Formfutura Platinum LCD Series is a general-purpose photopolymer LCD resin that is specifically developed to work with all open source LCD and DLP 3D printers in the range of 385 - 420nm. Our Platinum LCD resin is almost odorless and 3D prints with extremely high accuracy and a very smooth surface finish. The Platinum LCD Resin series is developed to 3D print with relatively short curing times.
Key features
Almost no odour - Compared to other resins on the market our Platinum LCD resin is relatively odour-free!
UV weather resistant
Fast printing with short curing times
High-resolution 3D printing with fine detail
Vivid colors with an extremely high level of colorfastness

Please note that the above-displayed values can vary with individual machine processing, post-curing parts, geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature.
Preparation(s) before starting to print
Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use.
After shaking the bottle, leave the resin to rest for 10 minutes to let air bubbles get out of the resin
The resin can be poured back from the vat into the bottle once your print is finished
Always use protective measurements like safety glasses and nitrile gloves when handling resins.

Post-processing
We do advise you to post-process your 3D print in order to achieve the material properties
Rinse your 3D printed object in IPA or (Bio)Ethanol for approximately 5 minutes
An ultrasonic cleaner is preferred/recommended
Make sure that IPA and/or (Bio)Ethanol rinsed objects are perfectly dry before further post-curing
Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use pressurized air for at least 2 minutes
Cure your object in a high power curing chamber for approximately 20-30 minutes at 65° C
The preferred curing wavelength is between 300-410nm
Safety
Please always be aware that when 3D printing with resins that you are working with chemicals and that you should always be cautious and use the personal protective equipment as stipulated in our safety data sheets.
Always wear Respiratory Protection when sanding/cutting the resin object.
Always use nitrile gloves when handling resins and uncured resin objects.
