liqcreate推出了新的弹性和超柔软的弹性弹药-X 3D打印树脂

荷兰独立的光聚合物制造商Liqcreatehas added a new elastic engineering resin to its 3D printing material portfolio.

设计为市场上最柔软的弹性物质树脂之一弹性体X具有较高的伸长率,良好的撕裂强度和沿岸的硬度低至43,其柔韧性与TPU和硅硅硅的硬度相似。借助这些属性,Liqcreate表示,其最新聚合物非常适合印刷数字晶格泡沫,适用于机器人,索环,波纹管和弹性工业零件的手臂工具(EOAT)的软端。

Liqcreate’s flexible resin range

随着Elastomer-X的推出,LiqCreate现在在其自己的品牌下提供三个商业柔性和弹性树脂,每个树脂旨在解决独特的应用领域。其中最僵化的高级弹性,,,,has a Shore A hardness of 65. However, the material is still flexible and soft, in a way that could make it perfect for those seeking a soft resin that’s well suited to rapid prototyping.

相比之下,公司的灵活-xresin has a Shore A of 55, making it slightly softer, and it’s also said to feature good tear strength. According to Liqcreate, these qualities make it an excellent material for covering engineering-type applications.

走一步又柔和,该公司最新的订单lymer, Elastomer-X, has an even lower Shore A, making it the softest in its range. With a tear strength of 10-12 kN/m, the resin is also one of the most tear-resistant materials in its class. As such, it’s thought the plastic could soon find extensive applications as a TPU or silicone replacement.

liqcreate的TPU样材料旨在与385-420 nm范围内的开放SLA,DLP和MSLA系统兼容,据说具有出色的伸长率,良好的撕裂强度和弹性体性能。树脂通过测试证明的这些品质结合起来,使其非常适合创建一系列高度弹性的工业组件。

在着色方面,弹性体X船作为清晰的液体,因此产生的印刷品将具有清晰的(尽管略带朦胧)。几乎所有商业树脂着色剂都可以更改材料的外观,这可能是创建不透明的弹性零件的理想选择。有关着色的详细信息,请参见LiqCreate网站。

探索弹性体应用程序

那里有很多潜在的应用程序,可用于极柔软的树脂,具有高水平的撕裂强度。这样的材料不仅可以创建能够模仿泡沫行为的软晶格结构,而且还可以在机器人技术中有用。代替有机硅,用户可能可以将3D打印弹性X打印到柔软的皮肤状结构中,或者制造工业机器人握把和手指。

在其他地方,Liqcreate在SLA,MSLA和DLP 3D印刷领域的更广泛的树脂研发以及生产工作继续解锁医疗,工业,汽车和消费品行业的应用程序。近年来,该系列现在跨越了高级,创意,工程,可铸造和通用树脂,并迅速扩大。

除了其通用聚合物,旨在为用户提供高水平的印刷精度和光滑的饰面,该公司已推出了高通量的MSLA专注高级艰难高级弹性。For those seeking to make ultra-rugged parts, Liqcreate has also introduced theTough-X,,,,灵活-xComposite-X光聚合物,具有强大的冲击力和反弹性能的变化。

在后者的情况下,该公司在其投资组合中添加了超速树脂,该树脂为其其他范围提供了完全不同的特征。聚合物由微纳米颗粒加固,以提供出色的强度,一旦加热,它就会变得比传统的光聚合物更刚性。

在其他地方,对于牙科客户来说,Liqcreate推出了高级模型,,,,牙科模型Pro牙龈面具materials, as well as itsWax Castable树脂。在它们之间,除了软组织,牙科植入物模型的牙龈样零件外,它们还可以创建具有低收缩率和高维稳定性的牙齿对齐器模型。

设计理想的3D打印树脂

与其品牌树脂系列同时,LiqCreate还提供了为需要特定应用程序的非标准公式的人开发定制材料。通过这项OEM服务,客户可以要求开发具有精确特征的聚合物,从而影响其打印速度和颜色以及所得零件的属性。

When it comes to elastic or flexible resins, clients can even request the formulation of materials with a Shore A hardness of anything from 30 to 100. Once customers have started a custom material development project, Liqcreate’s engineers work to develop a resin according to their specifications, and provide guidance on how to dial in their new resins for a given printer, preparing them for production.

As an independent resin manufacturer with R&D facilities, Liqcreate is also able to rapidly scale its production of custom-made resins where needed. What’s more, the company’s standalone nature means there is little to no competition or conflict when working with 3D printer hardware manufacturers. As such, the firm is able to work quickly and get resins to market in quantity, without encountering issues that might otherwise keep clients waiting.
