Glass-like rapid parts
The new Huntsman SL 7870 material offers a glass-like appearance along with excellent component strength and an ABS like performance
ARRK’s Rapid Prototyping division has extended the range of stereolithography materials on offer to its clients by adding a new water-clear resin.
The new Huntsman SL 7870 material offers a glass-like appearance along with excellent component strength and an ABS like performance. The material is also dimensionally stable in a humid environment. The new material means ARRK can now offer its clients a choice of 8 different resins.
Craig Vickers, MD for ARRK’s RP division, commented: “The wide range of materials we have on offer, through our fleet of 12 SLA machines, allows us to find the most appropriate material for our clients’ needs. Whether you need a model built in a flexible material, a higher heat temperature resistance, an aesthetically pleasing and tough white resin, or a glass-like material, we have a resin to suit.”
