3Dresyn IM-SF Cocoon – Non-Water-Soluble Soft Sacrificial Resin for Wax & Silicone Injection

Product description

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

The material enables controlled mechanical breakage while maintaining flexibility, allowing safe removal without damaging delicate wax or silicone casts.

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
• Applications requiring safe manual mold removal

Measured mechanical properties

• Shore hardness: A90 (ISO 868)
• Low tensile strength (ISO 527 indicative)
• Very low viscosity: <50 mPa·s (internal method)
• Very low shrinkage: <1% (internal method)
• High resolution: up to ~20 µm (process-dependent)

Functional performance characteristics

• Soft and flexible mechanical behavior
• Controlled mechanical breakage 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
• Low viscosity for improved printability
• Organo-tin free formulation

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.

Why choose 3Dresyn® IM-SF Cocoon

• Soft flexible sacrificial cocoon system for delicate applications
• Enables safe removal without damaging wax or silicone casts
• Optimized for thin wall cocoon molds (~1 mm)
• High resolution with very low shrinkage
• Compatible with SLA, DLP and LCD technologies

Regulatory & legal notice

This material is supplied as a professional manufacturing material and is not marketed as a finished product. Final casting performance, breakage behavior and process validation remain the responsibility of the user depending on printer, geometry and workflow conditions.
