Resin has important applications in the automotive industry because of its excellent mechanical and processing properties. The use of such materials helps to reduce the running quality of automobiles, improve fuel economy and vehicle design, achieve integrated development of components, and effectively reduce vehicle manufacturing costs. In particular, the development of 3D printing technology and high-performance resin materials in recent years has greatly shortened the development cycle of companies, and production-grade resins are gaining use at the manufacturing end.
Take the Toyota Gazoo Racing team, for example, which seeks additive manufacturing (AM) solutions for motorsports, automotive customization, and short- and long-term production capabilities. With new advances in materials chemistry, they have brought to market a range of breakthrough production-grade resins that offer innovative material performance and longevity. Enabling rapid delivery of thousands of smaller volume production parts.
Manufacturing industries such as automotive have turned to production-grade resins, which offer extreme strength and better durability, and the full potential of these revolutionary materials was tested through a partnership with Toyota.
Figure 4 Tough 60C White is a production-quality white multifunctional material that not only meets biocompatibility requirements, but also has excellent impact strength, elongation and tensile strength. The material has a surface quality similar to injection molding and provides long-term environmental stability and long-lasting white color. The material can be used for mass production of high mechanical load-bearing parts and is capable of maintaining functionality and stability for many years.
At the same time, the resin has a heat deflection temperature of 65°C and elongation at break of 23%, with a yield elongation of 7.1% making it ideal for the manufacture of brackets, snaps and clips. High print speeds and simplified post-processing speeds allow for excellent throughput.
