About Project

Gearheads and engineers, take a look at these beauties! Here we have a set of SLA 3D printed test unit gears, showcasing the incredible capabilities of high-temperature resin.

These gears look like precision-made components, likely used for rigorous mechanical testing in various devices. Their identical shapes and sizes, with central holes and intricate teeth, hint at their functionality. But what truly sets them apart is the material: SLA Clear High-Temp Resin, capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 100°C!

The beauty of this resin lies in its versatility. Choose between a crystal-clear finish for perfect visibility of internal mechanisms, or a frosted option for a touch of sophistication. Whichever you prefer, both offer exceptional heat resistance, making them ideal for testing prototypes in high-temperature environments.

Solution

• Step 1: The 3D models of the test unit gears were designed, ensuring precise dimensions and identical shapes.
• Step 2: The designs were prepared for SLA 3D printing.
• Step 3: The printer was loaded with SLA Clear High-temp Resin-100℃.
• Step 4: The printing process was initiated, and the gears were printed layer by layer.
• Step 5: The printed gears were removed from the printer upon completion.
• Step 6: Support structures were carefully removed to avoid damaging the gear teeth.
• Step 7: One gear was polished and sprayed with a thin layer of clear acrylic oil to achieve a transparent finish.
• Step 8: The other gear underwent simple sanding, resulting in a frosted appearance with visible layer lines.
