Overview
Somos Imagine 8000 is a low-viscosity SLA resin producing durable, translucent, waterproof parts with properties similar to traditional ABS and PBT engineering plastics.
Its 0.35% water absorption and watertight builds make it well suited to water-flow systems and air-hose testing, alongside RTV patterns and durable concept models.
Key Properties
Typical datasheet values; printed parts are anisotropic and XY-direction values are shown unless noted.
| Property | Value |

| Elongation at break | 11–20 % |
| Flexural strength | 60–75 MPa |
| HDT | 46–60 °C |
| Water absorption | 0.35 % |
Typical Applications
- Waterproof functional prototypes
- Water-flow and air-hose testing
- RTV patterns and durable concept models
