Loctite 3D IND405 Clear certified for Carbon printers is a clear, tough, semi-rigid, 3D printing material. Produced as a one-part resin, the clear polymer is easily printed using the fast, reliable and consistent Carbon DLS process. With potential applications for enclosures and housings, light pipe prototypes, bottle prototypes, jigs and fixtures for production floors and more, Loctite 3D IND405 Clear offers engineers and designers a clear and durable material solution.
According to Dr. Simon Mawson, Senior Vice President and Head of 3D printing at Henkel, “Henkel is a leading provider of single-component technologies for additive manufacturing. Our expanded partnership with Carbon allows us to deliver Loctite 3D printing materials to customers in the aerospace, automotive, industrial and medical markets. Together we offer an efficient additive manufacturing workflow that facilitates the production of durable end-use parts.”
Henkel is a longstanding trusted partner for providing industrial solutions to a broad variety of industries. Under its leading Loctite brand, the company offers a growing portfolio of resins for photopolymer 3D printing. By combining the Carbon DLS printing process with Henkel´s materials expertise and coupled with highly-vetted workflow print settings, the partners aim to drive more adoption of additive manufacturing at scale.
