Material Description Advantages Considerations Applications

11120 WaterShed

Used to build either a 3D model or a hollow pattern (QuickCast) for investment casting, this material provides a highly accurate part with a clean, detailed surface finish.  Can be built at .004 - .006 inch layer thickness.
  • Accurate with high detail capability
  • Excellent surface finish
  • Can be painted, dyed, polished
  • Can be processed for near optical clarity
  • Rugged rigid material
  • Tolerances +/- 0.005 or better, (Dependant upon part geometry and size)
  • Concept models
  • Fit and function
  • Applications requiring optical clarity for flow analysis, light pipes
  • Patterns for investment casting
  • Excellent patterns for RTV molding
DMX-SL 100

DMX-SL100 is an extremely durable SL Resin that produces very accurate parts with high feature detail. Based on a whole new chemistry platform that gives the DMX material high impact resistance similar to thermoplastics. Tough, complex parts can be built with a superb surface finish.

The DMX-SL100 Resin produces parts that are much more resistant to breakage than parts made with standard SL resins, and is ideal for use in functional testing applications as well as low volume manufacturing applications where toughness is required.

  • More resistant to breakage
  • Functional testing capable
  • Excellent surface finish
  • High Strength
  • Tolerances +/- 0.005 or better, (Dependant upon part geometry and size)
  • Living Hinge and snap fit designs
  • Impellers
  • Duct work
  • Connectors
  • Durable Prototypes
  • Excellent for strong patterns
