The accuracy of stereolithography, the durability of thermoplastic
DSM's Somos® NeXt provides the accuracy of stereolithography with the look, feel and performance of a thermoplastic. It combines the ruggedness of an ABS-like thermoplastic with the precision of a high resolution SL material. Providing thermal resistance, durability and high impact strength. Somos® NeXt is nearly indistinguishable from finished traditional thermoplastics, but has toughness, durability and accuracy not traditionally seen in stereolithography resins. 3D printing functional testing applications and prototypes with this unique material can save significant amounts of time, money and materials. Somos® NeXt makes functional prototyping and the creation of jigs, fixtures and production parts faster and less costly.
