SLA 250 SeriesMaterials 3D Systems Solid Imaging

Material:SL 5170, SL 5210, SL 5220

SL 5170 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Cibatool SL 5170 is an epoxy-based resin that offers the greatest degree of accuracy available in any rapid prototyping process. Parts are strong, durable and multifunctional. SL 5170 fits a wide range of applications from form, fit and function to optical stress analysis, and as masters for secondary tooling applications. SL 5170 has several material properties which exceed or are comparable to medium-impact polystyrene.

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

SL 5210 [ Specifications ]
Specialty Material
Cibatool SL 5210 is an advanced vinyl ether/acrylate-based resin which is a perfect solution for functional prototypes which demand high-temperature or water immersion testing. Capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 100°C (212°F), SL 5210 offers the highest heat-resistance of any previously released material.

Ideal for:

  • Under-the-hood testing
  • Underwater testing
  • Wind-tunnel models
  • Housings for electrical assemblies
  • High temperature RTV molding
  • Water pumps
  • Working prototypes
  • Visual models

SL 5220 [ Specifications ]
Multi-purpose Material
Cibatool SL 5220 is an epoxy-based resin that offers parts that are strong, durable and multifunctional. SL 5220 fits a wide range of applications from form, fit and function to optical stress analysis, and as masters for secondary tooling applications. SL 5220 is accurate and is one of the fastest materials in its machine class, providing throughput up to two times faster than SL 5170 for the same layer thickness.

Ideal for:

  • Working prototypes
  • Visual models
  • Optical stress analysis
  • Multipurpose models
  • Form, fit and functionality
  • Investment casting patterns
  • Prototype tooling
  • Production tooling master patterns
