Fine Tuner FT1, fast photo accelerant up to 410 nm

Product description

Fine Tuner FT1 is a general-purpose photo accelerant additive designed to increase the cure speed of 3Dresyns photopolymer formulations in SLA, DLP, LCD and Inkjet 3D printing systems operating with ultraviolet or visible light sources up to 410 nm.

The additive is recommended for use with printers based on UV or visible lasers, LEDs, standard DLP projectors and LCD systems, including 405 nm blue LED platforms.

This formulation is intended to improve curing speed in systems where printer light power (mW/cm²) and/or exposure time cannot be adjusted, enabling progressive speed optimization through controlled additive dosing.

Application framework

Designed for incorporation into vat photopolymerization and related photopolymer workflows using SLA, DLP, LCD, mLCD and Inkjet technologies in professional and industrial environments.

Typical applications

• Increasing print speed in UV and visible-light 3D printing systems
• Fine tuning cure speed in printers with fixed exposure settings
• Optimization of low-power LCD and mLCD printing workflows
• Controlled cure acceleration in high-power laser and DLP systems

Recommended use guidelines

• Recommended wavelength range: 150–410 nm
• Suitable for 405 nm blue LED, UV lasers, visible lasers, standard DLP projectors and LCD systems
• Suggested dosage in high-power printers: 0.1 wt% incremental steps
• Suggested dosage in low-power printers: 0.5–1 wt% incremental steps
• Add progressively and mix thoroughly with the base resin before evaluation

Functional performance characteristics

• Increases cure speed of compatible photopolymer systems
• Supports print speed optimization in fixed-power printers
• Useful for progressive calibration of exposure behavior
• Enables fine tuning of printing performance without changing printer hardware settings

Processing and handling performance

• Compatible with SLA, DLP, LCD, mLCD and Inkjet workflows
• Particularly useful where printer power and exposure time cannot be modified
• Requires gradual optimization to avoid overcure
• Excess dosage may reduce resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy

Packaging and use format

• Supplied as a kit
• Includes the additive, one graduated beaker and one empty 250 mL black bottle
• Kit is intended to support measurement, mixing, storage and protection from daylight
• 100 mL of Fine Tuner FT1 is typically sufficient for fine tuning approximately 10–20 litres of 3D resin, depending on dosage

Testing & processing disclaimer

Final cure speed, dimensional behavior and print accuracy depend on resin composition, printer irradiance, wavelength, exposure conditions, layer thickness and post-processing workflow. Fine tuning must be validated by the user under the intended printing conditions.

Disclaimer

This product is supplied as a formulation additive for professional use in photopolymer engineering and additive manufacturing workflows. It is not a standalone printable material. Final printing performance and suitability must be validated by the user according to the intended application.
