Somos® PerFORM™ HW

  • Somos® PerFORM HW: Advanced 3D Printing Material for Precision Injection Molds

Enabling Advanced 3D Printing Solutions

Somos® PerFORM HW is tailored for P3TM, Digital Light Processing (DLP), and Liquid-crystal display (LCD) 3D printing technologies, catering to the specific needs of injection mold development. This cutting-edge material offers exceptional dimensional stability and minimizes warpage, crucial for precision and quality.

3D printing with Somos® PerFORM HW provides a host of advantages over traditional manufacturing methods. It accelerates development processes, speeds up production, unlocks design creativity, and lowers the total cost of ownership. Manufacturers can swiftly iterate designs before final production, reducing time and cost.

Creating injection molds, especially for low-volume or intricately detailed parts, has historically been time-consuming and expensive. However, DLP and LCD 3D printing eliminate these barriers. These technologies offer rapid printing speeds, with a lower entry cost, making additive manufacturing accessible to transitioning companies. Additionally, on-demand local production with DLP or LCD printing reduces unplanned downtime associated with mold maintenance.

Stratasys presents Somos® PerFORM HW, an optimized version of the renowned Somos® PerFORM, finely tuned for DLP technology. This resin excels in stiffness and high-temperature performance, making it ideal for applications like injection molding tools.
