Element
Description
Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries,
Somos
developed the groundbreaking stereolithography resin Somos
Element
the new standard for producing Investment Casting patterns.
Somos
Element is an antimony-free stereolithography material that has been
specifically designed to improve the repeatability and quality of 3D printed casting
patterns. Patterns created with Somos
Element leave trace amounts of lightweight,
easily-removable ash residue after burnout and have good green strength, so there’s
no worry of breakage during handling, while being dimensionally stable during
storage. Any residue that is left behind is easily removed, leaving a perfectly clean
void in the ceramic mold. This translates into lower mold prep times and lower rates
of rework, saving customers time and money.
