About Project

The 3D-printed gear, crafted using Somos Ledo 6060, showcases the potential of this high-performance resin. Here's a detailed look at the key features and the printing quality of the gear:

Features

• Material: Made from Somos Ledo 6060, a photosensitive resin known for its toughness and smooth surface finish.
• Design: The gear features well-defined teeth designed for optimal performance in mechanical systems.

Printing Quality

• Overall Quality: The 3D-printed gear demonstrates good overall quality, capturing the essential details required for its functionality.
• Edge Quality: The edges of the gear teeth are not very smooth, which could affect the gear's performance. The rough edges are due to more pronounced layer lines, and they need improvement to ensure efficient meshing with other gears.
• Support Marks: The prints made with Ledo 6060 resin have some support marks remaining, which require post-processing like sanding and polishing to achieve a clean and smooth finish.

Conclusion

Despite some imperfections such as rough edges and visible support marks, the SLA 3D printed gear made from Ledo 6060 resin demonstrates the material's potential for creating functional and durable parts. With proper post-processing, the quality and performance of the gear can be significantly enhanced.

Solution

• Step 1: A 3D model of the gear was designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
• Step 2: The CAD data was prepared for SLA printing, including optimization for printability and the addition of support structures.
• Step 3: A vat containing Somos Ledo 6060 resin was prepared for the SLA 3D printer.
• Step 4: The 3D printing process commenced, building the gear layer-by-layer using a laser beam to cure the resin.
• Step 5: The gear was then washed to eliminate any remaining uncured resin.
• Step 6: To solidify the printed part and enhance its mechanical properties, the gear underwent a curing process using UV light.
• Step 7: Following the printing process, support structures were meticulously removed from the gear.
