Rubber-like (Tango) material has been specifically engineered to emulate the properties of rubber components. This material is formulated based on UV-curable resin. Tango exhibits remarkable flexibility and stretchability, akin to rubber or silicone materials typically found in sealing applications. The hardness of Tango can be finely adjusted using the printer settings, providing a customizable range of flexibility. Moreover, Gum-like (Tango) stands out for its exceptional capacity to reproduce intricate details, thanks to its minimal layer thickness of 0.016 mm. Gum-like (Tango) components are extensively utilized in crafting prototypes for injection molding processes.
Processing
The employment of PolyJet technology facilitates the production of components with unparalleled precision and surface finish. As the material is applied in its liquid state, it enables the creation of high-gloss surfaces and ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy. Components manufactured through the PolyJet process are also characterized by their structural resilience and overall durability.
Support Material
One important consideration in the design of intricate parts is the necessity to remove support material post-printing, typically accomplished through the application of a high-pressure water jet. However, it's essential to note that not all wall thicknesses can withstand the force of the water jet, so careful planning is required.
Support structures for PolyJet-based parts are constructed using a wax-like material. Regions that come into contact with this support material may display a matte and slightly textured appearance, which may be less stable compared to high-gloss surfaces. Nevertheless, all other surfaces can achieve a high-gloss finish. For instances where uniform surface quality is imperative, enveloping the entire component in support material can be considered.
