LOCTITE® 3D IND405

LOCTITE® 3D IND405 Clear, certified for Carbon® printers, is a high-strength, clear 3D printable resin offering an ideal combination of toughness, clarity, and semi-rigidity.

Material Overview

Produced as a one-part resin, IND405 creates parts with a frosted clear finish right out of the printer, and with advanced post-processing, achieves enhanced optical clarity. This durable material is designed to handle high-impact and functional applications, making it a versatile choice for both functional prototypes and select end-use parts.

Key Features:

  • Frosted Clear Finish: Produces parts with an attractive, frosted finish that can be manually polished for improved clarity.
  • High Toughness: Known as the toughest clear 3D printable resin, it offers excellent impact resistance, suitable for parts needing resilience and strength.
  • Stable Clarity and Durability: Maintains both optical clarity and mechanical stability over time, ensuring parts retain their appearance and functionality.
  • Semi-Rigid: Provides flexibility with toughness, mimicking the behavior of unfilled polypropylene for functional versatility.

DLS Technology

Digital Light Synthesis™ or DLS, is an innovative breakthrough in 3D printing using digital light projection together with oxygen permeable optics developed through Carbon’s CLIP™(Continuous Liquid Interface Production) technology.

Applications

Tough Clear Resin

  • Fluid Ducts: Perfect for transparent, complex fluid ducts where toughness, clarity, and precision are critical, allowing engineers to visualize flow and maintain structural integrity.
  • High-Impact, High-Pressure Tooling: Suitable for tooling used in sheet metal forming and other high-stress applications that demand strength, impact resistance, and low-temperature durability.

Advantages:

  • Superior Impact Resistance: Toughest clear resin in the market, suitable for high-impact applications where resilience is essential.
  • Clarity with Post-Processing: Offers a frosted clear finish with the option for enhanced clarity, making it suitable for visually sensitive applications.
  • One-Part Resin for Ease of Use: Simple processing as a single-part resin reduces time and labor in production.
  • Durable and Stable: Maintains optical and material properties over time, providing reliable performance for long-term applications.

Disadvantages:

  • Post-Processing Required for Full Clarity: Achieving optimal optical clarity requires additional finishing, adding time to the production process.
