Expanding Applications with Objet’s Photopolymer Materials

By Objet Geometries

Objet Geometries - ’ extensive experience in applying PolyJet™  technology in varied industries is based on installations at leading manufacturers worldwide. By combining proven technology with a wide range of materials, it is possible to bring the advantages of rapid prototyping to a broader range of industries and also vastly expand the applications.

  Objet’s FullCure® proprietary resins are acrylic-based photopolymer materials. Based on Objet’s PolyJet™ technology, they produce fully cured models. The materials are delivered in fully sealed 2kg (4.4 lbs)  or 3.6kg (7.9 lbs) cartridges.

  Benefits: Productivity; Instant curing-; ready-to-use models;  Versatility; Choice of transparent, colored, opaque, flexible and rigid materials enables a wide variety of applications; Specialized materials for Hearing Aids; Ease of Use; Same, easily removable gel-like sSupport for all materials; Easy loading and unloading of cartridges; Easy switching between materials; Environmental Safety; Delivered in fully sealed cartridges eliminating skin and eye contact; Diversified Finishing; Model surfaces readily absorb paint; Models can be machined, drilled, chrome-plated, glued or used as a mold.

  TangoPlus, FullCure930, a new, semi-translucent elastomer, has elongation at break of 218 percent, a unique material property in RP with no competition regarding toughness, durability and resistance to deterioration. It addresses applications requiring rubber-like flexibility and durability, such as gaskets, seals, hoses, athletic footwear and toys.

  The FullCure® Tango family of rubber like materials embraces new applications by providing different levels of flexibility and elasticity. Elongation at break of 47 percent% and SHORE A of 61 and 75 for TangoBlack and TangoGray, respectively.

  TangoBlack provides high elasticity, while TangoGray is a slightly harder material that provides a more controlled flexibility and elasticity. This enables models that closely resemble the “feel” of their target products,  such as shoes, toys, and consumer electronics.

  The FullCure Vero family enables opaque models that resemble their target products, enhancing visualization of details and edges; used for testing parts for snap fit assemblies, RTV molding patterns and more.

  The transparent FullCure720 material is suitable for rigid models,  and for visibility of liquid flow or internal details; it is biocompatible for various medical applications. The FullCure 6XX family is designed for hearing aids (ear molds).

  With this group of materials, Objet is leading the trend towards rapid manufacturing. The FullCure family of materials is the perfect complement to PolyJet technology; together they enable more applications and solutions to be realized and shared with customers, thus meeting any rapid prototyping/manufacturing requirement they may have.
