For those times when the performance of a plastic prototype just won’t cut it, yet machining or die-casting is too expensive, give it the full metal jacket. Give it SLArmor. Exclusively from FineLine, this revolutionary breakthrough takes stereolithography to the ultimate degree by finishing off an advanced ceramic-filled epoxy material from DSM Somos® — NanoTool™ — with a metal coating that gives parts the look, feel, and strength of metal, but without the weight. Extraordinary among SL resins for its extreme strength, rigidity, and temperature resistance, NanoTool, in combination with SLArmor’s nickel plating, takes strength, stiffness, and impact and temperature resistance to a degree previously unattainable in SL parts. In fact, the composite nature of the process gives SLArmor a greater strength-to-weight ratio than some metals.
