Elastomeric Materials
9 min
elastomer applications elastomers are polymer materials with elasticity, meaning they can be stretched and return to their original shape click on the links below for more information about the material, technical data sheets, and operator protocols 1 part resins true 112,450,100 unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type 2 part resins true 121,100,100 unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled content type energy return and stiffness carbon elastomers energy return and stiffness energy return to damping epu 41 | epu 46 | sil 30 | epu 40 | epu 43 | epu 45 soft to stiff sil 30 | epu 41 | epu 40 | epu 43 | epu 46 (tunable stiffness) | epu 45 post processing green state handling elastomeric parts are much more fragile in their green state than their fully cured final part state do not apply too much force to parts during processing incorrect incorrect green state handling incorrect green state handling excessive squeezing of parts in the green state are likely to both deform the parts and alter material properties correct correct green state handling correct green state handling minor handling is both acceptable and inevitable in processing, but use a delicate touch to maintain part integrity as shown here after secondary curing (baking), parts can be squeezed without issue final part state (after baking) left part excessivley squeezed in green state | right part handled properly in green state left permanently deformed due to squeezing in the green state parts may visibly, permanently deform during the thermal cure parts may micro fracture, invisible to the naked eye, but affecting of material properties right no deformation due to proper handling lab reference grids this printable handout is vital for printer technicians and provides information about resin storage and dispensing, washing times and compatible solvents as well as cure times make sure to always have a copy available english german/deutsch spanish/español japanese/日本語
