Fine Tuner VAM FT5 Bio WS, Water-Soluble Photoaccelerant for VAM

Fine Tuner VAM FT5 Bio WS is a water-soluble bio-based plant-based photoaccelerant additive designed to increase the cure speed of water-soluble 3Dresyns VAM resins for VAM printers working with ultraviolet and visible lights up to 500 nm.

Designed for incorporation into volumetric additive manufacturing workflows using water-soluble VAM resins in VAM printers working with ultraviolet and visible light sources up to 500 nm.

• Increasing cure speed of water-soluble VAM resins
• Increasing printing speed in VAM workflows
• Fine tuning VAM printing workflows in high power and low power printers
• Volumetric additive manufacturing workflows

• Recommended wavelength range: up to 500 nm
• Suggested dosage in high power VAM printers: <0.5-1 wt% incremental steps
• Suggested dosage in low power VAM printers: <1-2 wt% incremental steps
• Increase dosage gradually to increase printing speed

• Density: 0.90–1.20 g/cm³, depending on formulation and, where applicable, selected version (ISO 1675)
• Resolution and dimensional accuracy can be increased with Fine Tuner VAM LB3 Bio ULWA
• Viscosity: optimized within the processing range required for the intended printing process and application
• Avoid over dosage to prevent overcure and potential loss of resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy
• Overdosage may lead to loss of resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy

• Water-soluble photoaccelerant additive
• Bio-based, plant-based
• Increases cure speed of water-soluble VAM resins
• Increases printing speed in VAM printers

• Water-soluble

• Compatible with VAM printing workflows using water-soluble resins
• Suitable for high power and low power VAM printers
• Requires careful dosage control to avoid overcure
• Please do not expose any 3D resins to natural or room light to prevent their curing

Final cure speed, printing speed, resolution, precision and dimensional accuracy depend on resin formulation, dosage, printer irradiance, wavelength, exposure conditions and processing workflow. Optimization must be performed under actual printing conditions.

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