BASF Ultracur3D RG 1100 Transparent by Forward AM is a premium standard 3D printing resin based on acrylate, distinguished by excellent mechanical properties and impressive optical clarity. This transparent resin is ideal for applications requiring both precision and aesthetics. With a Shore D hardness of approximately 80D, it offers high stiffness and strength while retaining slight toughness that reduces brittleness in thin-walled sections. The resolution is fine enough to sharply reproduce intricate details, making it a perfect choice for detailed models, small series, and technical prototypes. The resin is optimized for common LCD/MSLA printers with a 405 nm wavelength and features good stability in the print vat. Curing times are in the average range, allowing for a relatively fast printing process. After printing, the part requires thorough post-curing with UV light (365-405 nm) to achieve final mechanical properties and maximize transparency. Subsequently, the model can be sanded support-free and, if desired, polished or clear-coated. Safety precautions must be observed: always wear nitrile gloves and safety glasses, as the resin can cause skin and eye irritation. The work area should be well-ventilated. Due to its rigidity and detail accuracy, RG 1100 is excellent for engineering applications, sight glasses, transparent housings, and decorative objects, though it is less suitable for highly flexible applications due to its hard nature.
