Resin Ultracur3D® ST 45 BASF - 1000 ml

Use of the resin BASF Ultracur3D ST45

The Ultracur3D resins developed by the Forward AM branch of BASF are photoreactive urethane resins developed for the DLP/LCD 3D printers.

The ST45 series is the most robust and solid, suitable for the most demanding applications requiring rigidity, impact resistance and durability.

The ST45 resin Tough is recommended for its precision, stability and attractive visual appearance.

Available in a translucent version, ST45 BASF resin offers the highest rigidity and heat resistance.

ST resins offer the best finish in the Ultracur3D range. They are specially designed for detailed printing and offer good long-term UV stability.

Speed up your design iterations and reduce your development costs with the Tough Ultracur3D ST45 range.

ST45 resin: key strengths

Mechanical strength: Rigid and strong, this ST45 photo reactive resin offers the highest flexural strength and temperature resistance.

Durability: Ultracur3D ST45 is a technical urethane resin with long-term performance. Resistant to prolonged stresses, they are particularly well suited to the need for precise parts with high mechanical strength.

Precision: Urethane resins offer maximum precision and dimensional stability. Accuracy and printing speed depend on the printer used, but the versatility and quality of these professional 3D resins will suit both the simplest and the most high-performance applications and technologies.

Our recommendations for use with ST45 resin

Ultracur3D resins are sensitive to light, so they should be protected from UV light as soon as they are no longer protected by the printer's filter enclosure. You should also wear gloves when handling the resin.

Shake your bottle of resin well before use to mix the pigments and ensure a good consistency. After insertion in the tray, leave to stand for a few minutes until the bubbles have disappeared.

To find out which exposure time is right for your 3D printer, don't hesitate to consult our community.

Don't forget to clean your part in alcohol such as IPA or a suitable Cleaner solution to remove the resin that is still liquid and leave a homogenous finish. Then, to complete the post-processing, you need to go into a UV chamber (20 minutes) to get the best performance.
