Standard Resin

Overview

Standard Resin is the foundation of SLA printing, delivering exceptional surface finish, fine detail, and tight dimensional tolerances that no FDM or SLS technology can match. It’s the best choice when visual quality and precision are the top priorities.

Key Properties

Standard Resin provides a smooth, nearly injection-moulded surface finish with layer heights as fine as 25 µm. Tensile strength is moderate (~40-65 MPa depending on the formulation), with good stiffness but limited impact resistance.

Advantages

• Exceptional surface finish — near injection-mould quality
• Finest detail resolution of any 3D printing technology
• Tight dimensional tolerances (±0.15 mm)
• Wide range of colours and transparent options
• Ideal for presentation-quality models

Limitations

• Brittle under impact — not for functional load-bearing parts
• UV sensitive — properties degrade with sun exposure over time
• Smaller maximum build size than FDM or SLS
• Requires UV post-curing and support removal

Common Applications

Presentation models, detailed visual prototypes, jewellery masters, miniatures and figurines, design verification models, consumer electronics mockups, and marketing samples.
