Description:
Cover: For the first time zinc polycarboxylate ionomers have been used successfully as a powder material for the rapid prototyping technology 3D Printing™. The resulting 3D models show water resistance, which is rather unique with respect to the conventional materials which are processed using the ZCorporation 3D printers or the Deskmodeler™. Advantageous are also the increased mechanical and dimensional stability of the 3D models printed by means of these new materials.Further details can be found in the Full Paper by A. Pfister, U. Walz, A. Laib, and R. Mülhaupt* on page 99.
