DSM Somos SLA
Somos Element
Low-ash casting pattern resin that burns out clean — foundry patterns without cutting a tool.
Investment Casting SLA Resin
Somos Element is a stereolithography resin designed specifically for investment casting purposes. Continued development over a number of years and feedback from customers, foundries and pattern makers have combined to produce a unique product that meets the demands of investment casting applications.
The resin is antimony free and produces accurate repeatable castings. Somos element has a strong green strength, is dimensionally stable and leaves very little ash at burnout. This low amount of ash means a perfectly clean mold that reduces time in prep, saving time and money for the customer.
