Tough 3D Printing Resin

Tough 3D Printing Resin:

3D META's Tough 3D printing Resin is engineered to deliver strength and durability while maintaining precision and fine detail, making it the ideal choice for demanding 3D printing projects. This resin is specifically designed to handle functional and mechanical parts that require extra toughness without sacrificing the smooth finish and accuracy typically associated with standard resins. Whether you’re prototyping products that require impact resistance or printing high-stress functional parts, 3D META's Tough printing resin will provide consistent, professional-grade results every time.

Key Features of Tough 3D Printing Resin:

• High Impact Resistance: One of the most important characteristics of Tough 3D printing resin is its ability to withstand impact and mechanical stress. This makes it ideal for producing parts that will be subjected to high wear and tear or frequent use.
• Durability and Strength: Tough printing resin offers superior tensile strength and toughness compared to regular resins, allowing your prints to withstand greater forces without breaking or cracking.
• Smooth Surface Finish: Despite its strength, this resin ensures that your printed objects still maintain a smooth, professional-grade finish. Post-processing is kept to a minimum, making it a time-efficient choice.
• Fast Curing Time: Tough 3D printing resin features optimized curing, so your prints solidify quickly and can be handled or used sooner, all without compromising the print quality.
• Low Shrinkage: Like all of 3D META's resins, this material exhibits low shrinkage during curing, meaning your prints will retain their shape and dimensions reliably, reducing the risk of warping or distortion.

Applications of Tough 3D Printing Resin:

Thanks to its enhanced durability and impact resistance, Tough 3D printing resin is ideal for a variety of applications:

• Functional Prototypes: For prototypes that need to withstand stress testing or serve as working models, this resin provides the toughness required for durability.
• Mechanical Parts: Suitable for parts that need to endure repeated mechanical stress or force, Tough printing resin is perfect for gears, brackets, and similar components.
• Consumer Products: Create sturdy, functional items like phone cases, tool handles, or other everyday objects that benefit from high impact resistance.
• Custom Engineering Parts: Engineers and designers looking for high-performance materials for complex designs will find Tough 3D printing resin versatile and reliable for professional-grade applications.

Directions:

Shake well before use, always use gloves and mask when handling. Before pouring into vat inspect FEP sheet for any dents, deep scratches or holes and that the FEP sheet is clear (transparent), clean, and free of any debris. Do NOT fill vat past max fill line. After printing strain remaining resin back into bottle and tighten lid. Store in a cool, dry place until next use, avoid direct sunlight.

Post Processing:

Once printed, models need to be washed with IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) to remove excess resin and dried with a lint-free cloth, paper towel or compressed air. Once dried, model needs to be cured under a 405nm UV light for 1-5 minutes depending on size, then rinsed off with water. Beware: overcuring can cause yellowing, brittleness and cracking.

Safety Information: 

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS. Avoid skin or eye contact, inhalation or ingestion. Resin not suitable as a food and drink container or for use in aquariums. Please refer to products MSDS for safety information, available below at info@3dmeta.com.au
