Info
titleConsiderations for this method

PROS:

  • Very rigid and durable
  • High transparency/clarity (when polished)
  • Can be used in a multi-material print

CONS:

  • High cost
  • Achieving high clarity requires multi-step polishing and finishing process
  • Hue changes with exposure to UV light
  • Non-planar or small surfaces are difficult to polish

Objet Connex 3D PrinterExposing printed part to strong sources of light may change the hue and transparency of the part.Yes.
At GSD can tint with Vero White or Agilus Black. Other colors possible elsewhere.		Considered a hazardous substance in liquid form: toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects, can cause serious eye damage or irritation, can cause skin sensitization; for other hazards, consult SDS. At least one constituant chemical is considered to be carcinogenic and possibly mutagenic.
When used as described, the hazardous liquid is released from a cartridge only inside a printing system, so exposure is limited. Once cured, part is considered to be non-irritating and not sensitizing to skin. No other data available.
