Frosted Detail & Frosted Ultra Detail

UV Curable Acrylic Plastic

Perfect for small high detailed models like miniatures, model trains, computer generated characters and alike due to the fine quality of the finish, thin walls of 0.5mm in Frosted Detail and 0.3mm in Frosted Ultra High Detail, in both settings we can achieve feature details of 0.1mm. The material is quite strong, slightly flexible and heat resistant up to 80/176 degrees C/F.

Both materials will have a startup fee of $5.00. Frosted Detail will then cost $2.39/cm3; Frosted Ultra Detail will be $3.49/cm3.

Print Lines
Due to the printing process, we need to place support material below the model. This support material can create small print lines in some parts, particularly if the part has flat surfaces. These print lines are small and not highly noticeable, however they will be exaggerated when painted. Take a look at the blue box below to see the print lines, the scale of the ruler below is in centimeters.

Printing process

The printing process used is Multijet Modeling (MJM). Molten plastic is deposited by print head onto platform in layers through several nozzles, essentially a large print head that sweeps across the build layer. As the heated material jets onto the build plate, it instantly solidifies. Afterwards, each layer is then cured, or polymerized by a wide area UV lamp after deposition. The next is applied and layers of thermoplastics builds up.

For overhangs, a support structure of lower-melting wax is constructed that is removed later by being heated. This method of “hands free” support removal allows for highly complex, and delicate applications. The products are printed on an aluminium tray. When printing is ready we place the aluminium trayin the freezer. After that, we get the models from the tray and put them in a basket. That basket we place in an oven to melt the wax away. After the oven we put the basket in a ultrasonic bath with oil to remove all wax rests. After the oil bath the product are really greasy, so we put the basket in another ultrasonic cleaner with water to flush all leftover oil away. Then we dab away the leftover water on the models.

The pros of this technology include build speed virtually independent of part size or quantity. This means that whether a person submits one part or 10, they will all print in almost the same time.
