Material: SL 5190, SL 5510, SL 5520, SL 5530, SL 7510


SL 5190 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Cibatool SL 5190 is an epoxy-based, photocurable resin that builds strong, durable and accurate parts. This resin works well for applications such as form, fit and function, photostress/photoelastic analysis and masters for secondary tooling. SL 5190 has several material properties which exceed or are comparable to medium-impact polystyrene.

Ideal for:
  • Snap-fit assemblies
  • Investment casting patterns
  • Concept models
  • Visual models
  • Working prototypes

SL 5510 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Cibatool SL 5510 is a versatile, accurate, dimensionally stable and highly productive material. For the most demanding applications, SL 5510 sets the industry standard for part accuracy.

Ideal for:

  • High humidity applications
  • Working prototypes
  • Visual models
  • Prototype tooling
  • Production tooling master patterns
  • Investment casting patterns
  • Fluid flow studies of complex internal passages

SL 5520 [ Specifications ]
Specialty Material
Cibatool SL 5520 expands the range of applications for stereolithography by providing a material that can withstand the rigors of real-world use, such as snap-fit casings, housings, assemblies, connectors and other parts. It produces humidity-resistant parts and assemblies with characteristics approaching engineering plastics.

Ideal for:

  • Snap-fit assemblies
  • Optically clear functional tests
  • Electrical, computer, consumer applicance and camera housings
  • Automotive interior components
  • Consumer goods and appliances
  • Connectors

SL 5530HT [ Specifications ]
Specialty Material
Cibatool 5530HT sets a precedent in the industry by providing the highest temperature resistance of any SL material on the market today - over 200°C (392°F)! It also performs extremely well in elevated temperatures for water, steam, and solvents (i.e. automotive oil and coolant).

Not only does SL 5530HT resist very high temperatures for functional testing under real operating conditions, it also provides optical clarity for flow visualization, and accuracy that allows production of prototypes that mirror the dimensions of the end-use part. In fact, it is the only rapid prototyping material offering all three of these characteristics.

Ideal for:

  • Under-hood component testing
  • Hot fluid flow visualization
  • HVAC component testing
  • Intake manifold testing
  • Lighting fixture (housings, covers) testing
  • Tooling/Vacuum forming, hot-melt tooling, high-temperature RTV molding

SL 7510 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Originally formulated for our SLA 7000 top-of-the-line solid imaging system, CIBATOOL® SL 7510's fast build speed and excellent durability gives you greater productivity -- and more versatility -- from your SLA 3500 system.

BUILD MORE PARTS -- AND TEST MORE INNOVATIONS -- IN LESS TIME. SL 7510 builds parts 40% faster on average than SL 5510, the other humidity-resistant SLA 3500 system resin. And SL 7510 creates QuickCast™ build style patterns up to two times faster when compared to SL 5510 and SL 5190. This speed, combined with 0.050 mm (0.002 in) layer thickness* also lets you build tooling parts faster and with less finishing time

INCREASE YOUR YIELD. SL 7510's good impact strength, durability and humidity-resistance lets you build parts that stand up to the rigors of finishing, shipping and handling, RTV demolding and limited snap-fit testing.

MAKE IT YOUR GENERAL PURPOSE RESIN. Speed, durabililty and humidity-resistance make SL 7510 the best material for the widest variety of applications. Use it to bring the cost-cutting and time-saving benefits of solid imaging into your development process.

Ideal for:

  • Faster and more durable prototyping
  • Faster QuickCast build style patterns
  • Durable silicone master patterns
  • Limited snap-fit testing
  • Internal structure visualization
  • Concept models
  • Form/fit/function verification

*Dependent upon part geometry and build parameters
