BASF Ultracur3D DM2505 Natural by Forward AM is a high-performance photopolymer designed specifically for industrial applications and precision rapid prototyping. This clear resin is characterized by exceptional dimensional accuracy and excellent surface properties, ensuring a very smooth finish after curing. Once cured, the material exhibits high stiffness and toughness, making it ideal for functional parts that must withstand mechanical stress.
The DM2505 is optimized for use with common LCD/DLP and SLA 3D printers operating in the 405 nm wavelength range. Thanks to its moderate viscosity, it processes reliably and reduces the risk of printing errors such as air entrapment. Cure times per layer are efficient, depending on the light source intensity. Typical applications include high-detail small batches, technical enclosures, dental models, and jewelry prototypes where neutrality and precision are required.
During processing, appropriate safety precautions must be observed, as the material may irritate skin and eyes. The use of protective gloves and safety glasses is recommended, as well as use in well-ventilated areas. Post-processing is straightforward: after printing, models should be cleaned in isopropyl alcohol to remove uncured resin and then fully post-cured with UV light (e.g., in a curing chamber) to achieve the final mechanical properties.
