Stereolithography: Materials & datasheets
We use materials that combine high shape stability with attractive material properties. On top of that, the resins have a limited sensitivity to humidity. Depending on your requirements, the stereolithography part can be finished by sandblasting and possibly spraypainting or can be used as a master for casting techniques.
Poly1500
PP-like material comparable to engineering plastics; suited for rigid, functional prototypes; large range of applications (e.g. automotive components, electronic housings, medical products,...)
TuskXC2700T / Tusk2700W
Tusk2700 is suitable for strong, water-resistant prototypes with ABS- and PBT-like specifications (e.g. parts for water flow analysis, wind tunnel testing,...)
Tusk SolidGrey3000
The strength and durability which nature achieved with the shell of a turtle, has also been achieved with Materialise’s newest material. Tusk SolidGrey 3000 is the world’s first stereolithography material that combines a high degree of stiffness with high impact resistance, and it is available exclusively at Materialise. Parts built with this material are not only robust, but highly functional as well, allowing them to be used in a wide variety of applications.
Flex70B
Flex resins are extremely flexible rubber-like materials, suitable for automotive and mechanical applications (e.g. respirator masks, catheters, sealings, cushionpads,...)
NeXt
NeXt is an extremely durable resin, suited for very accurate parts with high feature detail, for tough, complex parts with good moisture resistance and thermal properties. NeXt is ideal for functional end-use performance parts like snap-fit designs, impellers, duct work, connectors, automotive housings, dashboard assemblies, etc.
Protogen White
Protogen White is suited for general purpose applications with ABS-like specifications and ideal for markets that demand accurate RTV patterns, durable concept models, highly accurate parts.
Xtreme
Xtreme is a resin with good all round properties including a high impact strength, a high elongation at break and excellent surface quality. Xtreme is ideal for tough enclosures, snap fit assemblies and replacing CNC machined parts.
NanoTool
NanoTool produces strong, stiff, high temperature resistant parts, suited for wind tunnel tests for aerospace and automotive applications. It exhibits superior sidewall quality, along with excellent detail resolution which makes it for instance ideal for metal plating purposes.
WaterClear
WaterClear material is suitable for prototype parts that require fully neutral transparency. This WaterClear material has lower mechanical properties than TuskXC2700T.
