Light Link™ liquid resin uses Kynar® PVDF to create UV cross-linked parts with a stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer. Our Light Link™ product is a novel photo-polymer resin for use in DLP, LED, SLA, or MSLA printers at 405 nm wavelength. This resin is the first commercial Kynar® PVDF 3D printable resin. Light Link™ combines the high resolution of SLA 3D printing with the material properties of PVDF to produce parts that rival the quality of injection molding products.

Light Link™ Processing
Resin Vat Temperature
Heated vats are not required. Light Link™ resin prints successfully in any standard vat. Maintain an ambient temperature
Exposure Settings
- Normal Layer Exposure: 5.0 – 9.5 seconds (7.0 seconds recommended)
- Bottom Layer Exposure: 30 – 55 seconds (45.0 seconds recommended)
Basic Post-Processing
- Wash printed parts in 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for 5 – 10 minutes.
- Allow parts to air dry completely.
- UV cure for 2 – 10 minutes, depending on part size and geometry.
Enhanced Post-Processing
- Wash parts in 99% IPA for 5 – 10 minutes, then air dry.
- Perform any desired mechanical finishing (for example, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper).
- Place parts in a bag or container of clean IPA and ultrasonicate for 5 minutes at 20 °C.
- Remove and place on a microfiber cloth to air dry.
- UV cure for 2 – 10 minutes, depending on part size.
Note:
To improve bottom-layer adhesion, gently sand the printer’s build plate before printing. Always consult your printer’s specific guide or manual before making any modifications.
