Flexible Resins for 3D Printing
Flexible materials find their niche in applications that need a bit of give including snap-fit parts, electrical connects and flexible linkages. These resins have been designed to leverage the high degree of hydrogen bonding in traditional urethane acrylate designs to impart this degree of flexibility on a molecular level.
N3D-F130 is a Polyether Urethane Acrylate Resin:
- Improved resolution over traditional oligomers
- HDPE-Like properties with an optimized strength and elongation
- Easy-to-work viscosity and pourable at room temperature
N3D-F230 is an Urethane Oligomer engineered resin system:
- High urethane content lends itself to an extended property space
- Easy formulating to polypropylene, and polyethylene-like properties
- High recovery for snap-fit parts
Impact Resins
Where part design requires no compromises on the mechanical integrity of your material these robust impact resins feature building blocks designed to optimize service life of your part. This material line has been specifically designed no not only increase the impact resistance of particular resin systems, but simultaneous complement the modulus sacrifices often realized in toughening mechanisms.
N3D-I150 is a Polycarbonate Urethane Acrylate:
- Beyond the standard property scope in strength, modulus and elongation
- Thermoplastic-like with select monomer packages
- High clarity, non-yellowing resin
- Impact resistant properties
N3D-I250 is a Polycarbonate Urethane Oligomer:
- Balance of modulus and elongation when formulated for increase impact over traditional urethane acrylate oligomers
- Polycarbonate backbone provides rigidity while an increased MW provides low volumetric shrinkage
ELASTOMERIC RESINS
Where material demands of softness and tear resistance are critical to the service lifetime, these engineered resins leverage particular designs to surpass the rigors of athletic, orthopaedic and audio (ear-bud, or hearing aid) applications.
N3D-E180 is a Urethane Elastomer Engineered resin design for 3D printing:
- Superior elongation achieved through high molecular weight design
- Moderate modulus achieved through unique design as opposed to relying on the cross-link density contribution to hardness
- Excellent recovery for rebound of elastomeric parts
CASTING RESINS
Successful investment casting’s stem from clean and gentle burning materials. Materials designed with low thermal expansion and melt-before burn characteristics provide these castings with high likelihoods of success when used for investing jewellery and dental parts.
