Carbon’s EPX 82 epoxy digital light processing material is a high-strength resin optimized for advanced manufacturing applications. It has been specifically formulated to offer exceptional performance and durability, with several critical advantages over other materials in its class. For example, EPX 82 can produce parts with extraordinary stiffness and strength and withstand high temperatures and harsh environments. Additionally, it can be easily post-processed to add features like threaded inserts and other secondary operations. This makes it an ideal material for various applications, including automotive and aerospace components, high-tech electronics, and medical devices. With its exceptional properties and ease of use, Carbon’s EPX 82 material is a top choice for manufacturers and innovators looking to create high-quality, high-performance parts.
Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a type of 3D printing that employs a UV-sensitive liquid resin cured through a digital light projector. Once the printing process is finished, our AM technicians thoroughly clean the part, remove any supports, and apply UV and thermal curing, if necessary.
DLP 3D printing is an ideal choice for projects that require high levels of detail and finishing in various production-grade materials. This technology can produce components with varying durometers and characteristics, ranging from supple silicone to rigid high-temp cyanate ester. It is beneficial for creating small end-use components, lightweight metal part replacements, functional, high-detail prototypes, jigs, and fixtures.
