Design Prototyping Technologies Dedicates Two Large Format SLA Machines for DSM Somos DMX-SLT 100

Service bureau increases capacity of ABS-like high-impact stereolithography resin for durable prototypes.

A provider of rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing services, Design Prototyping Technologies (Syracuse, NY) has dedicated two large format SLA machines for DSM Somos DMX-SLT 100.

The two systems are dedicated strictly for DMX which offer project managers and stereolithography technicians the advantage of running multiple parts in just one build cycle or processing large build styles without having to segment STL files. The resulting extremely durable prototypes with exceptional accuracy and detail resolution have four times the impact strength of typical ABS-like stereolithography resins.

DMX-SLT 100 was introduced by DSM Somos to the rapid prototyping and manufacturing industry in 2007. In addition to DMX, Design Prototyping Technologies runs a full line of DSM Somos resins including Somos 9120, WaterShed XC 11122, ProtoThermT12120 and ProtoGen 18420. Included in the company’s lab are nine large format, regularly calibrated stereolithography machines.
