Engineering LCD Resin - Flex 63A - Formfutura

Engineering LCD Series - Flex 63A Resin is a very flexible and extremely transparent 3D printing resin. The resin has a very low Shore A surface hardness of 63A.

The combination of flexibility and elasticity makes this engineering resin extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.

Key features

• Heat resistance up to 120 °C
• Excellent flexibility
• High elongation at break up to 80 per cent
• Good elastic properties
• Extreme transparency, with virtually no discolouration and/or yellowing
• High dimensional accuracy and low shrinkage
• Nearly odourless printing process
• Compatible with all SLA, DLP and LCD 3D printers open source with a wavelength of 385-405 nm

Applications

• Gaskets and seals
• Soft touch applications
• Functional prototyping
• Wearable devices
• Short-run manufacturing

Comparison of specifications - Engineering LCD Series

• Within the Engineering LCD Series, each resin is designed to emphasise a specific property.
• The comparison table (not included) shows the technical data of all Engineering LCD resins and allows a direct comparison based on mechanical properties.
• Note: the values shown may vary depending on the machine used, post-cure, part geometry, print orientation, print parameters and temperature.

Preparation before printing

• Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use
• After shaking, allow resin to stand for 10 minutes to allow air bubbles to escape
• Resin can be poured from the tank into the bottle at the end of printing
• Always use protective goggles and nitrile gloves when handling

Post-processing

• For best material properties, we recommend post-processing:
• Wash the moulded object in IPA or (bio)ethanol for about 5 minutes
• The use of an ultrasonic cleaner is preferable
• Ensure that the parts are completely dry before post-curing
• Allow to dry in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use compressed air for 2 minutes
• Polymerise in a high-power chamber for 20-30 minutes at 65 °C
• Recommended curing wavelength: 300-410 nm

Safety

• 3D printing with resins involves the use of chemicals: always act with caution and use the personal protective equipment indicated in the safety data sheets.
• Always wear respiratory protection when sanding or cutting resin objects
• Always use nitrile gloves when handling uncured resins or objects
