3Dresyn® IM-SF Cocoon MF Bio is a soft and flexible monomer-free (MF) sacrificial photopolymer designed for the fabrication of cocoon-type molds intended for manual removal after casting of soft materials.



3Dresyn IM-SF Cocoon MF Bio - Monomer-Free Bio-Based Soft Sacrificial Resin
Product description
Application framework
Designed for use in vat photopolymerization systems (SLA, DLP and LCD) within controlled professional environments. Suitable for the fabrication of non-water-soluble sacrificial cocoon molds for soft material injection workflows.
Typical applications
- Soft flexible cocoon sacrificial molds
- Molds for wax and RTV silicone injection
- Otoplastic and hearing aid workflows
- Sacrificial tooling for soft materials
Mechanical properties
- Shore hardness: A90 (ISO 868)
- Low tensile strength (ISO 527 indicative)
- Very low shrinkage: <1% (internal method)
- High resolution: up to ~20 µm (process-dependent)
Physical properties
- Density: 0.90–1.20 g/cm³, depending on formulation and, where applicable, selected version (ISO 1675)
- Printing shrinkage: no measurable dimensional shrinkage after calibration under validated processing conditions
- Very low viscosity: <50 mPa·s (internal method)
Functional performance characteristics
- Soft and flexible mechanical response
- Controlled mechanical fragmentation without damaging soft casts
- Non-water-soluble sacrificial system
- Optimized for cocoon wall thickness ~1 mm
- Suitable for injection of waxes and RTV silicones
Processing and handling performance
- Printable with most commercial and professional SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printers
- Monomer-free (MF) formulation
- Bio-based resin system
- Organo-tin free
Testing & processing disclaimer
Material performance depends on printer type, exposure conditions, mold geometry and casting workflow. Breakage behavior and final results must be validated under the intended application conditions.
