Somos® Taurus™ is an advanced stereolithography (SLA) resin engineered to provide thermoplastic-like performance in 3D printed parts. It combines robustness, dimensional stability, and a specified surface finish in a distinctive charcoal gray appearance. The material's primary differentiator is its ability to deliver both high strength and significant heat resistance, a combination previously difficult to achieve with SLA materials, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial applications.
Engineered for durability, Somos® Taurus™ offers superior toughness and maintains its mechanical properties in elevated thermal environments. It has a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of up to 91°C, allowing for functional testing and deployment in applications such as under-the-hood automotive components or industrial equipment housings. The material’s high tensile strength and impact resistance ensure parts can withstand significant mechanical stress without failure.
Leveraging the precision of SLA technology, parts printed with Somos® Taurus™ feature an exceptionally smooth surface finish and fine detail resolution. This specified output minimizes the need for extensive post-processing, saving time and labor. The professional-grade finish makes it suitable for both functional prototypes that closely mimic final products and for low-volume production of end-use parts.
The balanced property profile of Somos® Taurus™ makes it a versatile solution across the product lifecycle. Its strength and accuracy are ideal for creating tough, functional prototypes for rigorous testing. At the same time, its durability and thermal performance qualify it for manufacturing customized end-use parts, low-volume connectors, and other production components.
