3Dresyn Bio Corn is a bio based 3D resin containing corn which has been designed for eco friendly SLA, DLP & LCD 3D printing. 3Dresyn Bio Corn contains 88% total bio content including corn and other bio based vegetable ingredients functionalised to react with light.
The goal of this product line is to promote the usage of bio based SLA 3D printing by developing eco friendly resins made with ultra high content of bio based ingredients.
3Dresyn Bio Corn partially breaks down biologically into biological simpler substances through the action of enzymes from microorganisms.
The main advantages of SLA vs FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) or filament printing is higher resolution and definition of prints, broader range and improved material properties. One of the key disadvantages that has limited the promotion of stereolithography in homes and schools has been that commercial SLA 3D resins are not environmentally friendly, nor safe for health nor for the environment.
Another limitation of SLA 3D printing has been its secrecy related to its basic fundamentals, creating a sense of mistery and frustrating "blax box" testing.
In order to unboxing the "blax box" and promote scientific teaching and safe printing, the 3Dresyns team has designed these simple, scientific and reliable Instructions for Use to ensure a clear and deep understanding of SLA 3D printing fundamentals.
One of the key objectives of 3Dresyns is to design, make and promote safe and environmentally friendly 3D resins to ensure safe printing resin handling and disposal.
