Rapid prototyping, manufacturing and product development company, Laser Reproductions, listened when their customers told them they needed a grey resin. Laser Reproductions was the first company to test the new DSM Somos 18920 grey resin. Their testing went so well it is now becoming a universally used resin of choice.
Jim Davidson, SLA manager at Laser Reproductions says, “DSM Somos created a resin to meet this demand and we were the beta test site for this product. This resin is now in production and we’ve received positive feedback from our customers.”
For those who “want it all,” DSM Somos 18920 Grey is a fast-processing ProtoGen material that creates highly accurate ABS-like parts and provides the high dimensional stability and temperature resistance necessary to help prevent warpage of fine details and thin walls during part shipment or testing.
”ProtoGen is one all-purpose material that truly keeps everyone satisfied”, says DSM Somos Product Manager Brian Bauman. “This resin has a wide processing latitude, fast photo speed, outstanding processing ease, low viscosity, and tolerance to a broad range of temperatures and humidities—both during and after the build. Its accuracy, HDT, and consistency really appeal to the end user.”
