DSM Somos® NanoTool™ Resin for Stereolithography, UV Postcure

DescriptionNanoTool produces strong, stiff, high temperature resistant composite parts on conventional stereolithography machines. This third generation of Somos® ProtoComposite materials is heavily filled with non-crystalline nanoparticles allowing for faster processing. It exhibits superior side wall quality, along with excellent detail resolution as compared to other composite stereolithography materials.ApplicationNanoTool's smooth surface quality and high initial modulus make it an excellent resin for metal plating, a growing application which saves time and money as an alternative to fully metal prototypes. It's also ideal for creating strong, stiff parts that need to resist high temperatures, including wind tunnel models for aerospace and automotive applications. A third major application area is rapid tooling for injection molding.Information Provided by DSM Desotech Inc.
