Most Used Materials
While we have a variety of materials in our resin printing process, DL110H, Duramax, and Durable, are the most common and highest quality! (from Photocentric)
DL110H
An incredibly versatile resin that can handle impact, compression, bending and stress fatigue without breaking or deforming.
Optimised for:
- Jigs and fixtures requiring minimal deflection at elevated temperatures
- Cover plates and enclosures
- Fastenings, tools and couplings
- Strong and stiff prototypes
“Photocentric’s Durable range is the most popular material among Photocentric’s functional materials. They can handle impact, compression, bending and stress fatigue without breaking
or deforming.” -Photocentric
Duramax
Creates functional parts that are very durable and long-lasting, with high impact strength.
Optimised for:
- Jigs and fixtures requiring minimal deflection
- Cover plates and enclosures
- Fastenings, tools and couplings
“Photocentric’s Daylight Magna Duramax formulation has been created for manufacturing functional parts that are durable and long lasting with high impact strength. Parts are stiff but can flex under strain, and quickly returning to their original form.” -Photocentric
Durable
Creates functional parts that are durable and long-lasting, with high impact strength.
Optimised for:
- Jigs and fixtures
- Cover Plates and enclosures
- Suitable for end-use parts
“Photocentric’s Daylight Magna Durable formulation is ideal for 3D printing functional parts that are durable and long-lasting, with high impact strength that can also bend without breaking. Printed parts are able to flex under strain and return to their original form.” -Photocentric
List Of All Available Materials And Colors
DL110H
DL110H is the most popular material, with properties such as high impact resistance and compression resistance, and high versatility.
DL110H has three color options in black, white, and smokey quartz.
Duramax
Duramax is very durable and long lasting with high impact strength.
Duramax has one color option in black.
Durable
Durable is one of our newly available resins. Durable creates long-lasting, durable, parts with high impact strength.
Durable has one color option in black.
Flexible DL220B
Flexible DL220B is a newer resin with the key properties of high elongation, impact absorption, efficient energy damping, strong tear strength, and very low water absorption.
Flexible DL220B has one color option in black.
Ultracur3D EPD 1006
Ultracur3D EPD1006 is a high functioning material optimised for engineering and prototyping. This resin has high movement and flexibility without breaking or tearing.
Ultracur3D EPD1006 has one color option in black.
DL110HB
DL110HB is the black color option of DL110H. This option is the most popular by customers. DL110HB is the strongest and most consistent of the DL110H line. The black option our personal recommendation.
DL110HB has one color option in black.
DL110HW
DL110HW is the white option of the DL110H. This option is slightly high priced, as white requires more processing time in pre and post production. DL110HW has essentially identical properties as the black, though requires more finesse.
DL110HTR Smokey Quartz Translucent.
DL110H Smokey Quartz Translucent is the last color option of DL110H. This option is the least traveled resin. DL110HTR again has nearly identical properties as the DL110HB and DL110HW. DL110HTR has the fastest print time capabilities and a unique Amber appearance.
Ultracur3D EPD 1086
A multi-purpose daylight resin suitable for a wide variety of applications with balanced mechanical properties. Ultracur3D EPD1086 has one color option in black.
Ultracur3D EPD 2006
Rigid, durable and long-lasting material which delivers the finest detail possible. Ultracur3D Epd2006 has one color option in black.
Ultracur3D® EPD3500
Strong translucent daylight resin with superior strength and stiffness. Ultracur3D EPD3500 has one color option in amber.
Ultracur3D® EPD4006
Ideally suited for making large-scale objects where a hard finish is essential. Ultracur3D EPD4006 has one color option in black.
Ultracur3D® FLD5006
Optimised for applications which require a combination of high energy return, high elongation and tear strength. Ultracur3D FLD5006 has one color option in black.
Rigid DL240 Plant-Based Resin
High-performance rigid 3D printing resin which consists of 50% plant based raw materials, offering a substantial reduction on net CO2 emission. Rigid DL240 Plant-Based Resin has one color option in dark amber.
DL400 High Temp
Handles temperatures of up to 230°C without bending or deforming, simulating the strength and rigidity of glass filled Nylon 6.
