Photopolymers for industrial 3D printing
Evonik has developed two new photopolymers, Infinam RG 3101 L and Infinam FL 6300 L, for industrial 3D printing.
They expand the product line of synthetic resins introduced just this year, which are suitable for use in common photopolymer 3D printing processes such as SLA or DLP. Evonik is presenting the new products for the first time at Formnext. Infinam RG 3101 L is another specialty resin for use in SLA and DLP 3D printing technologies from Evonik's Innovation Hub in Singapore.
The ready-to-use material combines outstanding impact resistance with high temperature resistance and very good mechanical properties. The 3D components printed from Infinam RG 3101 L, such as drones, buckles or automotive parts, can be processed by machine and remain unbreakable even when subjected to strong forces.
With Infinam FL 6300 L, Evonik and the Viennese 3D printing company Cubicure are commercializing an innovation project launched jointly in 2019. The hot lithography printing process developed by Cubicure makes it possible to process high-viscosity light-curing polyester resins for the first time. In contrast to conventional stereolithography, hot lithography uses light-induced polymerization to create objects at an elevated processing temperature. The process allows for a significantly wider range of processable components. The result of this collaboration is the first industrially usable elastomer from the photopolymer class. Infinam FL 6300 L enables the additive production of highly flexible 3D objects that impress with material properties that are essential for elastomers: in addition to outstanding low-temperature elasticity, its strengths include dynamic load cycles of up to one million load cycles.
