USING SUPPORT GEL COPSIL 3D® ADD-GEL
At COP, we leverage our knowledge and expertise in polymer chemistry to design innovative solutions in our R&D laboratory, our engineers and PhDs in chemistry have developed a new support solution for COPSIL 3D® silicones: COPSIL 3D® ADD-GEL.
#1 - Make sure you have the right equipment
Before you start printing, do not forget any of the following items:
- COPSIL 3D® ADD-GEL,
- COPSIL 3D® Silicones cartridges,
- A container for support gel,
- A static mixer,
- A needle,
- A tweezer clip
#2 - Anticipate gel entrapment
Hollow parts might trap some gel. Therefore, we recommend including, when designing the part, a feature that allows the gel to drain away. In this manner, you will be able to purge it once the part is cured.
#3 - Better make printing in an air-conditioned space at stable temperature
As the gel is sensitive to evaporation, we recommand…
