- Tensile Modulus: 2750 MPa
- Light Transmission: 85% at 2 mm thickness
- HDT @ 0.45 MPa: 60°C (Post-cured)
- Shore Hardness: 82D
Engineers across Australia use this resin for lenses, lighting prototypes, and transparent housings. Additionally, the material acts as a superior master mould for secondary casting processes. Because it is highly rigid, it maintains dimensional stability throughout the printing process. This makes it a primary choice for Sydney-based industrial design firms.
Standard Applications for Engineering and Design
Our clients frequently utilise this material for showcasing internal mechanical movements and assemblies. Furthermore, the high light transmission makes it ideal for custom optics and light pipes. The speed of the Form 4 ecosystem allows for multiple design iterations within a single production day.
