How to work with Liqcreate resins on the Formlabs Form 2 resin 3D-printer?
Formlabs was founded in September 2011 to develop the first affordable desktop SLA 3D printer. Its record breaking $2.95 million kickstarter campaign was the kick-off of the first affordable resin 3D-printer. Later in September 2015, Formlabs announced the Form 2 3D-printer. This printer was upgraded with a larger build volume, heated resin vat and wiper. [...]How to work with Liqcreate resins the Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K and what are the differences with the competitor LCD MSLA resin 3D-printers?
Phrozen3D entered the resin 3D-printing market with resin based LCD / MSLA printers in 2016. Initially they launched a couple 3D-printers in the >$1000 range all based on LCD technology. They have been one of the first companies to develop a bigger LCD platform, next to the more expensive Structo3D Dental 3D-printer. Since 2020, Phrozen [...]How to process Premium White and other 3D-printed resin parts to get non-sticky finished parts?
Liqcreate Premium White is an opaque white photopolymer with excellent UV-stability. 3D-printed parts from this material show no discoloration and stay perfectly white, even after long-term UV exposure. Liqcreate Premium White is easy to use on all open source LCD and DLP 3D-printers in the range of 385 – 420nm. This material has excellent properties [...]What is the best Flexible or elastic SLA, DLP and LCD 3D-printing resin for your application?
Whilst the 3D-printing market grows rapidly, the demand for better 3D-printing materials grows with it. This leads to the development of a wide variety of materials. All new types of resins are finding their way into the market for specific applications. Earlier we wrote an article about the Strongest and Toughest materials available. One of [...]Working with Liqcreate Wax Castable 3D-printing resin for Jewelry applications
Liqcreate Wax Castable is a blue wax-based photopolymer with reliable processability and accuracy on LCD/MSLA, DLP and laser based 3D-printers. 3D-printed parts from this material captures intricate features and show crisp details. This wax-based material offers smooth surfaces with clean burnout for a reliable casting process. Create custom made elegant organic geometries with positive and [...]Chemical compatibility of 3D-printed resin parts
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 [...]How to support parts printed in Liqcreate resin?
An important factor in the quality of 3D-printed parts is the support structures. These supports can vary for each 3D-printer and for each material. Support of 3D-printed parts In general rigid polymers like Deep Blue, Strong-X, Premium White/Black/Model are easy to print with a combination of light and medium supports as shown in Figure 1. [...]Are Liqcreate resins compliant to the RoHS directive?
RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products. Sometimes there is confusion between RoHS and REACH. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. Both are regulations of the European Union. The main difference between RoHS and REACH is that […]
