3D model manager Evan Fisher on a new photopolymer that is flame retardant without compromising mechanical properties.
Flame retardancy is a fundamental requirement for parts used in many safety critical applications, but traditional resin additives like halogens come with a performance penalty, especially in mechanical properties. Formlabs has developed a flame-retardant additive polymer material that preserves essential properties like modulus, while carrying multiple certifications. Evan Fisher discusses the resin with engineering.com.
