ACF Advanced Release Film for MSLA 3D Printers – 1 Sheet Pack

Premium Separation Film for High-Performance Resin Printing

Ideal for larger-format printers where easy release and low peeling force are paramount, ACF Advanced Release Film excels in producing high-quality, detailed models across various industries, including engineering, dental, and manufacturing. Whether you’re creating intricate designs or large-scale prototypes, ACF provides the reliability and print quality needed to achieve consistent results.

What is ACF?

The ACF Advanced Release Film is a next-generation elastic separation film engineered for bottom-up MSLA 3D printers. Made from a proprietary blend of FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), ACF provides exceptional release characteristics and superior durability, while maintaining excellent optical clarity to improve cure consistency.

Unlike standard separation films such as FEP or PFA, ACF is softer and more flexible, meaning it absorbs some of the mechanical forces involved in the peel process. This can lead to better print outcomes, particularly when printing large, flat objects or intricate parts where adhesion to the film can otherwise cause warping or delamination.

Key Features & Benefits

• Ultra-Low Peeling Force – Reduces stress on the model, enhancing success rates
• Enhanced Optical Clarity – Improves UV light penetration for more accurate curing
• Flexible & Durable – Engineered for large-format and high-detail prints
• Ideal for Flat Models – Reduces print failure risks on large surface areas
• High Chemical Resistance – Compatible with a wide range of aggressive resins

Use With Care: Important User Considerations

Because ACF is softer than traditional films, it is more susceptible to tearing or puncture if not used correctly. It is essential to ensure that the resin, printer, and film are all correctly calibrated before starting production runs.

Follow These Steps to Maximise Film Life and Print Success:

• Important: Ensure that the glossy surface of the film is facing into the resin vat, while the matte surface should face the LCD screen.
• Perform a calibration print (such as our MonoMatrix model) whenever changing resin, printer, or film type
• Adjust exposure settings based on the resin used and the characteristics of the film — over-curing or excessive adhesion can lead to damage.
• Inspect the film surface regularly for signs of wear, deep scratches, or deformation.
• Avoid overloading the build plate with large or multiple models until settings have been confirmed.
• Use Monocure3D resin and recommended settings as a baseline for safe and consistent performance.

Disclaimer: Damage Due to Incorrect Use

Monocure3D will not be held responsible for damage to printers, vats, LCDs, or any associated hardware due to:

• Tearing or puncturing of the ACF film during use
• Improper installation or maintenance ie. installing incorrectly
• Use of incompatible resins, pigments, or additives
• Failure to calibrate exposure times or dial in print settings
• Environmental factors such as light exposure or incorrect storage
• Resin leaks due to poor installation or lack of user experience

UV resin is a light-sensitive material and must be handled with care. MSLA printing requires experience and a thorough understanding of printer setup, exposure calibration, and environmental control (including temperature and ambient light safety). Print rooms should be light-safe, and all films, resins, and equipment should be used strictly as recommended.

Perfect for Large Format and High-Precision Printing

ACF is particularly beneficial for large-format MSLA printers, where low peeling force is critical to reduce print stress and prevent failure. This makes it the ideal film for professionals in:

• Engineering & Prototyping – Precision, functional components
• Dental – High-accuracy models, trays, and appliances
• Manufacturing – Tooling, fit checks, and industrial modelling
