Frequently Asked Question(FAQ)

What is High Temp Resin, and what are its main characteristics?: High Temp Resin is a photopolymer resin formulated for SLA 3D printing, offering exceptional heat resistance with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of up to 238°C. It is designed for applications requiring high thermal stability.

Is High Temp Resin suitable for functional prototypes?: Yes, it is ideal for functional prototypes that need to withstand high temperatures, such as molds, thermal testing components, and parts used in high-heat environments.

Can High Temp Resin be used for end-use parts?: While primarily used for prototyping and testing, it can be used for end-use parts in applications where high thermal resistance is required and mechanical stress is minimal.

Does High Temp Resin require special storage conditions?: Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and UV light sources. Keep the container sealed tightly to maintain resin quality.

What colors are available for High Temp Resin?: It is typically available in gray, which helps in highlighting fine details and is suitable for various applications.

Are there any special considerations when printing with High Temp Resin?: Yes, due to its unique formulation, it may require adjusted exposure settings and careful handling during printing and post-processing.

What layer height is recommended for printing with High Temp Resin?: Layer heights between 50-100 microns are recommended, balancing detail resolution and printing time.

Do I need to adjust exposure settings for High Temp Resin?: Yes, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal exposure settings, as they may differ from standard resins.

Can I print large parts with High Temp Resin?: Yes, but ensure adequate support structures and consider the potential for increased brittleness in larger prints.

Is an open or closed resin system better for printing with High Temp Resin?: Either system can be used, but maintaining resin quality by protecting it from light and contaminants is important.

How should I post-cure High Temp Resin prints to achieve maximum thermal properties?: Post-curing may involve extended UV exposure and sometimes elevated temperatures, as per the manufacturer's recommendations.

Can High Temp Resin prints be machined or drilled?: Due to its brittleness, machining should be done cautiously, and it's generally recommended to avoid aggressive mechanical processing.

Is it possible to paint or finish High Temp Resin prints?: Yes, they can be painted using paints suitable for plastics. Priming may improve adhesion.

How do I remove support structures without damaging the print?: Use sharp tools to carefully cut supports, and sand any remaining marks gently

Can High Temp Resin prints be used for molding applications?: Yes, its high heat resistance makes it suitable for creating molds for low-run injection molding or thermoforming.

Why are my High Temp Resin prints brittle or cracking?: The resin is inherently more brittle due to its high thermal stability. Ensure proper handling and avoid designs with thin, unsupported features.

What causes surface imperfections in my prints?: Surface defects can result from resin contamination, incorrect exposure settings, or printer calibration issues. Keep the resin and vat clean, and adjust settings as needed.

How do I prevent warping in High Temp Resin prints?: Ensure proper support placement and consider adjusting printing orientation to reduce internal stresses.

Why are my prints not achieving the expected heat resistance?: Incomplete or improper post-curing can affect thermal properties. Follow the manufacturer's post-curing procedures carefully.

How do I fix issues with prints adhering too strongly to the build platform?: Adjust the build platform's initial layer settings and consider using a release agent or flexible build plate.

Can High Temp Resin be used for metal casting applications?: Yes, it can be used to create molds or patterns for certain casting processes, but ensure compatibility with the casting material and process.

How does humidity affect printing with High Temp Resin?: High humidity can interfere with resin curing and affect print quality. Print in a controlled environment with low humidity.

Is High Temp Resin suitable for electrical insulation applications?: Yes, it acts as an electrical insulator and can be used in high-temperature electrical applications.

Can I mix High Temp Resin with other resins to adjust properties?: Mixing resins is generally not recommended as it can lead to unpredictable results and compromise material properties.

How should I store High Temp Resin to maintain its properties?: Store in its original container, sealed tightly, away from light, heat sources, and moisture.
