• Specification Comparison - 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 easy comparison based on mechanical properties.

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
• After printing is complete, the resin can be poured from the tank into the bottle
• Always use protective equipment such as safety goggles and nitrile gloves when handling resins

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/recommended
• Ensure that the objects washed with IPA and/or (bio)ethanol are completely dry before subsequent post-curing
• Place the washed objects in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes or use compressed air for at least 2 minutes
• Polymerise the object in a high-power polymerisation chamber for approx. 20-30 minutes at 65 °C
• Recommended polymerisation wavelength: 300-410 nm

Safety

• When 3D printing with resins you are working with chemicals: always work carefully 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 and resin objects
