FormFutura® Engineering LCD Resin - Ultimate 2TW

FormFutura Engineering LCD Resin - Ultimate 2TW is a very versatile 3D printing resin. This resin is tough and temperature resistant. Next to this, it exhibits excellent UV and weathering stability. Ultimate 2TW is an impact resistant material with a modulus comparable to PP. It has memory shape capabilities and bends back when heated over 70C. A perfect match for many end-use part applications. 

Important key features

• High toughness and temperature resistance.

• Modulus similar to Polypropylene (PP).

• Excellent UV and weathering stability specs.

• Memory shape capabilities.

• Low skin irritation characteristics.

• Good compatibility with all SLA, DLP and LCD / MSLA 3D printers in the range of 385 – 420nm.

Suitable applications

• 3D printing functional end-use parts.

• Short-run manufacturing.

• 3D printing outdoor parts.

• Manufacturing custom braces and splints.

Specimen printed in ZXY Orientation (ISO 52921) and examined according to ISO 17296-3.

Preparation(s) before starting to print

• Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use.

• After shaking the bottle, leave the resin to rest for 10 minutes to let air bubbles get out of the resin

• The resin can be poured back from the vat into the bottle once your print is finished

• Always use protective measurements like safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling resins.

Post-processing

• We do advise you to post-process your 3D print in order to achieve the material properties

• Rinse your 3D printed object in IPA or (Bio)Ethanol for approximately 5-10 minutes

• An ultrasonic cleaner is preferred/recommended

• Make sure that IPA and/or (Bio)Ethanol rinsed objects are perfectly dry before further post-curing to prevent warping or cracking.

• Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated area for at least 4 hours, or use pressurized air for at least 5 minutes

• Cure your object in a high power curing chamber (like the CUREbox™ Plus) for approximately 60 minutes at 65°CAnd after that approximately 2 hours of thermal curing at 100°C. The preferred curing wavelength is between 300-410nm

Safety

Please always be aware that when 3D printing with resins that you are working with chemicals and that you should always be cautious and use the personal protective equipment as stipulated in our safety data sheets.

• Always wear Respiratory Protection when sanding/cutting the resin object.

• Always use nitrile gloves when handling resins and uncured resin objects.
