SLA 5000 Materials 3D Systems Solid Imaging

Material: SL 5195, SL 5510, SL 5520, SL 5530, SL 7510

SL 5195 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Faster machines need faster resins, so we developed a low-viscosity epoxy resin matched to the solid-state power of the SLA 5000. Like all epoxy resins, it delivers excellent strength, accuracy and smooth surface finish while maintaining optical transparency.

Ideal for:

  • Concept models
  • Working prototypes
  • Investment casting patterns
  • Prototype tooling
  • Production tooling master patterns

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 appliance and camera housings
  • Automotive interior components
  • Consumer goods and appliances
  • Connectors

SL 5530 [ 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 systems, CIBATOOL® SL 7510's fast build speed and excellent durability helps you get greater productivity -- and more versatility -- from your SLA 5000 system.

BUILD MORE PARTS IN LESS TIME. Over a range of build styles, SL 7510 builds parts an average of 30% faster than other SLA 5000 system resins. Realize huge performance gains in the QuickCast™ build style: SL 7510 builds QuickCast style masters at least 50% faster compared to SL 5510, and at least 20% faster compared to SL 5195

USE IN COMBINATION WITH 3D LIGHTYEAR™ SOFTWARE FOR TRULY ROBUST MODELS. Using 3D Lightyear software's EXACT buildstyle, SL 7510 yields models with superior detail, and with a smooth (0.003 in layer thickness*) surface finish that requires minimal post-processing. 3D Lightyear preparation software is included with all new SLA Series solid imaging systems, and most current SLA customers are eligible for a free copy.

GET MORE. With SL 7510 you'll build durable, humidity-resistant parts that stand up to the rigors of handling, finishing, demolding, and limited snap-fit testing. Trim time and cost at every stage of the product development cycle.

Ideal for:

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