AmeraLabs AMD-3 Grey is a multifunctional resin for engineering and prototyping, enabling the manufacture of products with great accuracy, suitable for various applications. AMD-3 properties allow creating products that are reliable, hard and do not deform over time. Recommended for prototyping, silicone mould casting, electro-metal plating, jigs and fixtures.
Benefits
- Fast curing (probably the fastest curing material on the market)
- High resolution
- Paintable surface
- Low odour
- Dimensional accuracy and stability
- Compatible with most LCD resin 3D printers
Printing Tips
- Level your build plate.
- If it’s your first print with this resin, print something small first.
- Find initial printing settings here: AmeraLabs resin settings.
- Use support column thickness of 1.5-2mm, support tip thickness of 0.2-0.6mm.
- Use attachment layer.
- Hollow your models.
- Use slower lift speeds. 5mm/min for bottom layers, 40-60mm/min for normal layers.
Printing Speed
AMD-3 is probably the FASTEST curing resin for LCD printers!
Designed to work even on low powered LED/LCD 3D printers equipped with LED light sources emitting 365-420nm UV light. Compatible with colour and monochrome LCD 3D printers.
We have recommended 3D printing settings for many 3D printers here: AmeraLabs resin settings.
Accuracy
AMD-3 LED resin produces dimensionally accurate and stable prints. Due to its stiffness and a fair amount of hardness it can sustain straight edges and print out even the tiniest features. Supports do not bend during printing, keeping the model in place throughout the whole printing session and giving a higher rate of success with complex prints. It exhibits low shrinkage so the print will not deform during post-curing stage and will not crack over a long period of time.
Surface
AMD-3 is carefully pigmented to get an ideal colour that expresses the most intricate details. Colour is almost fully opaque. Surface is glossy and hard (80-90 Shore D). After post-cure, the print does not feel sticky or tacky and is pleasant to touch. It does not scratch very easily. It can be primed and painted with most popular paints. Due to its hardness, material surface can be polished to remove any layer lines, support marks or other imperfections. This allows using this material for printing masters for applications where smooth surface is needed.
Moisture & Chemical Resistance
Water absorption is less than 0.2%. This means, that your models will not deform due to moisture or exposure to IPA. It is even resistant to some acids.
