Somos Element™ Data Sheet

  • Stratasys Stereolithography | NEO Series Materials

A stereolithography material engineered to create flawless investment castings patterns.

Through continuous interaction with our customers, pattern makers and foundries, our team developed Somos® Element for producing investment casting patterns.

Somos® Element is an antimony-free stereolithography material specifically designed to improve the repeatability and quality of 3D printed casting patterns. Patterns created with Somos® Element leave trace amounts of lightweight, easily-removable ash residue after burnout and have better green strength, so there’s no worry of breakage during handling, while being dimensionally stable during storage. Any residue left behind is easily removed, leaving a perfectly clean void in the ceramic mold. This translates into lower mold prep times and lower rates of rework, saving customers time and money.

Key Benefits

  • Trace amounts of ash that are lightweight and easily removed
  • Suitable for high-end alloy castings
