ASIGA SuperCAST S
$255.00 - $355.00
SuperCAST S is developed on next gen polymer casting chemistry and optimised for speed. For time critical pieces, SuperCAST S delivers the same castability as our SuperCAST X in a more reactive light sensitive formula for shorter print times.
Fast printing, smooth and ideal for those urgent projects.

Description, Indications & Effects:
Asiga SuperCAST S is intended be used in combination with DLP based 3D printers (i.e. Asiga Max Series or Asiga Pro Series) that support Asiga resins. Asiga SuperCAST S is optimised to build parts using light with 385nm or 405nm wavelength. Printer and resin must be optimized with respect to each other in order to produce complete and precise printed parts. If the printer and resin are not optimized with respect to each other this may have an adverse effect on the accuracy and physical quality of printed parts. DLP based 3D printers and post-curing lightboxes make use of a light source to polymerize the Asiga resin. Therefore, operators are advised to wear UV protective glasses when operating a 3D printer and/or lightbox. Differences in colour nuance may occur due to: production in batches; inadequate shaking and mixing of the original packaging before use; inadequate stirring in the SuperCAST S resin before use; insufficient post-curing.

Preparation:
Ensure the 3D printer is clean prior to use, including the imaging area and any optical surfaces. Ensure the material tray is clear of solid debris prior to commencing a print. The presence of solid particles in the resin may cause deformation or failure of the printed objects. Nitrile gloves should be worn at all times when handling Asiga liquid resins up until the finishing step. Avoid contact with skin. If contact with skin occurs, wash thoroughly with cold soapy water. If contact with eyes occur, remove any contact lenses and flush with cold water and seek immediate medical assistance.

Mixing Before Use:
In Bottle: Agitate/shake bottle vigorously prior to pouring for at least one minute.
In Material Tray: Stir material with a soft spatula. Take care not to damage the film of the Material Tray. This step is necessary to re-disperse the (possible) pigment sediment from the bottom of the vessel. Color deviation and print failures may occur if insufficiently mixed

Fill Material Tray:
Pour the resin into the material tray of the 3D printer. Avoid exposing resin to direct sunlight.

Washing:
Wash parts in 98% pure isopropyl alcohol in a well ventilated area. Best results are achieved when using a pre-wash and post-wash. The pre-wash bath may be isopropyl alcohol which has previously been used for washing SuperCAST S only. The post-wash bath should be fresh isopropyl alcohol. Using an ultrasonic cleaning device:
- Pre-wash bath: 1 minute.
- Post-wash bath: 1 minute. Best casting results are obtained when the parts are free of uncured resin. Soaking parts in isopropyl alcohol for excessive time will result in weakening of the part and possible shrinkage after drying. Important: Do not wash parts in solvent that has previously been used for washing other materials. Contamination may affect casting results. Allow parts to dry thoroughly before post-curing.

Post-Curing:
Post-curing SuperCAST S parts improves part strength and handling ability. Post-curing may improve the casting performance if the washing is incomplete. Well washed parts will cast satisfactorily without post-curing.
1. After washing and drying, let the printed parts rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the printed parts are free of alcohol residue.
2. Place the printed parts in UV curing unit “NK Optik Otoflash G171” for 2000 flashes.
3. Turn parts over and allow to cool.
4. Cure for a further 2000 flashes. Total: 4000 flashes (2 x 2000 flashes each side). Post-curing is an UV-light treatment to ensure that SuperCAST S printed parts obtain optimal polymer conversion. Through this the residual monomer is reduced to a minimum and the required mechanical properties are obtained. We advise use of the NK Optik Otoflash G171 postcuring box. Place parts inside the G171 Otoflash chamber on the support mesh, do not use a plastic tray inside the chamber. Inert gas is not required. Please see NK Optik Otoflash G171 user guide.
