What is MED610?
MED610 is a rigid, transparent acrylic-based PolyJet photopolymer certified for short-term skin and mucosal contact and validated for EtO and gamma sterilization. Engineers specify it for clear, dimensionally accurate patient-contact models built directly on Objet30 Prime/Dental, J5 MediJet and Connex systems, in glossy or matte finish; default values are 57 MPa tensile strength, 17% elongation and Shore D 84. The resin softens above roughly 50 °C, so steam autoclaving is ruled out, and prolonged UV exposure yellows it. VeroClear is the nearest clear PolyJet grade where biocompatibility is not required. MED610 has a density of 1.18 g/cm³ (0.0424 lb/in³), lighter than 52% of polymer grades. Its glass-transition temperature is 53°C (127 °F). MED610 has a tensile strength of 57 MPa (8.27 ksi), stronger than 65% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 17% and the elastic modulus is 2.5 GPa (0.363 Msi).

Physical6
MED610 has a density of 1.18 g/cm³ (0.0424 lb/in³), lighter than 52% of polymer grades. Its glass-transition temperature is 53°C (127 °F).
Mechanical10
MED610 has a tensile strength of 57 MPa (8.27 ksi), stronger than 65% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 17% and the elastic modulus is 2.5 GPa (0.363 Msi).
Thermal7
MED610 is rated for continuous service to 45°C (113 °F). It conducts heat at 0.2 W/m·K (0.116 BTU/hr·ft·°F), worse than 56% of polymer grades. Thermal expansion is 90 µm/m·K (50 µin/in·°F).
Chemical & Environmental3
Corrosion resistance is very good (70/100), worse than 78% of polymer grades. UV resistance is poor.
Sustainability3
Producing a kilogram of MED610 takes about 110 MJ of energy and emits 5.5 kg of CO₂ — more than 64% of polymer grades. Typical recycled content is 0%.
Manufacturability3
MED610's machinability is good (55/100, worse than 64% of polymer grades).

Working with MED610
Is MED610 easy to machine?
Light drilling, trimming and thread-tapping are possible with sharp tools and low feed; keep parts cool since heat above ~50 °C softens and distorts them.
Can MED610 be welded?
Not weldable by heat; join with cyanoacrylate or UV-cure acrylic adhesive, using only biocompatible adhesives on patient-contact parts.
Can MED610 be formed, bent or molded?
Not moldable — parts are built directly on PolyJet machines (Objet30 Prime/Dental, J5 MediJet, Connex); orient critical features away from support to control clarity and accuracy.
MED610 chemical composition (wt %)
Limits by weight percent from the governing specification, written the way the spec states them — a single maximum for impurities, a range for alloying elements, and the base element as balance. Nominal is the typical mid-range value.
| Element | Spec limit (wt %) | Nominal |

What surface finishes work on MED610?
Remove support by waterjet/NaOH-free medical cleaning cycle, then wet-sand and acrylic-polish for transparency; sterilize by EtO or gamma — avoid steam autoclave and prolonged UV exposure.

MED610 — frequently asked
What is MED610 used for?
MED610 is typically used for surgical guides, dental models, medical device prototypes and anatomical models. In short: biocompatible clear PolyJet resin; etO and gamma sterilizable; rigid but not autoclavable.
What is the tensile strength of MED610?
MED610 has a typical tensile strength of 57 MPa (8.27 ksi) — stronger than 65% of polymer grades.
Is MED610 easy to machine?
Reasonably — machinability is rated good (55/100, worse than 64% of polymer grades). Light drilling, trimming and thread-tapping are possible with sharp tools and low feed; keep parts cool since heat above ~50 °C softens and distorts them.
