Somos® PerFORM™
Stereolithography

Somos® PerFORM is the material of choice
for applications that require strong, stiff,
high temperature resistant composite
parts. With its excellent high heat
tolerance, outstanding detail resolution
and stiffness, Somos® PerFORM is theideal material for a variety of applications
including tooling, wind tunnel testing, hightemperature testing, electrical casings andautomotive housings.
With the lowest viscosity of any composite
stereolithography material, parts madefrom Somos® PerFORM are faster to build,easier to post-process clean, possess
superior sidewall quality and provide
unmatched detail resolution.

Key Benefits

Ideal Applications• Excellent detail resolution• Tooling• Fast, easy processing & finishing• Wind tunnel testing• Superior high heat tolerance• High temperature testing• Electrical casings• Automotive housings
