ID-Light™ (Industrial Design Light) is only offered by Solid Concepts. Parts built with this technology are significantly lighter (about 1/12th the weight) and build faster than solid SLA parts. ID-Light has received excellent acceptance for large appearance models for office products, furniture, entertainment models, art, and architecture.
This light-weight SLA product is created with a proprietary laser scanning pattern such that a thin outer shell (about 0.030 to 0.040") is used to encase a drainable inner scaffolding-like matrix. ID-Light uses a custom formulated SC1000 photopolymer that allows for rigid and accurate geometries. Solid Concepts' large part assembly and shipping expertise make even large models possible with this advanced technology. Two-part urethane paint option is also available for increased rigidity and impact strength.
Entertainment industry professionals said that they would need to "move heaven and earth" to fabricate 6'4" ZoomR (pictured below) in four weeks. Solid Concepts built, assembled and painted ZoomR in less than two weeks.
