It provides test data for the Lumia X1 under defined conditions, including stiffness, strength and heat resistance values.
Axtra3D and Arkema announced that Arkema’s N3xtDimension N3D-FR512 flame-retardant photopolymer has received UL Blue Card certification for printing on the Axtra3D Lumia X1 Hi-Speed SLA system.
The certification provides independently evaluated material performance data for N3D-FR512 on the Lumia X1 under defined processing conditions. It gives engineering and procurement teams a documented reference when evaluating materials and additive manufacturing suppliers.
N3D-FR512 is a flame-retardant photopolymer with high stiffness, heat resistance and no intentionally added halogens. Its reported properties include a tensile modulus of 5,100 MPa, tensile strength of 42 MPa, elongation at break of 4.2% and heat deflection temperature of 170°C at 0.455 MPa. These properties may be relevant for rigid functional parts where flame retardancy and thermal performance are required.
The Lumia X1 uses Axtra3D’s Hybrid PhotoSynthesis (HPS) technology, which combines a laser and a DLP projector in the same process. The system is intended to support fine-feature reproduction, surface quality, throughput and mechanical performance.
UL Blue Card is part of UL’s Plastics for Additive Manufacturing Program. The program provides test and certification data to support material evaluation. Final part suitability depends on the application, design, processing conditions and qualification requirements.
