Liqcreate Separation Model Resin

Resin preparation before printing

The Liqcreate Separation Model Resin must be shaken for several minutes before use to ensure a homogeneous mixture and optimal performance. After shaking, it is recommended to let it rest for a few minutes to avoid air bubbles that may affect the first layers. Before each print, gently mixing helps restore the ideal viscosity.

Resin level and behavior during printing

Keeping the Liqcreate Separation Model Resin tank at least at 75% of its capacity ensures a constant flow during printing. Due to its non-stick composition, the resin may increase its viscosity with heat, so a low level can cause process failures.

Base adhesion and part removal

The Liqcreate Separation Model Resin shows high adhesion to the build platform. To avoid damage, it is recommended to print in vertical orientation, reduce bottom layers, and use a metal spatula at a low angle. Adding extra thickness at the base of the model helps prevent chipping during removal.

Printing parameters and dimensional accuracy

Compatible with DLP, MSLA, and 385–405 nm laser 3D printers, the Liqcreate Separation Model Resin allows parameter adjustment for maximum precision. Applying shrinkage compensation is recommended, as parts may slightly reduce in size during the process, improving accuracy in dental models.

Support settings and part orientation

Printing at an angle improves surface quality and reduces defects in flat areas. With Liqcreate Separation Model Resin, for large parts it is recommended to reinforce supports by increasing their thickness or depth to ensure stability and avoid failures.

Optimization of non-stick properties

To maximize the non-stick effect against PMMA, it is recommended to print with 50-micron layers and orient suspended parts. The Liqcreate Separation Model Resin performs best when the surface is as smooth as possible, facilitating the separation of retainers and prosthetics.

Wall thickness and model design

A minimum thickness of 5 mm is recommended to ensure dimensional stability. In hollow models printed with Liqcreate Separation Model Resin, it is essential to include drainage holes to avoid defects and ensure proper printing.

Cleaning, washing, and post-curing

Parts made with Liqcreate Separation Model Resin can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, or specific cleaners. Two short washing cycles are recommended, avoiding prolonged exposure. Optimal post-curing is achieved with UV light for 30 minutes, preferably at 60 °C, to obtain maximum strength and stability.

Printing temperature and optimal conditions

The ideal working temperature for Liqcreate Separation Model Resin is between 20 °C and 25 °C. Lower temperatures may cause failures, while excessive heat can negatively affect material behavior.

Resin and tank maintenance

Filtering Liqcreate Separation Model Resin after failed prints prevents solid residues that may damage the printer or affect future parts. Keeping the tank clean ensures consistent results.

Proper material storage

The Liqcreate Separation Model Resin must be stored in its original container, protected from light and at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C to ensure long-term stability and performance.
