Somos® WaterShed® AF is a multi-purpose stereolithography resin that meets the requirements for investment casting patterns, as it is antimony-free. Patterns created with Somos WaterShed AF leave much lower ash residue after burnout, reducing clean-up and speeding up mold production.
Multipurpose resin that prints 50% faster than alternatives eliminating the need for painting.
Somos®® WaterShed XC 11122, has up to a 50% faster processing speed, offering minimal finishing and more consistent processing over time. Compared to alternatives currently on the market, Somos® WaterShed Black prints a more true black color off the machine. The material offers a smooth surface finish and higher moisture and chemical resistance.

Somos® WaterShed® XC 11122 produces optically clear parts with a smooth finish, and it’s ease of use helps to shorten product development and testing. This versatility means Somos® WaterShed® XC 11122 is the ideal material in markets such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics for applications including packaging, RTV patterns, durable concept models, wind tunnel testing, and investment casting patterns.
In motorsports – as in automotive, rail, and aerospace – speed is key. Getting ready for a race, from design to the track, you need to be the fastest. Printing your wind tunnel models with Somos® PerFORM Reflect saves more than 30% post-treatment. So, you can get your aerodynamic designs onto your vehicle faster – and be more competitive on the track, road, rail, or air.
In Formula One, a car body is typically printed at 60% of its normal size for simulation purposes and checked with particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) in critical areas. Somos® PerFORM Reflect is a new and unique stereolithography material developed specifically for 3D printing parts for wind tunnel testing with PIV. With this innovation, Stratasys again sets a standard in enabling faster aerodynamic design optimizations – in motorsports and beyond.
Somos® PerFORM Reflect produces strong, stiff, high-temperature resistant composite parts that are ideal for wind tunnel testing. Extensive tests show that the new Somos® PerFORM Reflect reduces post-processing by more than 30%, eliminating the need for additional PIV coatings. This translates into faster data collection, decreasing overall lead time per design iteration and allowing customers to conduct iterations faster.
Somos® PerFORM Reflect utilizes patented new technology that reduces and even eliminates much of the finishing work required with traditional materials. Based on Stratasys’ industry-standard Somos® PerFORM, Somos® PerFORM Reflect demonstrates all the performance attributes that customers rely on, such as low viscosity, low settling, fast processing, high stiffness, and heat resistance.
Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed how complex, hollow composite parts are created. Somos® DMX SL™ 100 provides an unparalleled solution for producing tough, complex hollow composite parts with a superb surface finish and high feature detail.
No other solution allows such easy removal after the autoclave process, enabling multiple iterations to be implemented quickly. This results in tough, complex hollow composite parts with superb surface finish and high feature detail.
Somos® PerFORM Reflect™ produces strong, stiff, high-temperature-resistant composite parts ideal for wind tunnel testing with PIV. Printing your wind tunnel models with Somos PerFORM Reflect saves more than 30% post-treatment. So, you can get your aerodynamic designs onto your vehicle faster - and be more competitive on the track, road, rail, or air.

How Toyotetsu America’s Onboarding Reduced the Use of Real Lift Trucks by 50% with Training Simulation
Toyotetsu America Incorporated (TTAI) operates more than 100 lift trucks to support their automotive parts manufacturing. In 2018 TTAI became a Simlog customer and has since trained about 600 Lift Truck Operators. The onboarding program consists of three steps:
- Two days of classroom "orientation"
- Half-day of training simulation
- Half-day of “obstacle course” work at the controls of a real lift truck.
In addition, when an incident occurs on the shop floor and the “root cause analysis” points to a lift truck problem, the Floor Manager can send the operator back to the Forklift Personal Simulator for “refresher” training, to help improve the operator’s skills.
