3D-printing resins are known to be brittle materials. It can be experienced that objects break easily. This brittleness comes from the many cross-links and stiff back-bone of the photopolymers. During exposure, the polymerization process starts and is linking all monomers together, forming a highly cross-linked and stiff network. Tougher materials are required for a lot [...]

3D-Printed parts are used in a wide range of applications. In some of these applications the parts are exposed to petrol, cleaning agents or other chemicals. Our engineering team started to investigate the resistance of common chemicals on 3D-printed parts. Compatibility of 3D-printed and post-cured resin parts were tested with several chemicals. The weight of [...]

Post-processing is an essential part of resin 3D-printing. Printed parts need to be cleaned, dried and post-cured. The washing and drying steps are explained at the support article 'how to post process SLA, DLP & LCD printed objects'. The next step that follows is post-curing. Post-curing of 3D-printed parts Post-processing is necessary to get the [...]

During the development of Liqcreate Strong-X resin, we studied all available high strength resins to find out what was missing, so we could develop it. In this article we want to share the knowledge we gained during this research. All data is obtained from the official manufacturers datasheet and the source is copied below. There [...]

After printing and removing the object from the build plate, it is necessary to clean the green part. It is advised to rinse at least 4 - 5 minutes in Liqcreate Resin Cleaner, IPA or (Bio) Ethanol, preferably ultrasonic or under agitation. After cleaning, gently remove the supports with a model cutter. The last step [...]
