AMD-3 High Resolution Models: DLP material data sheet

AMD-3 is a hard, low-shrinkage resin from Amera Labs for high-resolution models, in black or grey, for LED, LCD and DLP printers.

AMD-3 is a hard, low-shrinkage resin from Amera Labs for high-resolution models, in black or grey, for LED, LCD and DLP printers.

It cures fast even on low-powered printers, holds straight edges and fine features, and has low odour and low viscosity. A stabilised pigment dispersion means it can sit in the vat for long vertical prints without settling.
