The Master Mold for PDMS Device prints with an exceptionally smooth finish that has a surface Ra value of 0.18μm. This ensures your PDMS devices bond properly to the chosen substrate and prevents any leaking when testing.
FASTER ITERATIONS
The master mold for PDMS resin has been specially formulated for the specific needs of researchers who cast PDMS devices. Print, cast, evaluate and iterate in the matter of hours instead of weeks. Features can be as fine as 50µm (XY).
EASE OF USE
After printing, getting your master mold ready for use is as simple as cleaning the part in isopropyl alcohol and curing it under a UV light. PDMS can be cast directly onto the master mold and removed effortlessly without the use of a release agent.
DEVICE DURABILITY
Printed molds are able to withstand the temperatures of a conventional lab oven when curing PDMS, without the loss of printed features or deterioration of the master. The device can be used multiple times without the quality loss of PDMS.
UNMATCHED TRANSPARENCY
Create optically clear and non-toxic PDMS that can be fixed onto a glass slide using oxygen plasma – a clean room is not required throughout the process.
