65° C
- The preferred curing wavelength is between 300-410nm
Safety
Please always be aware that when 3D printing with resins you are working with chemicals and that you should always be cautious and use personal protective equipment as stipulated in our safety data sheets.
- Always wear Respiratory Protection when sanding/cutting the resin object
- Always use nitrile gloves when handling resins and uncured resin objects
