Printing Process

• Preparation of Resin
  The material should be processed at room temperature. Before usage the material should be shaken well. Pour it slowly in the vat and wait a couple minutes, until smooth, bubble-free surface is obtained before starting the print job.
  

• Printing Process
  As the suitable 3D printer examples and setting parameters stated above are only for general guidance purpose, user should always define the optimal settings according to his needs by himself. Please refer to the Instruction of Use or User Guide of the employed 3D-Printer for the printer settings and handling.

• Removing parts
  Remove the parts carefully from the build platform with a suite able tool, for more information see the Instruction for Use of the used 3D-Printer.

Cleaning and Post curing process

• Cleaning Process
  Ultracur3D® RG 35 can be cleaned with a Glycol Ether based solvent like Ultracur3D® Cleaner & 2-propanol, please refer to the following cleaning procedure.

Cleaning with Ultracur3D® Cleaner & 2-propanol

• Step 1: Place the parts in a container filled with Ultracur3D® Cleaner and place this container in an Ultrasonic bath filled with water for 2 minutes.

• Step 2: Rinse the parts with 2-propanol for a few seconds. Fine structures or holes may be better cleaned by using 2-propanol and a syringe or by separate brushing. Next, place the parts in a container filled with 2-propanol and place this container in an Ultrasonic bath filled with water for 2 minutes.

• Step 3: Blow dry the parts with pressure air/nitrogen, until the parts are clean.

• Drying
  Place the parts into a warming cabinet @40°C for 30 minutes.

• Post curing
  Ultracur3D® RG 35 parts require adequate post curing to achieve the optimized final mechanical properties. After each post-curing cycle, the part needs to be flipped to achieve an even curing.

• Finishing Process
  Remove, if necessary, support structures and smooth the surface.
  

These proceedings are only general guidelines, the optimal printing settings, as well as curing time, must be defined by the user himself. The post-curing might differ by using different 3D-Printers and different post-curing units may require different settings.
