Teston 3D, a high-performance ceramic 3D printing technology company located in Nebraska, Midwest, USA, has launched three new types of UV-curable 3D printing resin products including graphene, cordierite, and mullite materials.
The company's CTO chief technology officer Greg Pugh said, "The new resin used in the company's DLP (Digital Light Procession) digital light processing system can print more technical ceramic and metal parts." (Translator's Note: DLP is better than other types of 3D printing technology. It has its unique advantages. First of all, there is no moving beam, small vibration deviation, no movable nozzles, no material blocking problems, no heating parts, improved electrical safety, short printing preparation time, energy saving, and the amount of first consumables added is far less Other equipment saves user costs. Secondly, DLP can manufacture more delicate parts, such as jewelry, dental molds, etc. Compared with other large-scale 3D printers, DLP printing technology cannot print large objects, so most of them are desktop-level 3D printers. More applications in medical, jewelry, education and other fields.)
About graphene
High strength-to-weight ratio, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Based on the advantages of these graphenes, this special resin was developed to serve energy storage, sensors, electronic products and other components that can take advantage of the properties of graphene. Quotient. This makes it possible to replace carbon fiber reinforced composite materials in the field of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM).
About cordierite and mullite
These two technical ceramic materials, the former is characterized by low thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and high thermal shock, which have potential prospects in heaters, hot dogs, insulation and fire resistance, etc.; the latter’s value is in addition to the above-mentioned a little distortion and excellent resistance Creep performance, this material can still maintain strength and high chemical stability and resistivity up to 1800 ℃, so it is suitable for contact components in the aerospace and energy industries.
