Dutch 3D printing materials manufacturer Liqcreate has introduced Liqcreate Bio-Med Clear – a biocompatible, hard and clear resin for 3D printing. It features non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing and non-irritating properties. It is compatible with DLP, LCD and laser-based 3D printing systems in the 385-420nm range.
Bio-Med Clear passes ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2021 and ISO 10993-23:2021 biocompatibility tests. After printing, parts can be cleaned with disinfectants and sterilized by steam sterilization in an autoclave.
“Liqcreate Bio-Med Clear is designed to withstand elevated temperatures during steam sterilization, which does not influence final properties and part performance,” comments Jerzy Hul, Chief Scientific Officer at Liqcreate.
For optimal results, strict adherence to Liqcreate’s processing guidelines is essential, including printing at 20-25°C and washing parts twice in IPA or ethanol. After drying, parts should be cured at 60℃ for 30 minutes.
When using the Bio-Med Clear resin to manufacture regulated medical devices, the Liqcreate team should be contacted in advance. For OEM partners, Liqcreate also offers a custom development service for specific use cases.
