When talking about 3D Printing, it’s hard to ignore the awesome quality that DLP Printers can offer, due to their high precision LCD Masking or Laser-based curing systems. However, it’s also quite hard to ignore that 3D Resins can be messy, and unfortunately can lead to sensitisation and skin irritation if not handles with proper care. This is why we really love cool products like the Wham Bam Slap Mat, which is made from the extremely chemical and heat resistant material known as Silicone, and is designed to help you keep your workspace clean, while providing a safe and environmentally friendly way to dispose of 3D Resin spills and splats after they’ve been neutralised.
The Wham Bam Slap Mat (what a great name!) is quite similar to the Silicone Soldering Mats that we stock, but is more simplified and is sized perfectly to offer a wide working area, or to neatly fit underneath the common size of Desktop DLP Printers like the Creality LD-002R. It features a fun, bright orange colour, and is specially made to catch all of the resin spills and splats that happen during the print removal and post-processing steps. Then, once you’re done with your print, you can take the mat outside, leave it in the sun until the resin cures and hardens – at which point it becomes neutralised and safe for the environment – and then flex it to pop the cured resin off and straight into the dustbin with little to no unnecessary mess or hassle.
This awesome Slap Mat makes 3D Printing with DLP Resins so much easier and safer than ever before, while also helping to reduce any chances of the still-active photopolymer getting into sewerage or waste disposal systems. Additionally, this mat can also be used for a good range of other arts, crafts and hobbies as well, and is even resistant to body putty, enamel paints and almost any glue you can think of. And with such a simple yet effective, and certainly quite eye-catching design, the Slap Mat is ready to add both fun and functionality to all of favourite hobbies.

If you want to see this mat in action, along with a nice review and basic rundown of how it works for DLP Printing and 3D Resins, check out this enjoyable video from Uncle Jessy, which features a fantastic thumbnail preview, as well as great insights into the actual product too:
Wham Bam Systems is a funky, lively brand created by Peter Solomon, who has actually been a relatively well known inventor for 45 years now. From developing laboratory methods and protocols, to work on complex interferometer mechanisms, Peter has been applying for patents since as far back as 1984 – and now his most recent work is the reinvention of the 3D Printer Build Platform. This is how Wham Bam Systems started, and since 2019 they have been gaining popularity as some of the most effective and most convenient build plate systems on the market.
Catering to a large range of popular 3D Printers from leading hobbyist 3D Printer brands, Wham Bam Systems offers some of the best build plates on the market, and with the recent addition of the Wham Bam HotBox to their catalogue, we can’t wait to see what else Wham Bam Systems has in the pipeline for future upgrades.
