• Stereolithography Materials | Someos 9120

A translucent stereolithography material for when you need to see the inner workings of the part you’re creating.

Somos® 9120 is a transparent stereolithography resin that is easy to use and fast to build. This stereolithography resin produces translucent, accurate parts that are semiflexible. Parts produced with Somos® 9120 exhibit excellent water and temperature resistance and mimic polypropylene.

Somos® 9120 is ideal for applications such as fluid flow analysis, electrical casings and automotive parts. As this material is semi-flexible, it can also be used for snap-fit functional testing.

  • Stereolithography Safety (SDS)

Every material comes with a safety data sheet (SDS) to provide you with information to properly handle that specific liquid stereolithography resin. While there are risks of skin sensitization, these can be easily prevented with good housekeeping, good hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).

  • Stereolithography Material Guides

Formulated differently than conventional materials, UV-curable products require particular instruction for their safe handling. The information provided in this guide is designed to acquaint you with UV-cure technology, identify its potential hazards, and provide general direction and guidelines for the safe application and efficient use of solvent-free, UV-curable products.

This booklet is a guide for safe handling only. The precautions outlined here should be followed in close combination with instructions provided on our product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), as well as in consultation with your representative regarding your specific product.

  • Stereolithography Materials for Neo Series 3D Printers

Fast and easy production of quality hollow composite tooling parts, that are easy to remove after the autoclave process.

While basic composite shapes with constant cross sections are easily manufactured using traditional composite manufacturing techniques, complex parts with hollow interiors present a unique challenge. Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed the process. High-temperature, cost-effective tools can now be produced in days, compared to the weeks or even months required for traditional tooling, and provides a cost-effective solution even for small series production.

Somos® DMX SL-100, a durable and tough stereolithography (SL) resin, is an efficient and cost-effective solution that produces very accurate parts with a superb surface finish and high feature detail, promoting greater design freedom for composite applications.

Somos® DMX SL-100 withstands the high temperatures utilized in the autoclave process for composites manufacturing maintaining its flexural strength, elongation and tear resistance. These unique properties allow, at a certain temperature, for mandrels to be removed from complex and convoluted geometries through a “dry removal” process which is unique for a solid mandrel. Other soluble wash out cores need submerging in caustic which can affect the composite part. No other material in the industry is as easily and best removed after the autoclave process, facilitating the more efficient production of complex, hollow composite parts.

This method of using additive manufacturing to produce sacrificial tooling is straightforward and enables multiple iterations to be implemented quicker by the user.

  • Somos® resins for Neo 3D printers

In partnership with Covestro Additive Manufacturing (formerly DSM) and its Somos® resins, the Neo 3D printers can run the most technically advanced stereolithography materials.

  • Stratasys Stereolithography | NEO Series Materials

A stereolithography material engineered to create flawless investment castings patterns.

Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries, our team developed Somos® Element for producing investment casting patterns.

Somos® Element is an antimony-free stereolithography material specifically designed to improve the repeatability and quality of 3D printed casting patterns. Patterns created with Somos® Element leave trace amounts of lightweight, easily-removable ash residue after burnout and have better green strength, so there’s no worry of breakage during handling, while being dimensionally stable during storage. Any residue left behind is easily removed, leaving a perfectly clean void in the ceramic mold. This translates into lower mold prep times and lower rates of rework, saving customers time and money.

Key Benefits

  • Trace amounts of ash that are lightweight and easily removed
  • Suitable for high-end alloy castings
  • Rapid draining
  • Produces accurate, repeatable parts regardless of size
  • Stratasys Stereolithography | NEO Printer Materials
The investment casting material. Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries, Somos® has developed Somos Element™ as the next generation of stereolithography resins designed explicitly for producing Investment Casting patterns.
