4.4 INFILTRATING THE PART

The parts can be infiltrated with a variety of materials to produce a range of material properties. As an

early stage design tool, it may not be necessary to infiltrate the parts at all. If you wish to use the parts for

focus groups or to send to vendors, you may wish to infiltrate with resin, a two-part epoxy or other

material for greater durability and longer life. For information on other possible infiltration materials call

us at Z Corporation, or visit our website at www.zcorp-users.com

4.4.1 USING Z CORP. RECOMMENDED RESIN

1. Read and understand the Safety Information on the resin container label.

2. Dry the part as outlined in Section 5.3, Drying the Part.

3. In a well-ventilated area, place the part on waxed paper or on another non-stick surface.

4. Apply a thin coat of resin to the entire part by gently squeezing the bottle and letting the

resin drip onto the part.

5. Once the entire part is coated, let it dry for 45 minutes to one hour. To stop the part

from sticking to the wax paper, pick it up and move it every ten minutes until dry.

6. Once the part is dry, it can be sanded to improve the surface finish (250 grit sandpaper

works best). This operation should be performed while wearing a dust mask.

7. To further improve the surface finish, the part can be waxed. To wax a part infiltrated

with resin the part must be heated at 165 degrees Fahrenheit for one to three minutes

before waxing.

PLEASE NOTE: Please carefully read the Material Safety Data Sheet for resin before

use.
