Guide for designer

Max model size:
250×250×200 mm

The maximum dimensions of the model are determined by the size of the camera of a printer that is used for printing.

Make sure that your model fits the specified dimensions. You can reduce the overall size of the model by scaling it, removing protruding parts or making a collapsible model.

Min model size:
7×7×7 mm

The minimum dimensions of the model are determined by printing quality of a printer.

Make sure that your model fits the specified dimensions. You can increase the overall size of the model by changing the scale, combining or increasing the fragements or try to use material with a lower minimum size.

Min wall thickness
0,8 mm
Min supported wires
0,8 mm
Min unsupported wall thickness
1 mm
Min embossed detail
0,5 mm
Min escape holes
10 mm

If the model contains hollow spaces they will be filled with the support material while printing. To clean the product of support material it is necessary to provide holes. In the case of large cavities, it is recommended to make several holes in the construction.

Min clearance
0,5 mm

If the model contains several functional parts, it is necessary to provide sufficient distance between them, otherwise, in the process of printing parts will be merged.

Material properties

  • 1. High strength and resilience
  • 2. Is waterproof but in contact with water becomes less durable
  • 3. Good workability and adhesion with colorants
  • 4. low thermostability (48 ° C)

Printing technology

The photopolymer is printed using patented technology, which is based on the principle of layering model of photopolymer material, cured by UV radiation. The minimum thickness of the layer is about 16 microns. The material is applied using ink-jet head, and then the layer is exposed to light with a UV lamp. In the printing process support material is used, which, after completion of the production can be easily removed with water.

Additional information

  • 1. Transparent photopolymer is useful for implementation of design ideas as well as models and prototypes, where the important property is the transparency of the material.
  • 2. We recommend to use transparent photopolymer for printing small, highly detailed objects for which the strength and heat resistance (up to 48 ° C) is not an essential requirement.
