Thermal aging of engineering resins for 3D-printing
With the adoption of Liqcreate resins in the consumer goods, automotive and aerospace sector, more data on UV-aging, chemical compatibility and thermal aging is requested. Previously UV-aging and chemical compatibility was tested. The results of UV-aging of Liqcreate 3D-printing resins can be found here. Chemical resistance and chemical compatibility of Liqcreate 3D-printing resins is published [...]The Longer Orange 4K resin LCD 3D-printer.
The Longer Orange 4K LCD/MSLA 3D-printer is an open printer with a 405 nm light source, compatible with 3rd party resins. The settings for Liqcreate resins are not yet available. Looking at the 3D-printer specifications, most resins could also work on this printer. A good starting step in settings are the settings published for the [...]UV aging of 3D-printing resin tested by Eindhoven University
Researchers and students at the University of Applied Science investigated the UV aging and UV stability of 3D-printed Liqcreate resins. The aim of this research was determining the effect of UV light on Liqcreate resins in the long-term. The analysed resins in this research were the Tough-X, Flexible-X and Strong-X resins. The resins were aged [...]How to get a clear surface finish on 3D-printed parts?
Clear and transparent 3D prints are ideal for creating clear prototype parts, showing internal cavities and details. Applications like LED housings, prototyping lens parts and microfluidic devices are a few examples of application 3D-printed with clear resin. Learn how propmaker Campman Animatronics used Clear Impact to 3D-print a transparant transverse flute for the Dutch Queens [...]3D-printed Strong-X resin part in freezing conditions
A 3d-printed plastic part can be exposed to different environments in its life-cycle. For some applications, the part is exposed to cold or even freezing conditions. For engineers it is important to know how the 3d-printed material behaves in these conditions when selecting the right material for the application. Recently a company active in cooling [...]Linear shrinkage of 3D-printing resins
In the field of resin 3D-printing there are two mainstream resin technologies. One based on acrylates and the other one based on epoxides. In large scale SLA 3D-printers like from UnionTech, 3DSystems, Raplas, RPS, EnvisionTEC and others, epoxy resins are the standard. These materials cure by a mechanism of ring-opening-polymerization which limits the shrinkage which [...]What is the compression strength of 3D-printed resin?
