   Daylight resins for 3D printing
We partnered with Forward AM, BASF 3D Printing Solutions, to create a range of Engineering Plastic Daylight (EPD) materials to serve a wide range of applications, delivering competitive pricing.
Our range of Daylight resins has been specifically developed for use on visible light printers such as our Liquid Crystal Magna and Liquid Crystal Titan printer, delivering functional properties effortlessly.
Daylight resins deliver the full selection of end-use properties, in large format and high-resolution. It is a lower energy, longer wavelength light which travels further and ensures more reliable polymerisation than UV.
Daylight unlocks the problems of curing dark coloured or particle rich formulations.
