Evonik INFINAM® ST 6100 L is a benchmark material in
high-strength photopolymers for 3D printing. With an ultimate
tensile strength (UTS) of 90 MPa, flexural stress of 135 MPa, and
heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 120 °C, the material also
delivers exceptional accuracy, surface finish, and resistance to
many chemicals and UV degradation.
Desktop Metal’s ETEC brand for polymer 3D printing is a leader
in Digital Light Processing (DLP) hardware and a carefully curated
portfolio of the world’s best AM materials.
“Desktop Metal is delighted to add Evonik and its INFINAM®
material to our highly selective portfolio of polymers, as we
continue to offer customers the flagship material solutions in each
performance class, ranging from stiff rigid plastics to high
strength-to-weight ratio elastomers and foams,” said Walter Voit,
Senior Vice President for Polymer Materials at Desktop Metal. “Our
hardware systems offer the size, speed, and quality required for
high-throughput Additive Manufacturing 2.0 production of premium
photoresins like ST 6100L.”
“Collaboration with customers and partners is an important
driver of innovation for us,” said Vitor Lavini, head of Evonik’s
photopolymer market segment in the company’s Additive Manufacturing
Innovation Growth Field. “The validation of ST 6100 L on Desktop
Metal’s printers – especially the ETEC Xtreme 8K – fits with
Evonik’s vision that larger and faster DLP printers will increase
productivity, substantially reduce costs per part, and enable
series production in the long run.”
The properties offered by INFINAM® ST 6100 L make the material
ideal for 3D printed production of molds, models, and tooling, as
well as end-use parts in the aerospace, automotive, or electronics
industries. Additionally, tools or parts 3D printed in INFINAM® ST
6100 can deliver very precise features and a smooth surface finish,
especially when paired with the crisp 65 μm resolution offered on
the ETEC Pro XL. Parts printed in this material can also be
machined and polished, in addition to other post-processing
techniques.
High-Throughput Production with Breakthrough
Materials
A 3D printing process in use since 1999, DLP harnesses the power
of light from a video projector to cure photosensitive liquid
resins into parts layer by layer, one quick flash at a time. DLP is
one of the fastest, most accurate forms of polymer 3D printing,
delivering high accuracy and a smooth surface finish with
consistent materials properties.
The ETEC Xtreme 8K is the world’s largest industrial-grade DLP
printer for high-volume production. With a 66-liter build volume
and two overhead projectors, the Xtreme 8K is ideal for
high-throughput tooling and end-use part applications, as well as
the production of larger parts. The ETEC Xtreme 8K offers a build
volume of 450 × 371 x 399 mm (17.72 x 14.61 x 15.71 in). The system
is produced at Desktop Metal’s Polymer Center of Excellence in
Richardson, Texas.
Priced for purchase at under $40,000, the ETEC Pro XL is a
premium DLP printer with 385 nm wavelength technology, 5mW/cm2
power, and Hyperprint™ closed-loop printing – all of which work
together to deliver premium results at high printing speeds. The
ETEC Pro XL offers a build volume of 249.1 x 140.1 x 165.1 mm (9.8
x 5.5 x 6.5 in).
Parts 3D printed on the ETEC Xtreme 8K in Evonik INFINAM® ST
6100 L material will be on display during the 2024 Additive
Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference in Chicago, from March
10 to 14 at the Evonik booth P12, Salon D.
