  • Stereolithography Materials | Somos 9120

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.

  • Stereolithography Materials | Someos 9120

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.

  • Stereolithography Safety (SDS)

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).

  • Stereolithography Material Guides

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.

  • Stereolithography Materials Somos BioClear

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.

  • Stereolithography Materials for Neo Series 3D Printers

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.

  • Stereolithography Materials for Neo Series 3D Printers

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.

  • Somos® resins for Neo 3D printers

In partnership with Covestro Additive Manufacturing (formerly DSM) and its Somos® resins, the Neo 3D printers can run the most technically advanced stereolithography materials.
