  • 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.

  • Stratasys Stereolithography | NEO Series Materials

A stereolithography material engineered to create flawless investment castings patterns.

Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries, our team developed Somos® Element for producing investment casting patterns.

Somos® Element is an antimony-free stereolithography material specifically designed to improve the repeatability and quality of 3D printed casting patterns. Patterns created with Somos® Element leave trace amounts of lightweight, easily-removable ash residue after burnout and have better green strength, so there’s no worry of breakage during handling, while being dimensionally stable during storage. Any residue left behind is easily removed, leaving a perfectly clean void in the ceramic mold. This translates into lower mold prep times and lower rates of rework, saving customers time and money.

Key Benefits

  • Trace amounts of ash that are lightweight and easily removed
  • Suitable for high-end alloy castings
  • Rapid draining
  • Produces accurate, repeatable parts regardless of size
  • Stratasys Stereolithography | NEO Printer Materials
The investment casting material. Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries, Somos® has developed Somos Element™ as the next generation of stereolithography resins designed explicitly for producing Investment Casting patterns.

  • Stereolithography Somos Momentum

Additive manufacturing, and more specifically stereolithography (SL), has enabled a faster route to market for footwear while reducing development costs and aiding the development of more complex shoe designs. With Somos® Momentum, Stratasys provides a compelling solution combining rich feature detail and dimensional stability with more efficient printing outcomes available without compromising surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

Footwear manufacturers face a multitude of challenges, from developing durable solutions to managing design and the range of sizes required. They continue to seek more effective means to develop new designs to meet increasingly diverse customer needs, while also striving to quicken the pace of design and innovation. Additive manufacturing for footwear tooling has played a key role, and the inherent design flexibility, feature detail, and surface quality offered by SL has led this technology into the mainstream. Footwear manufacturers continue to push for faster design iteration, shorter route to market and more cost- and time-efficient approaches.

Stratasys collaborated with key footwear manufacturers to develop an additive manufacturing material that addresses the specific needs for footwear tooling. Somos® Momentum offers higher part accuracy, quality and fine feature detail. The outstanding accuracy of the resin allows the forming of sharp features, which in turn enables the creation of detailed soles not only in initial design but also translated into the aluminum mold. In addition, the pink color of the material makes it easy to discern key features in the design and to inspect the parts for surface defects. Taking this technology a step further, direct printing of the sole will omit the need for detailing or texturing, speeding up the traditional tooling process up to 60%, enabling a cost reduction up to 30%.
