Material
Durable Resin
Durable resin is a polypropylene-like photopolymer with low modulus, high elongation, and the highest impact strength of common resin options. It is ideal for pliable parts like living hinges and low-friction moving components.
Manufacturing processes
About
Durable resin is formulated to simulate polypropylene (PP), combining low stiffness with high elongation and impact strength. It is generally the toughest and most flexible of the common resin tiers, capable of significant deformation before breaking rather than cracking under stress.
It produces parts with a smooth, glossy surface finish and notably low friction, comparable to engineering plastics like acetal (POM), which makes it well suited to moving or sliding components. Compared to tough resin, which simulates ABS and holds more rigidity, durable resin trades additional stiffness for even greater flexibility and impact resistance.
Durable resin suits living hinges, snap-fit assemblies, ball joints, and low-friction, low-wear moving parts.
