WP-12Water-Soluble Sacrificial Portfolio (IM-WS) for SLA, DLP and LCD
Indirect additive manufacturing addresses a structural limitation of direct 3D printing: enclosed channels, undercuts and intertwined cavities cannot be deposited directly. The 3Dresyns® IM-WS family of water-removable sacrificial photopolymers prints a temporary tool by SLA, DLP or LCD vat photopolymerisation and is removed in water once the part has been cast or injected around it. Five mechanical-thermal routes span the design space, from high-HDT sacrificial moulds for ceramic and metal injection moulding to soft compliant mandrels for elastomeric cast geometries. The realised water-removal behaviour is governed not only by formulation chemistry but by the coupling between formulation and photopolymerisation kinetics: low-irradiance cure preserves the dissolution pathway, while high-irradiance cure shifts the realised behaviour toward swelling-only.
Key engineering insights
Five documented routes cover the full design envelope: 3Dresyn IM-HDT-WS, IM-UHR-WS, IM-UHT-WS, IM-HT-WS and IM-SF-WS. Calibration-based methodology applies: formulation sets the intrinsic post-cure target, while printer irradiance and power-time decomposition determine realised behaviour. Cleaning Fluid WS1 Bio and WS2 Bio may support washing or hydrophobic post-cure immersion workflows where applicable.
Portfolio covered
3Dresyn IM-HDT-WS · 3Dresyn IM-UHR-WS · 3Dresyn IM-UHT-WS · 3Dresyn IM-HT-WS · 3Dresyn IM-SF-WS · Cleaning Fluid WS1 Bio · Cleaning Fluid WS2 Bio · water-soluble and water-swellable sacrificial mould-making routes

WP-34Volumetric additive manufacturing — tomographic photopolymer 3D printing
This white paper covers volumetric additive manufacturing using tomographic photopolymer 3D printing, including VAM-specific resin routes and optical curing requirements.
Key engineering insights
VAM relies on volumetric dose accumulation rather than layer-by-layer curing. Resin transparency, photoreactivity, oxygen inhibition, gelation threshold, optical dose control, resolution enhancement and cure-speed tuning are central to successful volumetric printing.

WP-37Mold-Making Resins for Indirect Manufacturing — the 3Dresyns IM Family
This white paper covers mould-making resins for indirect manufacturing through the 3Dresyns IM family, including moulds, inserts, masters and sacrificial or reusable tooling routes.
Key engineering insights
Indirect AM separates the printed tool from the final material. The printed resin must therefore be selected according to mould temperature, stiffness, removal route, chemical resistance, compatibility with the cast or injected material, and downstream post-processing. Sacrificial, reusable and soluble mould workflows require different validation logic.

WP-38Cold Fusion SLS Powder Binders for CMF, CCF, CPF and CEPF - the 3Dresyns Powder-Binder Family
This white paper covers the 3Dresyns Cold Fusion SLS powder-binder family for CMF, CCF, CPF and CEPF routes: a binder-assisted, mould-free indirect sintering route on standard SLS hardware, where the laser fuses a co-binder — or, with the self-sufficient CF3, the binder itself — to form the green part, and final density comes from conventional thermal sintering.
Key engineering insights
Cold Fusion SLS uses a three-role blend: a water- or solvent-soluble binder (CF grade) removed by debinding, a laser-fusible co-binder that builds the green part, and an optional crosslinked PMMA pore former for controlled porosity. The co-binder follows the debinding route — PLA20-80 for the water routes (CF2, CF4) and Nylon for the CF1 solvent route. Two exceptions apply: CF3 SD Bio is self-sufficient and uses no co-binder, since its ultra-low melting point lets the laser fuse it directly on a cold bed; and Cold Polymer Fusion (CF5, for PEEK/PEKK) pairs CF5 with the water-soluble CF2 binder and uses no Nylon, because Nylon degrades above the PEEK/PEKK sintering window. Bed temperature follows the fusible phase, not a fixed low value.
Portfolio covered
CF1 SD Bio · CF2 WD Bio · CF3 SD Bio · CF4 WD Bio · CF5 SD Bio · PLA20-80 and Nylon fusible co-binders · crosslinked PMMA 20-50 sacrificial pore former · Debinding Solution DS1 Bio · Cold Metal Fusion, Cold Ceramic Fusion, Cold Polymer Fusion and Cold Exotic Powders Fusion SLS routes
