Stereolithography (SL) Resin

An SL resin made for investment casting.

Somos® Element is an SL resin specifically designed for 3D printed investment casting patterns. It leaves only trace amounts of ash residue after burnout, making it easy to achieve a perfectly clean mold. Its antimony-free chemistry means it can be used for superalloys and titanium castings.
3D printing with SL technology provides a faster, more accurate and less costly means of making investment casting patterns compared with traditional pattern-making technology. As one of several pre-qualified resins configured for the V650™ Flex SL printer, Somos® Element brings the accuracy and efficiency of SL technology to investment casting patterns.

Key Benefits

  • Clean burnout and very low residual ash resulting in low casting scrap
  • Antimony-free for superalloy castings
  • Dimensionally and environmentally stable
  • Exceptional clarity for visualization of a mold’s internal features
