Elevate Your Block Modelling with Accura 25 SLA Material

Industrial design is constantly evolving, with designers always on the lookout for materials and processes that can enhance their workflow and final products. Traditionally, foam has been the go-to material for mock-up models, but it’s time to rethink this choice. We invite you to explore the benefits of using Accura 25 in SLA 3D printing—a material (and a 3D Printing process) we’ve trusted for years that surpasses foam in every way.

Overnight Printing for Rapid Iteration

In the fast-paced design environment, speed is crucial. Accura 25 allows for overnight printing, enabling designers to quickly produce multiple design variations. This rapid turnaround not only accelerates the development cycle but also provides the flexibility to refine and perfect designs without delay.

Quality Feel for Handling Trials

When it comes to handling and testing prototypes, the quality feel of the material is paramount. Accura 25 offers a superior tactile experience compared to foam, which often lacks the necessary rigidity and precision. With Accura 25, designers can conduct handling trials with a material that closely replicates the final product, ensuring better insights and more accurate feedback.

In addition, there are a number of finishing options available for SLA 3D printed parts which include build line removal, lacquering, painting, application of a ‘soft feel’ coating to external surfaces, and a blackout/EMI/RFI coating can be applied inside.

Clean and Dust-Free

Working with foam can be messy, producing dust that can infiltrate workspaces and disrupt other processes. SLA 3D printed parts made with Accura 25, on the other hand, are clean to the touch. It is a process that eliminates the hassle of dust, creating a more efficient and pleasant working environment.

Accuracy and Reliability

Foam mock-ups, while useful, are less precise than SLA 3D printed models. Accura 25 boasts excellent mechanical properties, such as a tensile strength of 38 MPa and a flexural strength of up to 58 MPa, providing robust and reliable prototypes that can withstand rigorous testing.

A Proven Material in an Advanced Process

Accura 25 isn’t a new material; it’s one we’ve been successfully using in our SLA 3D printers for many years. The stereolithography (SLA) process itself is a highly accurate and reliable method for creating detailed and complex models, making it an ideal choice for industrial designers looking for the best in prototyping technology.

Why Stick with Outdated Methods?

Foam has served its purpose, but in today’s competitive market, sticking with outdated, messy, and less precise materials can hinder progress. Accura 25, combined with SLA 3D printing, offers a modern solution that enhances the prototyping process, ensuring better quality models and faster development times.
