Photopolymer Jetting Printing

We use this technology to produce parts in a translucent resin material. Thin-walls in this material enable visibility of liquid flow and internal details. It is strong enough to be machined, drilled, chrome-plated or used as a mould.

The 3D object is sliced into 16-micron layers that are then built one by one on top of each other with support structures. Each layer is cured with light. The support structures are washed off the model at the end of the build and do not leave any remnants characteristic of rigid support structures found on machines such as SLA systems. Once the support is washed off the surfaces are clean and smooth. Several parts can be built at a time: the building envelope is 260mm x 260mm x 200mm. FullCure is the material we use: a translucent yellowish resin material. The full mechanical datasheet for this material is available in PDF here.
