As with other manufacturing techniques, the 3D printing process can be challenging and demands a level of expertise and familiarization.
This guide aims to help designers produce quality, cost-effective parts on the Stratasys® H350™ 3D printer. The guide provides information for both new and experienced users.
The topics covered in this guide describe tools and methods for optimizing design features, strength, and durability of printed parts and ensuring that the parts meet your expectations. It provides best practices and tips on designing for additive manufacturing and examples of how to take advantage of Stratasys' unique features to get the most out of your H350 printer while minimizing printing costs and post-processing issues.
The Stratasys H350™ 3D printer, leveraging Selective Absorption Fusion™ SAF™ technology, as part of the H Series™ production platform, is designed to deliver functional, production-grade parts with best-in-class* consistency. Grow your part production business and stay competitive with a workflow you can control and cost per part you can accurately predict.
The H350 lets you tailor your production to suit your application. Re-use unfused powder to reduce material costs. Fine-tune print settings to your specification – all whilst using SAF technology to achieve accurate, functional parts consistently. Select finishing processes and equipment to maximize production efficiency in your business.
The need for movable parts is a constant when it comes to prototyping. Being able to ensure the proper fit for parts within a component can save both time and money. Whether you’re in the electronic, automotive or consumer goods industries, the Somos® 9120™ Series provides the ultimate solution for form, fit and function with parts that are semi-flexible.
A translucent stereolithography material for when you need to see the inner workings of the part you’re creating.
Somos® 9120 is a transparent stereolithography resin that is easy to use and fast to build. This stereolithography resin produces translucent, accurate parts that are semiflexible. Parts produced with Somos® 9120 exhibit excellent water and temperature resistance and mimic polypropylene.
Somos® 9120 is ideal for applications such as fluid flow analysis, electrical casings and automotive parts. As this material is semi-flexible, it can also be used for snap-fit functional testing.
Every material comes with a safety data sheet (SDS) to provide you with information to properly handle that specific liquid stereolithography resin. While there are risks of skin sensitization, these can be easily prevented with good housekeeping, good hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Formulated differently than conventional materials, UV-curable products require particular instruction for their safe handling. The information provided in this guide is designed to acquaint you with UV-cure technology, identify its potential hazards, and provide general direction and guidelines for the safe application and efficient use of solvent-free, UV-curable products.
This booklet is a guide for safe handling only. The precautions outlined here should be followed in close combination with instructions provided on our product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), as well as in consultation with your representative regarding your specific product.
Somos® BioClear has passed cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, and USP VI. A toxicological profiling of the components has been performed. A Device Master File to support this material is accessible through the FDA. Ask a sales representative for more information.
Steps in the production process of 3D printed parts can influence the final part safety. This document gives guidance on areas to pay attention to when using Somos® BioClear.
Improve efficiency with clear, accurate guides and models.
Perform faster, more accurate procedures with customized cutting guides and surgical models made with Somos® BioClear. Not only will this decrease the recovery time for patients, it can also lessen the chances of repeat procedures.
Somos® BioClear fulfills the requirements for non-implantable limited body contact (<24hr) medical and dental applications. Somos® BioClear has passed stringent ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10 Irritation & Sensitization, and USP Class VI testing, after following the cleaning procedure as described in the Somos® BioClear user guide.
Parts produced from Somos® BioClear are accurate, clear and have ABS-like mechanical properties and a good combination of strength and toughness. The material is resistant to moisture and many common solvents and chemicals.
Fast and easy production of quality hollow composite tooling parts, that are easy to remove after the autoclave process.
While basic composite shapes with constant cross sections are easily manufactured using traditional composite manufacturing techniques, complex parts with hollow interiors present a unique challenge. Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed the process. High-temperature, cost-effective tools can now be produced in days, compared to the weeks or even months required for traditional tooling, and provides a cost-effective solution even for small series production.
Somos® DMX SL-100, a durable and tough stereolithography (SL) resin, is an efficient and cost-effective solution that produces very accurate parts with a superb surface finish and high feature detail, promoting greater design freedom for composite applications.
Somos® DMX SL-100 withstands the high temperatures utilized in the autoclave process for composites manufacturing maintaining its flexural strength, elongation and tear resistance. These unique properties allow, at a certain temperature, for mandrels to be removed from complex and convoluted geometries through a “dry removal” process which is unique for a solid mandrel. Other soluble wash out cores need submerging in caustic which can affect the composite part. No other material in the industry is as easily and best removed after the autoclave process, facilitating the more efficient production of complex, hollow composite parts.
This method of using additive manufacturing to produce sacrificial tooling is straightforward and enables multiple iterations to be implemented quicker by the user.
In partnership with Covestro Additive Manufacturing (formerly DSM) and its Somos® resins, the Neo 3D printers can run the most technically advanced stereolithography materials.
