Explore the capabilities of Carbon functional 3D printing resins:
high-performance materials for professional applications.

Carbon 3D resins represent some of the most advanced solutions available today for engineers and designers seeking precision, reliability, and superior performance in additive manufacturing. Leveraging innovative materials and cutting-edge technology like Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), these resins deliver exceptional mechanical properties, high thermal and chemical resistance, and remarkable design flexibility for a wide range of applications.

Carbon offers a broad portfolio of rigid and elastomeric resins, suitable for multiple industrial sectors: automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, and structural components. These resins are known for durability, ductility, and adaptability to complex geometries, while consistently maintaining high-quality standards.

Rigid and Epoxy Resins for Complex Structural Projects

Among Carbon’s rigid functional resins, key materials include:

  • EPX 82 (DLS): Designed for excellent toughness and long-term durability, even in demanding environments. Ideal for functional prototypes and structural components.

  • EPX 86FR: Flame-retardant, robust, and dimensionally stable, especially suitable for electronics and transportation applications.

  • EPX 150 (DLS): Excels in heat and chemical resistance, perfect for high-stress components.

  • LOCTITE® 3D IND405: Transparent, rigid, and durable, frequently used for functional aesthetic applications.

  • RPU 70 & RPU 130 (DLS): Offer a combination of strength and ductility, capable of withstanding impacts and deformations.

Carbon Polyurethane Resins: Flexibility, Durability, and Energy Return

Carbon’s elastomeric resins combine flexibility, tear resistance, and dynamic performance, making them ideal for high-impact applications or parts that require comfort and energy return. Polyurethane resins provide durability and precision even in complex geometries.

Key elastomeric materials include:

  • EPU 40 & EPU 41 (DLS): High-performance elastomers with excellent energy return and fatigue resistance. Ideal for technical footwear, protective devices, and ergonomic coatings.

  • EPU 43 (DLS): Soft, durable, and impact-absorbing, suitable for applications requiring flexibility and long-term performance.

  • EPU 45 (DLS): Developed for shock-absorbing applications, such as padding and protective equipment. Provides outstanding mechanical energy absorption during repeated impacts while maintaining elasticity.

  • EPU 46 (DLS): Engineered for applications requiring high energy return, such as soles and sports components. Offers adjustable stiffness, color customization, and excellent dynamic performance. Perfect for lattice structures and custom designs.

These resins expand 3D printing capabilities, allowing designers and engineers to create functional, durable products with optimized mechanical performance, tailored to project requirements.
