Nano Dimension Ataru is the latest material to be launched by the company which, following months of hardware acquisitions, is keen to position itself in the materials sector also.
With the launch of Ataru, its new UV-curable resin material, Nano Dimension is looking to make even high pressure and temperature moulding accessible to anyone with a DLP 3D printer.
Engineered for temperature resistance in excess of 300°C and embodied with high tensile strength, Ataru is suitable for injection moulding and demanding environmental conditions.
The cream-coloured material also boasts low dielectric loss property, meaning suitability for high-frequency electrical applications.
On inspection of sample parts, its most surprising quality is its surface finish, which is excellent even when produced on entry level DLP 3D printers.
As a result, the material is a versatile and attainable option for open source DLP 3D printer users, with uses from creating moulds and tooling for composites, down to radio frequency antenna.
Low viscosity ensures compatibility with a wide range of DLP systems, which Nano Dimension says will enable reliable printing and consistently high-quality results.
Available in single and five litre containers, the material post processing is a familiar wash, dry, and UV cure, followed by heat treatment.
