ProtoCAM recently installed Somos® ProtoGen™ O-XT 18420 resin in our SLA-3500. This resin is a general purpose white resin that has ABS-like mechanical properties that offers superior chemical resistance and dimensional accuracy. The resin has high temperature capabilities (208ºF) and produces durable parts that are humidity tolerant.

ProtoCAM also recently installed Somos® Water Clear® Ultra 10122 in our two Viper SI SLA's.
This resin is optically clear, colorless and rigid. This resin also has ABS-like properties and produces accurate parts that simulate acrylic in appearance. This is ideal for applications requiring optical clarity such as lenses, bottles, and light pipes. The resin produces transparent parts right out of the SLA machine, but post processing is required to obtain true optical clarity.
