Somos DMX is a tough, high performance resin. It's opaque white appearance and durability compares well with engineering plastics.
DMX has a fairly high impact resistance, which makes it ideal for functional testing and produces accurate enough detail for prototypes that are used for fit, form or presentation. These SLA parts can be sanded, primed, painted and used as final show pieces.
This durable material also works well when creating snap fits or assemblies that require tougher than normal loads.
