Product Description
Whip Mix VeriCAST™ is a 3D print resin for producing dental burnout patterns, it is compatible with DLP and LCD printers featuring 385nm and 405nm light sources.
Storage and Transportation
- VeriCAST must be stored in the original packaging at room temperature in a dry area.
- Always keep the container tightly sealed and close the container immediately after each use.
- Do not expose VeriCAST to any light source. A minimum amount of light can induce polymerization (solidification).
- Resin that is stored in a tray must be stirred before each print using a plastic or paper card (similar to a business card), to ensure a homogenous mixture.
- Do not use the product past the expiration date.
- The lot number and expiration date are indicated on VeriCAST packaging. In case of questions or concerns, please refer to the lot number.
- Packages are ideally transported at room temperature and away from light in a tightly sealed container to prevent leakage.

Processing
- When printing with VeriCAST™ 3D Print Resin, make sure it is at a temperature between 20°C and 30°C. Extreme high or low temperatures could negatively affect the performance of the resin.
- VeriCAST™ bottle must be shaken thoroughly before use. Colour deviation may occur if not thoroughly shaken.
- After the build process is finished, post-processing is required. If this cannot be immediately completed, leave the printed objects in the printer until ready to post process.
Post Processing
-
When the print job is complete, remove the build platform from the printer and carefully remove the printed objects from the platform.
-
The printed object must be rinsed with Isopropyl alcohol using an ultrasonic bath/washing unit for 5 minutes to eliminate any excess resin.
-
Printed objects must be rinsed with Isopropyl alcohol in a second fresh ultrasonic bath/washing unit for an additional 5 minutes.
NOTE: Do not immerse the printed parts in alcohol for more than 10 minutes, as prolonged exposure may cause the material to deteriorate. -
To remove excess alcohol, leave prints to dry at room temperature (or compressed air can also be used).
-
Place the printed objects in the light curing unit, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Look for cured debris in the tray after each print job. A paint strainer can be used to filter out any debris.
Printing with cured debris could potentially cause damage to the tray or the printed objects. -
Deviations from the described manufacturing process may lead to different mechanical and optical properties of the material.
