Tough Carbon represents the next level in 3D printing materials, blending the strength and durability of traditional Tough material with the added innovation of carbon nanoparticles. Engineered for applications demanding optical opacity, Tough Carbon is the ideal solution for projects requiring precision in optics and light management.
Micro stereolithography can accurately create the smallest, most geometrically complex components that are impossible to fabricate using traditional manufacturing processes.
PµSL was first developed by Professor Ikuta and Hirowatari in 1993 as a variation of common SLA 3D printing. Unlike other 3D printing technologies that use melting or extrusion, PµSL employs UV light projection to solidify liquid photopolymer resin in layers by layer.
This process lends itself to the microfabrication of unique products and intricate components with a high level of precision and surface finish. Its application spans microelectronics and medical devices such as delicately bespoke surgical stents or microfluidic channels for labs-on-a-chip devices. It can print at 10µm layers to achieve a surface polish of up to 0.4µm Ra on top surfaces and 1.5µm on sidewalls with a diverse material range including metals, plastics, and ceramics. Users can tailor the material to their application.
