3D Printing – Additive Manufacturing Technology
What technologies for tomorrow’s Additive Manufacturing needs
Key types photopolymer based on 3D printing
- Vat Polymerization – Stereolithography, SLA and DLP printing
- Jetting Technology – Bank of inkjet heads
- Binder Technology – Liquid that binds solids, most often sand for large casting
Vat Photopolymerization
Material Jetting
Binder Jetting
Benefits from UV curable acrylate resins
- Monomers applied in 3D formulations to reduce the viscosity and enhance cure speed of final print
- Oligomers applied in 3D formulations to deliver the strength and elongation targets
3D Printing Requirements
- Low viscosity
- Fast cure speed
- Low shrinkage
- Good strength
- Good flexibility
