3Dresyn VAM IM-UHT-WS, ultra tough and water soluble sacrificial resin for VAM 3D printers

Product description

3Dresyn VAM IM-UHT-WS is recommended for printing water soluble WS sacrificial 3D printed resins.

This material is an ultra hard and tough water soluble photopolymer designed for VAM 3D printers, providing high rigidity, high tensile strength, tack free finishes after light box postcuring and high resolution once tuned to specific VAM printer specifications and after full workflow implementation.

Application framework

Designed for use in VAM 3D printers for fabrication of water soluble sacrificial parts, including thin rigid mold walls intended to maximise solubility speed and minimum resin consumption.

Typical applications

• Water soluble sacrificial 3D printed resins
• Thin rigid mold walls to maximise solubility speed and minimum resin consumption
• Sacrificial printed parts requiring tack free finishes after light box postcuring

Measured mechanical properties

Testing & processing disclaimer

Soluble materials may swell instead of dissolve in some printing settings, especially when they are cured at high relative power such as with high power setting. Final printability, solubility, swelling behavior and part performance must be validated by the user according to the intended application, printer configuration and processing conditions.

Disclaimer

This material is supplied as a professional manufacturing material and is not marketed as a finished medical device. Final part performance and suitability must be validated by the user according to the intended application.
