micro3D Introduces Tough Carbon Black: The Next Frontier in Micro 3D Printing

[London, January 2024] micro3D proudly presents Tough Carbon Black, an innovative engineering-grade resin that redefines performance in micro 3D printing. Designed to offer an optimal balance of strength, flexibility, and high opacity, Tough Carbon Black is particularly suited for components that endure repeated stress—such as snap-fits and electrical connectors—as well as sensors and optic devices requiring superior light-blocking characteristics.

Superior Mechanical Performance Under Stress

With its remarkable durability and tear resistance, Tough Carbon Black excels in applications across medical, defense, and aerospace sectors. Whether your parts must withstand chemical exposure or elevated mechanical loads, the material’s robust formulation provides consistent, high-quality results.

High Opacity for Sensors and Optics

One of the defining features of Tough Carbon Black is its deep black finish, enabling outstanding light-blocking and high-opacity performance. This quality makes it a go-to solution for sensor housings and optical assemblies, where controlling ambient light or stray reflections is crucial. By significantly reducing internal glare and reflections, Tough Carbon Black ensures devices maintain reliable, precise readings—even in challenging environments.

Engineering-Grade Photocurable Resin

Developed to achieve low viscosity and fast print speeds, Tough Carbon Black streamlines production without compromising resolution or dimensional accuracy. Its engineering-grade composition delivers exceptional strength, giving rise to robust parts that stand the test of time.

  • Electrical Connectors: Endure repeated mechanical engagement cycles
  • Component Housings: Maintain shape integrity under high stress
  • Optic and Sensor Modules: Elevate performance by reducing internal light noise

Precision and Efficiency in Micro-Manufacturing

In keeping with micro3D’s mission to push the boundaries of micro-manufacturing, Tough Carbon Black supports ultra-fine print resolutions and tight tolerances—all while reducing production costs and lead times. Its unique blend of mechanical robustness and high opacity helps address critical challenges in precision-driven industries, empowering designers and engineers to create cutting-edge solutions with confidence.
