A high-resolution photopolymer resin designed for benchside fabrication of PDMS master molds. Achieve precise microfeatures down to 50 µm with exceptional surface finish (RA 0.18 µm) for optically clear PDMS devices. Non-cytotoxic, reusable, and ideal for rapid prototyping of lab-on-chip designs without cleanroom requirements. Fast print and post-processing streamline workflows from CAD to functional molds.
This resin is exclusively available to owners or operators of CADworks3D systems.
