Choosing the right plastic for your 3D-printed part is essential, but it doesn’t have to be complicated

 Consider these key factors:

  • Environment: Will the part face outdoor elements, high temperatures, or other specific conditions?
  • Application: Does the part need to withstand mechanical forces, or is it a simple display piece?
  • Appearance: Some plastics come in limited color options, which may affect the look of your finished part.

Tough Resin:

Overview: Tough resin is our most popular choice, offering a solid balance between affordability and strong mechanical properties.

  • Cost scale: $
  • Pros: Affordable and durable hard plastic with moderate flexibility and good impact resistance
  • Cons: May crack with repeated bending
  • Comparable Materials: Mechanical performance similar to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)

Available Colors: Black

Technical Specifications:

  • Tensile Strength: 38 MPa
  • Tensile Modulus: 447 MPa
  • Elongation at Break: 35.44%
  • Notched Impact Strength: 454.37  J/m
  • Hardness: 84 Shore D
  • Density: 1.15 g/cm³

Standard Resin:

Overview: Standard resin is ideal for parts or models that won’t face mechanical stress, as it is somewhat brittle. It offers low shrinkage and high precision, making it a cost-effective choice for prototypes or display models.

  • Cost Scale: $
  • Pros: Low shrinkage, high precision, vibrant colors
  • Cons: Brittle; unsuitable for parts exposed to mechanical loads

Available Colors: Black, Grey, White, Translucent, Red, Green, Blue, Ice Blue, Smoky Black
(Note: Availability may vary, and some colors may incur additional costs.)

  • Hardness: 68 Shore D
  • Density: 1.1 g/cm³

Impact+ Resin:

Overview: Super Shock Resistance, Bendable and Resilient Material, Ultra-high impact resistance that withstands even the most vigorous attacks continuously.

  • Cost Scale: $$$
  • Pros: Extremely tough and impact-resistant, it survives heavy impacts. Ideal for functional parts that experience high loads.
  • Cons: Very slow to print and expensive
  • Comparable Materials: Similar mechanical performance to Polycarbonate (PC)

Available Colors: Black

Technical Specifications:

  • Tensile Strength: 30.6 MPa

High-Temperature Resin:

Overview: High-temperature resin is designed for applications requiring exceptional heat resistance. It maintains stability and shape under high temperatures, with no deformation after exposure to 200℃, and retains its mechanical strength.

  • Cost Scale: $$
  • Pros: Excellent heat resistance, high precision, hard and durable, moderately impact resistant.
  • Cons: Brittle; prone to shattering if bent beyond its limits
  • Comparable Materials: Mechanical properties similar to Acrylic (PMMA) but with enhanced heat resistance

Available Colors: Translucent

Technical Specifications:

    • Tensile Strength: 53 MPa
    • Elongation at Break: 4.7%
